  • Patent number: 9347693
    Abstract: A supporting assembly for a solar cell lamination includes a frame member, a column member, and an adapter member. The frame member includes a first flange, a second flange, and a first wall. The second flange is substantially parallel with the first flange. The first flange, the second flange and the first wall cooperate to define a space for accommodating the solar cell lamination. The column member is used for supporting the frame member, in which the column member has an end surface facing the frame member. The end surface has a proximal half portion and a distal half portion respectively proximal and distal to a central axis of the frame member, and a location of a vertical projection of the first wall on the end surface falls on the distal half portion. The adapter member is used for connecting the column member and the frame member.

  • Patent number: 9188365
    Abstract: A frame for supporting a solar module is disclosed. The frame includes a bar base and a first support. The bar base has at least two positioning holes. The first support is utilized for being engaged with the bar base. The first support includes two first sidewalls, two first extension portions, and a first top plate. Each of the first sidewalls has a first opening. Each of the first extension portions extends from an edge of the corresponding first opening toward an interior of the first support. An angle is included between each of the first extension portions and the corresponding first sidewall. The first top plate is disposed on top of the first sidewalls. Each of the first extension portions is trapped in the corresponding positioning hole when the first support is engaged with the bar base.

  • Patent number: 8752343
    Abstract: A solar apparatus includes a solar panel, a frame body surrounding an edge of the solar panel, a first Y-shaped support, and a second Y-shaped support. The first Y-shaped support has two parallel first extending arms and a first supporting portion. The first supporting portion is connected to the two first extending arms, and one of the two first extending arms is fixed on a side of the frame body. The second Y-shaped support has two parallel second extending arms and a second supporting portion. The second supporting portion is connected to the two second extending arms, and one of the two second extending arms is fixed on the side of the frame body. A height of the first Y-shaped support is smaller than a height of the second Y-shaped support.
