  • Patent number: 12278593
    Abstract: Three-dimensional solar power generation systems are described. The systems are characterized by a plurality of solar panels configured to include pole and equator facing panels and, in various embodiments additional top and/or side panels that form a segmented and dome-shaped assembly. The systems have improved efficiencies particularly with respect to early morning and evening power generation that enable improved power densities on a given land area as compared to traditional solar panel arrays. Methods of deploying the systems are also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240243691
    Abstract: Devices for anchoring one or more solar panels are described. The devices include a container configured to receive ballast material to provide increased mass for anchoring one or more solar panels to a ground surface. The container also includes a solar panel connection system for securing one or more solar panels to the container and may support various additional features providing enhanced stability and protection of other solar array components. The devices may be used in combination with other solar panel support structures to create extended solar panel assemblies which may include additional energy collection features.

  • Publication number: 20010017272
    Abstract: A golf club locking device attachable to a golf club bag having a main portion divided into one or more compartments and a mouth portion forming openings in the bag for receiving golf clubs in the compartments. The golf club locking device comprises a locking member and a main member which fastens to the mouth of the golf club bag and includes openings corresponding to the compartments. The locking member is coupled to the main member and slides linearly in relation to the main member between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the openings are constricted thereby preventing removal of clubs from the golf bag. The locking device is manufacturable as integral component of a golf bag.
