  • Publication number: 20140021792
    Abstract: A solar power system includes at least one alternating-current module and a communication apparatus. Each alternating-current module includes a solar panel and an alternating-current inverter. The communication apparatus connects to the alternating-current module and controls stand-alone power-generating operations on the alternating-current module. The communication includes a module connector and a control circuit. The module connector is configured for connecting with the alternating-current module. The alternating-current module can be parallel-connected on a household power grid selectively. The communication apparatus can transmit a stand-alone power-generating command to the alternating-current module. The alternating-current inverter may cancel an anti-islanding protection procedure thereon according to the stand-alone power-generating command.

  • Publication number: 20130228212
    Abstract: A component for fastening wires in a solar module is disclosed. The component includes a fastener and an adhesive layer. The fastener includes a substrate, two hooks disposed on the substrate, and two bases. Two cavities are formed between the hooks and the substrate for receiving the wires. Each hook has an opening, and the bases connect to the substrate and are disposed corresponding to the openings. A surface of each of the bases facing away from the cavity is inclined relative to the substrate, and a surface of each of the bases facing the cavity is substantially vertical to the surface. The adhesive layer is disposed on a surface of the substrate which is opposite to the hooks. A solar module using the component is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130195700
    Abstract: A pressurizing pump structure includes a cover, a flow guide, a pump and a main axle. The flow guide is interposed between the cover and the pump. The main axle is mounted inside the pump. The pump has several pressurizing chambers, each of which has one or more pressurizing tanks. Each of the pressurizing tanks has a piston. The main axle has an eccentric part going into the pump for driving the pistons in the pressurizing tanks to make reciprocal motions as the main axle rotates, thereby outputting fluid with a higher pressure.

  • Publication number: 20120081891
    Abstract: A structure of light tube includes a main body, a power supply module, and at least one light emission element. The main body has first and second heat dissipation zones and an accommodation chamber. The main body has two ends respectively and electrically connected to two conductive terminals. The power supply module is received and retained in the accommodation chamber of the main body. The power supply module includes an enclosure forming a receiving space in which a power supply device is received and retained. The light emission element is coupled to the main body so that heat from the light emission element is directly drained through the main body, while the power supply dissipates heat through natural air flows without relying on the main body, so that there parts do not cause thermal interference with each other and the performance of heat dissipation is improved to thereby extend the lifespan of the light tube.
