  • Publication number: 20120279557
    Abstract: A modular floating support structure for a solar panel array, each array module including floatation elements, a framework comprising E-W frame members connected to and aligning the floatation elements as well as N-S frame members providing a base on which panel supports are installed, and coupling hardware for connecting array modules to adjoining modules in both the E-W direction and N-S direction. A wireway/walkway may be disposed between and connect two large array fields. A mooring and anchoring system secures the array to shore, distributes loads along large portions of the array, and prevents loads from being concentrated in small regions of the array, thereby preventing damage from environmental forces typically encountered in outdoor marine environments.
