Abstract
A portable multiple configuration solar photovoltaic assembly is disclosed. The assembly contains a plurality of photovoltaic modules that collect solar energy and convert the solar energy into electricity. The present invention provides a junction box that allows for the assembly to be used in either an In-Series or In-Parallel wiring configuration.
Claims1
A portable installation of photovoltaic modules, the installation comprising:
- a Portable Power Generator which is made in two sections;
- each section has a Master Frame Weldment Assembly (35);
- in the center of each Upper Horizontal Weldment (58) is a Lifting Bracket (68) allowing the Portable Power Generator to be relocated from ground level location to a higher or remote location;
- on either side of the Lifting Bracket (68) are a set of Master Frame Weldment Assembly Hinges (52);
- each set of Master Frame Weldment Assembly Hinges (52) is connected, using an axle bar, to a Base Frame Extrusion (53) of a Base Frame Assembly (70);
- on the opposite side from the axle bar, as the Master Frame Weldment Assembly (35) lifts up and away from the Base Frame Assembly (70), Built-In Fold-Out Windscreens (48) (62) open and fall into place;
- Swivel Caster Wheels (54) are located at the end of Base Frame Extrusion (53), on the opened side, and are individually attached to a Quick Release Quick Detachable No-Flat Caster Wheel Assembly (55) by two Positive Locking Pins each;
- each of Base Frame Extrusions (53) has a Stabilizer (63) at an end;
- each of the Stabilizers (63) has a removable Claw (67) attached to its underside;
- each Claw (67) has multiple protrusions sticking down from its bottom side so that when the Portable Power Generator is in its open horizontal configuration, the protrusions penetrate the ground, holding the Portable Power Generator in place during seismic and high wind conditions;
- and
- the Portable Power Generator, when in a vertical upright mobile position and held open in a balanced V-shaped configuration by a Push-Bar (71), can be moved to and from any location on its Swivel Caster Wheels (54).
