Abstract
A floating solar system, comprising a floating base having, a buoyance and a lower base frame coupled to the buoyance, a center frame coupled to the lower base frame, an anchor coupled to the lower base frame, a plurality of solar panels affixed to the lower base frame and the center frame to provide electrical power, a lightning rod coupled to the center frame and a lightning rod cap coupled to the lightning rod.
Claims23
A floating solar system, comprising:
- a floating base comprising a buoyance, a lower base frame coupled to the buoyance, and a vertical center frame coupled to the lower base frame;
- an anchor coupled to the lower base frame;
- a plurality of solar panels affixed to the lower base frame and the center fran e to provide electrical power;
- a lightning rod coupled to the center frame;
- a lightning rod cap coupled to the lightning rod;
- a self-sink diffuser coupled to the floating base,
- a U-shaped clamp to secure an air hose to the floating base:
- wherein the self-sink diffuser includes at least one of a disk diffuser or a tube diffuser;
- wherein the floating base has a side extrusion to guide the self-sink diffuser:
- and
- wherein the self-sink diffuser comprises an air intake connected to a L-shaped connector bolted to a base plate.
The floating solar system of claim I further comprising at least one anchor cable coupling the anchor to the floating base, Wherein the anchor cable has extra length to allow movement in variations in water level.
The floating solar system of claim. I further comprising:
- an enclosure coupled to the floating base;
- an air compressor contained within the enclosure;
- an electronic controller electrically connected to the air compressor and contained within the enclosure;
- an air hose connected to the enclosure;
- an air control valve having at least one intake and a plurality of outlets coupled to the air compressor;
- and
- an air diffuser coupled to the air hose distal from an outlet of the enclosure.
