Self-ballasted pre-engineered modular platform assembled onsite for generating electricity with bifacial photovoltaic modules

A modular system for deployable solar installations, the system comprising:

• one or more photovoltaic modules;
• an upper portion configured to support the one or more photovoltaic modules;
• a base portion configured to be disposed adjacent to a ground surface in an assembled and installed state of the system;
• and
• a middle portion comprising a plurality of struts that extend between the base portion and upper portion, the middle portion being configured to support the upper portion at a height of at least 8 feet above the ground surface in the assembled and installed state;
• wherein, in the assembled and installed state:
• the base portion comprises:
• a first set of members, the first set of members running in a first direction relative to the ground surface and parallel to a plane of the ground surface;
• and
• a second set of members, the second set of members running in a second direction relative to the ground surface that is transverse to the first direction and parallel to the plane of the ground surface, the second set of members being disposed on top of one or more of the first set of members;
• one or more of the plurality of struts of the middle portion are affixed to one or more of the second set of members and extend upwardly toward the upper portion;
• and
• the system comprises rigging points configured to be coupled to a vehicle, such that the system is configured to be towed by a vehicle, while assembled, across the ground surface to a deployment area of the ground surface, and wherein the first set of members is a first set of tub girders having a trapezoidal cross-section with an open face, the open faces of the first set of members facing upward and open faces of the second set of members facing downward in the assembled and installed state.
