The photovoltaic panels may include at least a first photovoltaic panel and a second photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic system may further include support ballasts supporting the photovoltaic panels and a connection system configured to mutually connect at least one group of said ballasts. The connection system may include a concrete fairlead conduit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A photovoltaic system comprising: photovoltaic panels arranged in a row, the photovoltaic panels include at least a first photovoltaic panel and a second photovoltaic panel; support ballasts supporting the photovoltaic panels; and a connection system configured to mutually connect at least one group of said support ballasts, the connection system including: a first concrete fairlead conduit; a second concrete fairlead conduit aligned with the first concrete fairlead conduit; and a connector of the first and the second concrete fairlead conduit, the connector being constrained on a predetermined ballast. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined ballast is part of said group of ballasts, and said connector comprises a channel inside which both the first and the second concrete fairlead conduits engage. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The photovoltaic system according to claim 2, wherein said connector is constrained on said predetermined ballast by a threaded body that traverses said connector and engages in said predetermined ballast. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The photovoltaic system according to claim 3, wherein said connector comprises: a lower base; and a first and a second side wall that protrude upwards from the lower base, the first side wall being with respect to the second side wall nearer the predetermined ballast. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The photovoltaic system according to claim 4, wherein said connector has a prevalent longitudinal extension and comprises a plurality of holes arranged on said first side wall longitudinally one after the other, the threaded body traversing one of said holes. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The photovoltaic system according to claim 2, wherein said connector comprises: a lower base; and a first and a second side wall that protrude upwards from the lower base, the first side wall being with respect to the second side wall nearer the predetermined ballast. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The photovoltaic system according to claim 2, wherein said connector is made of metal material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein the first concrete fairlead conduit comprises: a bottom; and a drainage hole for water being placed on the bottom. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, further comprising a cover that is located over the first concrete fairlead conduit. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein at least one of said group of said support ballasts comprises two sides that are substantially orthogonal having common ends and distanced ends, said distanced ends are designed to support at least partially one of the first or the second photovoltaic panels and one of said two sides of the at least one of said group of said support ballasts being on the ground, the other being hooked to the connection system. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein the first and the second photovoltaic panels face an area in front of the photovoltaic system and said connection system extending parallel to the row defined by the photovoltaic panels and being located in a rear area of the photovoltaic system. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined ballast is a ballast which supports both the first and the second photovoltaic panel. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The photovoltaic system according to claim 1, wherein the first concrete fairlead conduit has a groove facing upwards, the system further comprising electrical cables housed in the groove, the electrical cables configured for passage of electric current generated by one or more of the photovoltaic panels and/or for signal input to and/or from one or more of the photovoltaic panels.
