Abstract
Solar energy system with at least one solar panel which is firmly held in a frame. In an essentially vertical or upright default position, the frame holds the solar panel in an essentially vertical or upright position. The frame can be tilted out of the default position about a substantially horizontal tilting axis in the vertically lower area of the solar panel or about a substantially horizontal tilting axis extending below the solar panel when a deflection force acts on the solar panel transversely to the tilting axis. When the deflection force is released, the frame automatically returns around the tilting axis towards the default position, for example by means of a restoring weight.
Claims18
A solar energy system comprising:
- at least one solar panel which is fixedly accommodated in a frame which is aligned in a substantially vertical or upright default position and which holds the solar panel in a substantially vertically or upright position,
- wherein the frame can be tilted out of the default position about a substantially horizontal tilting axis extending in a vertically lower region of the solar panel or about a substantially horizontal tilting axis extending below the solar panel when a deflection force acts on the solar panel transversely to the tilting axis, and the frame automatically returns about the tilting axis in a direction of the default position by means of a restoring weight arranged in a gravitational direction below the tilting axis when the deflection force is released,
- wherein the solar energy system is intended for use for elevation in an east-west orientation and the at least one solar panel is a bi-facial solar panel.
