## Abstract

The invention relates to a system for manufacturing support bases for photovoltaic units with a special multilink. The system may include a number of triangular units between which metallic spokes are finally arrested by the screw. In this way, we can create equilateral triangles of selected dimensions, which form a complete unit. A corresponding number of these complete units are assembled to each other by a hexagonal profile.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system of manufacturing support bases for photovoltaic units, comprising:
a plurality of multilinks;
each of the plurality of multilinks comprising a plurality of cavities and a plurality of circular projections;
a plurality of metallic spokes supported by the plurality of multilinks; and
the plurality of metallic spokes comprising recesses inserted into the plurality of cavities with the plurality of circular projections blocking the exit of the plurality of metallic spokes from the plurality of multilinks.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of multilinks and the plurality of metallic spokes comprise an equilateral triangle.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system of claim 2, wherein a plurality of equilateral triangles comprises a hexagonal profile.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system of claim 3, wherein a plurality of hexagonal profiles supports the photovoltaic units with a clasp profile.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of multilinks comprises a central opening, perimeter openings, and a hexagonal cavity.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The system of claim 5, wherein the plurality of metallic spokes is immobilized in the plurality of cavities of the multilink by a screw extending through the central opening.

### Claim 7

A system of manufacturing support bases, comprising:
a plurality of multilinks;
each of the plurality of multilinks comprising a plurality of cavities and a plurality of circular projections;
a plurality of metallic spokes supported by the plurality of multilinks; and
the plurality of metallic spokes comprising recesses inserted into the plurality of cavities with the plurality of circular projections blocking the exit of the plurality of metallic spokes from the plurality of multilinks.
