Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention may provide an elongated single piece of framework (59) which may be bent around a corner (46) perhaps for form an about 90 degree angle (61). An elongated single piece of framework (59) may have a first end (49) and a second end (50) which may be joined to each other or may be joined to other ends of a separate framework. A partial frame (48) or even a rectangular panel framework (3) may be created from at least one of an elongated single piece of framework which may frame a solar panel.
Claims21
A method for enclosing a solar panel comprising the steps of:
- providing an elongated single piece of panel framework;
- bending said elongated single piece of said panel framework around a corner of a rectangular photovoltaic laminate to create an about 90-degree angle in said elongated single piece of said panel framework;
- placing said bent elongated single piece of panel framework around said corner of said photovoltaic laminate;
- and
- creating at least a partial frame around said corner of said rectangular photovoltaic laminate with said bent elongated single piece of panel framework.
