Abstract
A locking system for large photovoltaic modules which overcomes the limits linked to the manufacturing methods by means of constraints on their longer side; the system comprising blocks in cement conglomerate, to guarantee greater stability to the module itself and to allow the distance between the locking points to be varied both for horizontal panel installations and for vertical panel installations.
Claims8
A locking system (100) for a photovoltaic module (10) comprising at least two pairs of concrete blocks (1, 2), each block (1, 2) of each pair having:
- an upper surface (1′, 2′) having an inclination (α) and configured in such a way as to allow the support of the photovoltaic module (10), which must have the same inclination (α) on site and
- a lower surface (1″, 2″) configured in such a way as to allow a stable support on a flat surface,
- said upper surface (1′, 2′) also comprising a metal profile (3, 4) configured to allow photovoltaic module (10) connection to the blocks (1, 2) by means of clamps (11, 12)
- wherein along the upper surface (1′) of the first block (1) a metal profile (3) is provided, positioned in a transversal direction with respect to the direction joining said first block (1) and second block (2) when installed on site and along the upper surface (2′) of the second block (2) a metal profile (4) is provided positioned in a longitudinal direction with respect to the direction joining said first (1) and second block (2) when installed on site.
