Claims13
A photovoltaic system comprising:
- a first row of photovoltaic panels;
- the photovoltaic panels of the first row having a rectangular plan with two longer sides and two shorter sides;
- the two longer sides of the rectangular plan being oriented along a prevalent direction of longitudinal extension of the first row;
- the panels of the first row being inclined relative to the horizontal and one of the two longer sides being higher than the other;
- the first row of photovoltaic panels comprises a first panel in turn comprising a first, a second, a third and a fourth side;
- the first and third sides being longer than the second and fourth sides;
- the third side being situated at a greater height than the first side;
- a second row of photovoltaic panels;
- the photovoltaic panels of the second row having a rectangular plan with two longer edges and two shorter edges;
- the two longer edges of the rectangular plan being oriented along a prevalent longitudinal extension of the second row;
- the panels of the second row being inclined relative to the horizontal and one of the two longer edges being higher than the other;
- the second row of photovoltaic panels comprising a second panel in turn comprising a first, a second, a third and a fourth edge;
- the first and third edges being longer than the second and fourth edges;
- the third edge being situated at a lower height than the first edge;
- first ballast means that support at least in part the weight of the first panel said first ballast means being at least in part made of concrete;
- second ballast means that support at least in part the weight of the first and second panels;
- said second ballast means being at least in part made of concrete;
- third ballast means that support at least in part the weight of the second panel;
- said third ballast means being at least in part made of concrete;
- wherein it comprises:
- i) a first bracket constraining the first panel to the first ballast means;
- said first bracket being applied to a concrete portion of the first ballast means;
- the first bracket comprising a first shelf that extends from the first ballast means towards the second ballast means;
- at least a part of the first side of the first panel-resting upon said first shelf;
- ii) a second bracket constraining the first panel to the second ballast means;
- said second bracket being applied to a concrete portion of the second ballast means;
- the second bracket comprising a second shelf that extends from the second ballast means towards the first ballast means;
- at least a part of the third side of the first panel resting upon said second shelf;
- iii) a third bracket constraining the second panel to the second ballast means;
- said third bracket being applied to a concrete portion of the second ballast means;
- the third bracket comprising a third shelf that extends from the ballast means towards the third ballast means;
- at least a part of the third edge of the second panel resting upon said third shelf;
- iv) a fourth bracket constraining the second panel to the third ballast means;
- said fourth bracket being applied to a concrete portion of the third ballast means;
- the fourth bracket comprising a fourth shelf that extends from the third ballast means towards the second ballast means;
- at least a part of the first edge of the second panel resting upon said fourth shelf.
