Abstract
The vertical photovoltaic system (100), which comprises at least one photovoltaic module (105) and two posts (110, 111), comprises at least: for each post, a primary securing means (115) for securing a first flexible tie (120) to said post, the collaboration between the primary securing means applying longitudinal tension to the first tie, the first flexible tie being held taut between the two posts, and a fixing means (125) for fixing the module to the tie.

A vertical photovoltaic system comprising at least one photovoltaic module and two posts, which system is characterised in that it comprises at least:
- for each post, a primary securing means for securing a first flexible tie to said post, the collaboration between the primary securing means applying longitudinal tension to the first tie,
- the first flexible tie being held taut between the two posts, and
- a fixing means for fixing the module to the first tie;
- which also comprises:
- for each post, a secondary securing means for securing a second flexible tie to said post, the collaboration between the secondary securing means applying longitudinal tension to the second tie, and
- the second flexible tie being held taut between the two posts, the first tie and the second tie being secured to two different parts of the photovoltaic module.
A method for installing a cable-supported vertical photovoltaic system, comprising:
- a step of positioning a first post, the first post being positioned vertically,
- a step of fixing the first post in an installation ground,
- a step of positioning a second post, the second post being positioned vertically,
- a step of fixing the second post in an installation ground,
- a step of placing under tension at least two flexible ties between the two posts, comprising:
- a step of securing each said flexible tie to the first post, and
- a step of securing each said flexible tie to the second post, and
- a step of fixing a photovoltaic module to said taut flexible tie, the first tie and the second tie being secured to two different parts of the photovoltaic module.
