Abstract
A modular system of mating connector cables for connecting solar power sources to devices requiring power includes connector cables assembled from compatible cable segments, mating connectors and junctions. The cables of the system may be of consistent polarity among various configurations such that current flows through mating connectors at the cable ends. The cables may be variously configured to provide for the connection of solar power sources in series or in parallel, and for connection to devices with various power input connectors or terminals.
Claims12
A dual-core modular electrical cable system for facilitating connection of at least two photovoltaic cells in series and for connection to a load, comprising
- first dual-core cable segments, each of said first dual-core cable segments having a first end provided with a first coaxial power connector adapted for being electrically detachably connected to one of said photovoltaic cells via a corresponding first mating coaxial power connector to receive power therefrom;
- a second dual-core cable segment having a second end provided with a second coaxial power connector adapted for being electrically detachably connected to said load via a corresponding second mating coaxial power connector;
- and
- a junction for aggregating said first dual-core cable segments and said second dual-core cable segment to electrically interconnect said at least two photovoltaic cells in series and to further connect said at least two photovoltaic cells to said load.
A kit for interconnecting plurality of photovoltaic cells to at least one load, comprising:
- at least one dual-core modular electrical cable system for facilitating a connection of at least two of said photovoltaic cells in parallel and for connection to said load, comprising
- first dual-core cable segments, each of said first dual-core cable segments having a first end provided with a first coaxial power connector adapted for being electrically detachably connected to one of said photovoltaic cells via a corresponding first mating coaxial power connector;
- a second dual-core cable segment having a second end provided with a second coaxial power connector adapted for being electrically detachably connected to said load via a corresponding second mating coaxial power connector;
- a junction for electrically interconnecting said at least two of said photovoltaic cells in parallel and connecting further to said load;
- and
- at least one dual-core modular electrical cable system for facilitating a connection of at least two of said photovoltaic cells in series and for connection to said load, comprising:
- first dual-core cabling segments, each of said first dual-core cabling segments having a first end provided with a first coaxial power connector adapted to be electrically detachably connected to one of said photovoltaic cells via a corresponding first mating coaxial power connector;
- a second cabling segment having a second end provided with a second coaxial power connector adapted to be electrically detachably connected to said load via a corresponding second mating coaxial power connector;
- and
- a junction for electrically interconnecting said at least two of said photovoltaic cells connected via said first cabling segments in series and connecting further to said load through said second cabling segment.
