Abstract
Support structures and systems for electrical panels, such as solar panels or collectors, and other materials and devices are described. The structures are relatively strong and lightweight and include cable management features.
Claims18
A support structure comprising at least one frame structure,
- the frame structure comprised of a plurality of grid elements and having a first region defining a front wall of the frame structure, a second region defining a bottom wall of the frame structure, and a third region defining a rear wall of the frame structure;
- wherein the first region and the third region are each angled at an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to the second region, such that the first, second, and third regions form a triangular shape;
- and
- wherein the first region and the third region terminate at end portions distal to the second region at an imaginary plane of truncation parallel to the second region, such that the frame structure has a three-dimensional shape that is a truncated triangular prism;
- and wherein access to a hollow region of the truncated triangular prism can be obtained along the imaginary plane of truncation.
