The invention relates to a holding device (1) for a solar panel (2) on a parapet (3) of a balcony, said device having at least the following components: —a connection arrangement (4) for connecting an element to be held, wherein the connection arrangement has at least one support (5, 6, 7, 8) for placing on a parapet; and —at least one transverse strut (9, 10) for bridging a parapet width, wherein the at least one transverse strut is connected to the connection arrangement and has at least one flange (12, 13) for placing on a parapet, wherein by means of a movement of the at least one flange towards the connection arrangement, the at least one flange and the at least one support press in opposite directions against the parapet. The invention disclosed relates to a holding device which allows for greater flexibility with regard to the structure of a balcony parapet.

A photovoltaic (PV) module includes an absorber layer coupled to an optic layer. The absorber layer includes an array of PV elements. The optic layer includes a close-packed array of Keplerian telescope elements, each corresponding to one of an array of pupil elements. The Keplerian telescope substantially couple radiation that is incident on their objective surfaces into the corresponding pupil elements. Each pupil element relays radiation that is coupled into it from the corresponding Keplerian telescope element into the corresponding PV element.

To position a solar oven radiation collection device, a structural extension assembly extends in a radial direction with respect to a structure. A moveable transport provides linear movement of the solar oven radiation collection device along an axis of the structural extension assembly. A linear deploy electric motor is used to control linear movement of the solar oven radiation collection device along the axis of the structural extension assembly. A solar altitude electric motor is used to adjust orientation of the solar oven radiation collection device to take into account changes in solar altitude with respect to time. A solar azimuth electric motor is used to adjust orientation of the solar oven radiation collection device to take into account changes in azimuth with respect to time.

An absorber system solves problems of known absorber systems for use in solar fields in that the absorber tube is suspended on a rail below an absorber cover. The design also makes it possible to move measuring and cleaning robots and the like along the absorber tube more and allows the absorber tube and the secondary reflector to be jointly suspended, whereby an exact mutual alignment between the two components is enabled.

A modular solar skid includes a base including a skid, a panel support structure extending from the skid, at least one solar panel coupled to the panel support structure, and at least one enclosure coupled to the skid. The at least one enclosure is located within a cavity defined between the skid and the panel support structure.
