Embodiments of solutions for PV modules with integrated mounting systems are presented. Application of the systems are found primarily but not solely in commercial and industrial rooftop solar installations. The disclosed solutions allow for a very flexible use of said PV modules with integrated mounting systems in various installation situations, with a focus on demonstrating concepts that show direct applicability of mounting featured for adhesive as well as for ballasted solutions, as well as the combination of both. Support features that enable ergonomic transport and installation are highlighted. Features for alignment, for providing structural strength as well as reliable, strong, yet accommodating interlinkage of PV modules are disclosed. The use of polymeric or fiber reinforced polymeric frames and mounting structures eliminates the need for grounding. Features are presented which a focus on not requiring tooling or hardware along with the installation.

The support assembly may comprise a the body portion including a base portion and at least one upright support member coupled to the base portion, the at least one upright support member comprising an integrally formed ballast tray slot in one side thereof for receiving an upturned edge of a ballast tray; and at least one clamp subassembly coupled to the at least one upright support member of the body portion, the at least one clamp subassembly configured to be coupled to one or more photovoltaic modules. In addition to a plurality of support assemblies, the mounting system may further comprise at least one ballast tray support bracket, the ballast tray support bracket supporting a portion of a ballast tray on the support surface.

The present invention relates to a mobile generator device (1) having at least one alignable solar panel (2a, 2b), wherein the solar panel (2a, 2b) can be moved in a transport position (TP) and at least one operating position (BP). The invention is characterized in that the generator device (1) has a housing shell (3a) with a peripheral area (4), wherein the solar panel (2a) is hinged to the housing shell (3a) so that the solar panel (2a) is in the transport position (TP) within the housing shell (3a) and does not project over the peripheral area (4). Moreover, the invention relates to a cooling system having the mobile generator device (1) according to the invention and a control, and a cooling device, in particular a freezer, having at least one cooling circuit, wherein the cooling circuit has a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The cooling system according to the invention is characterized in that the power supply of the cooling system is provided by the mobile generator device (1) and the control regulates the cooling system in dependence of the power supply.

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.

Systems and methods for mounting one or more framed solar modules are disclosed. A solar module mounting system can include a plurality of support members configured to support one or more framed solar modules above a mounting surface, such as the ground or the roof of a building. The support members can include rails formed from a rigid material, such as steel. The solar module mounting system can also include a plurality of attachment mechanisms each configured to secure a portion of a framed solar module to a portion of a respective one of the support members.

The invention relates to a system and a method for mounting at least one solar panel on a substantially flat mounting surface. The system comprises thereto a base element, a support structure configured for supporting at least part of at least one solar panel, which is connected to the base element and wherein the support structure comprises a retaining element for retaining at least part of an upper edge of the solar panel and a clamping element configured for clampingly engaging at least part of a lower edge the solar panel.

A first embodiment of an anchor system may include a ballast, rods projecting through the ballast such that the rods extend away from the ballast and into the ground when deployed, and a mounting hardware atop the ballast. The anchor system may include an anchor deployable into the ground with a line providing tension between the ballast and the anchor when deployed into the ground. Another embodiment of the anchor may include a ground plate coupled to a spade in which the spade may be pressed into the ground when deployed. The anchor system may include an earth anchor shaped to be deployed in a first position and resist removal from the ground in a second position. and a line running from the ground plate to the earth anchor. The tension on the line may cause the earth anchor to transition from the first position to the second position.

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.

Provided is a device for supporting solar modules, including a base rail having a first receiving opening , a support, the support having a first connecting element which is arranged in the first receiving opening, and a securing rail which is arranged on the base rail so as to at least partially encompass the base rail and is movable along the base rail. The securing rail at least partially closes the first receiving opening in a second position so that a movement of the first connecting element out of the first receiving opening is prevented. The securing rail unblocks the first receiving opening in the first position in such a way that a movement of the first connecting element out of the first receiving opening is made possible. Furthermore, a kit, a method for manufacturing a device, and a solar module arrangement are provided.
