TRUSS FOUNDATIONS FOR SINGLE-AXIS TRACKERS
20210257964 · 2021-08-19 ·

Truss foundations for supporting single-axis trackers. A motor truss may be constructed from a pair of adjacent trusses that are braced and interconnected to resist axial loads and bending moments experienced at the drive motor or center structure. Dampers may be added to one or more trusses to protect the tracker from unintended rotation by resisting these forces with the truss legs.

TRUSS FOUNDATIONS FOR FROST-HEAVE ENVIRONMENTS
20210273603 · 2021-09-02 ·

A truss foundation for single-axis trackers that are installed in climates that experience significant frost heave. Truss legs are oriented to be substantially plumb, to eliminate adfreeze moment on below-ground components in the frost zone. Different truss caps may be used depending on the type of single-axis tracker and/or tracker component is supported. In some cases, truss legs may curve just before entering the ground. In others, below-ground and above-ground components may extend along the same axis and remain plump with the truss cap providing additional elevation to for the tracker to clear the wider truss legs.

NONINVASIVE ROOF ATTACHMENT WITH VERTICAL AND LATERAL ARRAY STAYS
20210062511 · 2021-03-04 ·

A non-invasive roof attachment system for attaching structures to residential and commercial roofs without the use of penetrations to roofing shingles and sealing layers is described. The attachment system includes vertical and lateral array stays to attach roof mounted systems such as solar panels. The non-slip attachment system also allows for the quick removal of such roof mounted systems rapidly and without the need for repair of penetrations. The non-slip attachment system uses, among other things, an array-stay retainer comprising a vertical member and a horizontal member. A high friction foam polymer padding may further secure the array stays to the roof.

EXPANDABLE SPLICE FOR A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
20200403559 · 2020-12-24 ·

The present disclosure describes an expandable splice configured for reinforcing a tube of a solar owner system, the splice including a top panel, a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, and at least one beveled corner panel, wherein the first and second side panels are connected to the top and bottom panels either directly or by the at least one beveled corner panel to form a channel therebetween.

Bonding clip for metal roofing
10454190 · 2019-10-22 · ·

Bonding clips used to electrically bond metal roofing are provided. The bonding clips include an electrically conductive back pad having a plurality of arms extending from the back pad. Each arm has one or more penetrating projections extending into a sheet receiving zone between the arms. The one or more penetrating projections penetrate any coatings on metal sheets the clips are attached to so that the one or more penetrating projections contact the underlying metal.
