Devices, systems, and methods for platform microgrids can include a platform skid for mounting of microgrid system equipment, and a microgrid operations system. The platform skid illustratively comprises an intermodal container housing a power storage device in communication to provide power to the power delivery system.

In accordance with various exemplary embodiments, solar energy shade structures and methods of design and revenue generation are disclosed. These systems comprise structures capable of supporting solar panel at heights greater than 18 feet above their mounting surface. These systems may be installed in confined spaces. These systems also comprise structures that are customizable, allowing an installation to be configured with a desired lighting and environmental effect. The methods discussed herein describe processes for achieving desired design effects based on natural elements. Moreover, the methods discussed herein describe processes for reducing the costs of generating solar energy and/or reducing the costs of providing a solar structure.

A system includes a plurality of storage brackets installed on a roof deck, each including a base plate, an arm and optionally a head and a receptacle. The arm is optionally rotatable. The receptacle of one of a first pair of storage brackets is configured to receive the head of another of the first pair of storage brackets. The receptacle of one of a second pair of storage brackets is configured to receive the head of another of the second pair of storage brackets. The first and second pairs of storage brackets are spaced apart from one another. The brackets are configured to receive at least one roofing material, which is positioned on the base plate of at least one of the first pair of brackets and at least one of the second pair of brackets.

The invention relates to a protector for connection cables (21) and junction boxes (15a, 15b) for photovoltaic modules (1, 1a, 1b, . . . ) in a photovoltaic assembly (100), characterized in that it comprises: a cover plate (33), with dimensions sufficient to cover, when installed in the photovoltaic assembly between adjacent corners of at least two neighbouring photovoltaic modules (1, 1a, 1b, . . . ), the junction boxes and at least a portion of connecting cables (21) of said photovoltaic modules (1, 1a, 1b, . . . ), when installed, a spacing element (35), situated, when installed, between the cover plate (33) and a roof or support for the photovoltaic assembly (100), maintaining said cover plate (33) and roof or support at a distance corresponding to at least a maximum height of the photovoltaic modules (1, 1a, 1b, . . . ), attached, when assembled, to the cover plate (33).
