Title: Dana K. Noyes and a Practical Photovoltaic Module Hoist.
Introduction
Dana K. Noyes is an inventor associated with Farmers Branch, Texas, and SolarCity Corporation. Her patent work includes a device designed to make lifting photovoltaic modules along a ladder more manageable.
Latest Patents
Noyes is credited with 1 patent: “Photovoltaic Module Hoist.” The invention describes a hand-powered hoist with a sled that slides along a ladder. A pulley assembly, mounted at the ladder’s top, uses one cord to raise the sled and a second cord as a safety release to allow it to descend. The sled is not attached to the ladder, and the removable pulley frame hangs from the ladder’s rungs, allowing the hoist to be installed quickly on a standard ladder.
Career Highlights
The photovoltaic module hoist reflects an effort to address the practical challenges of moving solar panels during installation. Its ladder-mounted, removable design combines a lifting mechanism with a controlled descent feature.
Collaborations
Noyes’s listed coworkers include Benjamin T. Materna and Brian D. West. The available information identifies these professional associations but does not specify their roles in the patent.
Conclusion
Dana K. Noyes’s patent presents a portable, hand-powered approach to lifting photovoltaic modules along a ladder, with a safety release intended to support controlled descent.
