An integrated load management controller for directing electrical current generated by a plurality of solar photovoltaic modules exposed to ambient light selectively through a diverter to a battery bank for storage and to a current conditioner for supply of electrical current into an electrical grid, based on a supply demand communicated by an electrical grid demand controller, for managing the generation, storage, and supply of electrical current from the solar photovoltaic modules. A method of supplying supplemental electrical current to an electrical grid servicing load center using a solar-energy electricity generation system is disclosed.

Solar-energy electricity generation system with integrated load management

A ground mounting system for supporting solar photovoltaic panels on a planar or inclined having an array of soil fasteners in spaced-relation driven through a geomembrane overlying a greenfield ground site and connected with a respective one of a plurality adapting regulating apparatus to racks to which solar photovoltaic panels mount securely, which soil fasteners communicate compressive loads to the ground while resisting tension forces from wind uplift on the planar field of solar photovoltaic panels.

Anchoring structure for ground mounting of solar photovoltaic system

A mounting systemfor a solar panelincludes a base platehaving an elongated mounting slot, a spacer beamwith a slot, a first T-shaped fastenerhaving a mounting platewith a width slightly smaller than the size of the slot and a length larger than the size of the slot, so that the mounting plate may be passed through the slot and then rotated so that it then cannot pass back through the slot. A second T-shaped fastenerhaving the same configuration couples the solar panel to the spacer. The system optionally has a ballast systemwhich includes a ballast trayand third T-shaped fastenerof the same configuration for coupling the tray to the base plate. An anti-creep stripis coupled to the base member through fourth T-shaped fastenersof the same configuration.

Integrated photovoltaic module mounting system for use with tufted geosynthetics

A plurality of solar photovoltaic modules disposed in spaced-part relation to define a gap between adjacent modules in an array of spaced-apart rows and the modules mounted on respective supports spaced from a surface to define an air gap therebetween, with at least one connector attaching respective adjacent modules, for generation of electricity while resisting wind uplift. A method of arranging interconnected solar photovoltaic modules in spaced-relation is disclosed for electrical generation while resting wind uplift.

Highly dense array of photovoltaic modules

A turf joining system i ncluding a first piece and second piece of a synthetic turf and a bridge support. The first and second pieces have side edges which are closely adjacent each other. The bridge support heat welds to the overlying first and second pieces to form an elongated first heat weld and elongated second heat weld each proximate and spaced from the respective side edge to define a water channel therebetween. A method of sealing a plurality of synthetic turf pieces together is disclosed.

Synthetic turf joining system with water channel and method of joining synthetic turf

An integrated photovoltaic module mounting system having a friction member for engagement with a portion of a tufted geosynthetic cover and optionally attaching connectors attached to a photovoltaic module and to the tufted geosynthetic cover, for collecting and utilizing solar energy. A method of securing a photovoltaic module to a tufted geosynthetic cover is disclosed.

A mounting systemfor a solar panelincludes a base platehaving a mounting channeldefined by an elongated base member, two oppositely disposed elongated channel wallshaving clamping tangs, and a support wall. The mounting system also includes an I-beamhaving a lower member, an upper memberand a spanning member. A C-shaped bracketis slidably coupled to the upper member and has a mounting post with a staggered clamphaving a contact ledge. A nutis threadably coupled to the mounting postto force the contact ledge downwardly against the peripheral margin of the solar panel, thus locking the position of the solar panel. The mounting system includes a weld harness or weld harness stripand anti-creep stripswhich are coupled to the base member.
