摘要:
A cable retention clip includes first and second bodies. The first body defines a pair of first cable retention channels that are positioned adjacent with each other. Each first cable retention channel has a parallel channel axis and a first inlet opening extending a length of each first cable retention channel. The first body portion has a first base side opposite of each first inlet opening. The second body defines multiple second cable retention channels that are positioned adjacent with each other. Each second cable retention channel has a parallel channel axis and a second inlet opening extending a length of each second cable retention channel. The second body portion has a second base side opposite of each second inlet opening. The first base side is coupled to the second base side such that each first inlet opening opens in a direction opposite of each second inlet opening.
摘要:
A lead assembly includes at plurality of drop line joined to a feeder cable at joints each having a compression lug that is preferably surrounded by undermolding and overmolding. In use, each drop line is connected to a solar array, and the feeder cable is connected to an inverter. In this manner a plurality of solar arrays are electrically coupled together, with a common feeder cable connecting them all to the inverter. A system of the present invention doesn't require a combiner box which is conventionally employed directly upstream of the inverter.

A cable retention clip can include a structure retention section and a cable retention section. The structure retention section can have a clamp body having a base wall and two side walls forming a planar slot therebetween. There can be at least one grip element in the slot that is coupled with at least one of the two side walls. The cable retention section can be coupled to the structure retention section. The cable retention section can include a clip body defining at least two cable retention channels. Each cable retention channel can have a cable opening (e.g., slot into lumen) that extends the length of the respective cable retention channel to form a C-shape. Each cable retention channel can be parallel with each other cable retention channel. In some aspects, the clip body defines at least a pair of the cable retention channels forming a ω shape.
摘要:
A system for automatically commissioning a solar panel array comprises a plurality of panel monitoring devices, each panel monitoring device connected between a positive and negative terminal of a solar panel. Each panel monitoring device comprises a switching device, the switching device configurable to disconnect an output from the solar panel. The system further comprises logic configured to automatically obtain a relative position of each panel monitoring device in the system by appointing serially a series of masters from among the panel monitoring devices, each master in turn broadcasting a unique identifier and enabling its output. Each panel monitoring device listens to the masters' broadcasts and stores in memory the unique identifier and information indicating whether the panel monitoring device detected the masters' voltage. The panel monitoring devices determine their respective locations by analyzing the information broadcast by, and the voltage detected from, the masters.

摘要:
A junction box is affixed to, and electrically coupled with, a solar panel. The junction box is configured to releaseably engage and disengage accessory modules, thereby allowing accessory modules to be replaced or exchanged easily. Accessory modules are electrically coupled with other accessory modules in the solar panel string. The furthest downstream accessory module is connected to a wire harness, which is connected to a central combiner box.

In an example, a system to facilitate installation of a drive linkage in a solar array at or below an installation surface includes a housing and first and second interconnection assemblies. The housing is installed on or below the installation surface and is configured to at least partially enclose and protect the drive linkage at or below the installation surface. The first interconnection assembly extends between a first drive assembly of a first solar tracker supported above the installation surface by a support structure and a first end of the drive linkage at or below the installation surface. The second interconnection assembly extends between a second drive assembly of a second solar tracker supported above the installation surface by the support structure and a second end of the drive linkage at or below the installation surface.

摘要:
In an example, a system to facilitate installation of a drive linkage in a solar array at or below an installation surface includes a housing and first and second interconnection assemblies. The housing is installed on or below the installation surface on which the entire solar array is installed and is configured to at least partially enclose and protect the drive linkage at or below the installation surface. The first interconnection assembly extends between a first drive assembly of a first solar tracker supported above the installation surface by a support structure and a first end of the drive linkage at or below the installation surface. The second interconnection assembly extends between a second drive assembly of a second solar tracker supported above the installation surface by the support structure and a second end of the drive linkage at or below the installation surface.
