    Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a solar panel assembly to a base assembly includes a panel support bracket, a base bracket and a clamp configured to exert a compressive force to hold the panel support bracket and the base bracket together. The clamp comprises a V-shaped clamp body that includes a pair of legs that are spring-loaded to oppose an approximation of the legs by an external compressive force. The clamp includes a pair of receiver slots, with each of the pair of receiver slots located on a corresponding one of the pair of legs. The pair of receiver slots collectively provides a clearance to admit the panel support bracket and the base bracket when the legs are compressed together.

    Abstract: The disclosed Infrastructureless™ Data Center is a green-on-green technology. In an embodiment, an example Infrastructureless™ Data Center includes an Infrastructureless™ base node including a photovoltaic (PV) panel assembly. The Infrastructureless™ Data Center further includes a variety of proprietary computing components attached to the Infrastructureless™ base node including some or all of compute, memory, network, power and storage assemblies that, when attached to the Infrastructureless™ base node, create an Infrastructureless™ Data System. Infrastructureless™ Data Systems of similar configurations can be grouped together to form Infrastructureless™ Clusters. Multiple Infrastructureless™ Clusters can be grouped together to form an Infrastructureless™ Data Center of any size. In some embodiments, the Infrastructureless™ Data Center is electrically self-sufficient, e.g., carbon neutral, and does not need to be connected to an external power grid. In other embodiments, the Infrastructureless™ Data Center is carbon negative and can supply unused electricity to an external power grid.

    Abstract: A photovoltaic converter and a photovoltaic generation system. The photovoltaic converter is configured to electrically connect to a first photovoltaic module and a second photovoltaic module, where the first photovoltaic module includes a first positive electrode output end and a first negative electrode output end, and the second photovoltaic module includes a second positive electrode output end and a second negative electrode output end. The photovoltaic converter includes a current transformer and a power conversion circuit. The current transformer includes a magnetic structure, a first positive primary side winding, a second positive primary side winding, a negative primary side winding, and a first secondary side winding. The three primary side windings all pass through the magnetic structure and are spaced from each other. The first secondary side winding is wound around the magnetic structure. This reduces an occupied board area.
