20080276984 | System and Method for Magnetically Attaching Photovoltaic Modules Enabling Enhanced Redeployment - A system and method for magnetically attaching photovoltaic modules enabling enhanced redeployment comprises at least one photovoltaic module with a magnetic membrane disposed on an opposite surface to its light receptive side. The module is removeably attachable by the magnetic force of attraction between it and a magnetically receptive substrate. In one embodiment, an insert is applied between the module and the substrate to enhance performance. Inserts include insulative, metallic foils, fabrics, textiles, polymer films, polymer support mounts and air-seals such as silicon caulk. If the substrate is magnetically receptive, the photovoltaic module is applied directly therein. If the substrate is non-magnetic, a magnetically receptive sheet is applied to the substrate. The magnetically receptive sheet may be applied using a self adhesive. In another embodiment, a low surface energy tape is applied to the perimeter providing additional support and to keep elements such as wind and rain from infiltrating. | 11-13-2008 |
20090014051 | System and Method Utilizing Re-Deployable Insulated Self-Ballasted Photovoltaic Assemblies - A system and method of utilizing redeployable insulted self-ballasted photovoltaic modules comprises an insulative panel removeably attached to a substrate such as a roof, wall or other structure. A photovoltaic module is attached to the insulative panel. The insulative panel has tongue and groove attachment ends to fit a plurality of panels together. In one embodiment, an elastomeric coating is applied to the surface of the insulative panel to attach the photovoltaic module and to weatherproof the surface. In another embodiment, adhesives are used to attach the modules. A structural panel may be used to enhance performance. In one embodiment, a corrugated channel panel is used to circulate a fluid like water through the channels to cool the photovoltaic panels and or heat water. Various raceways and associated wiring is installed to complete the system. An elastomeric coating may be used to enhance the weatherability of the system. | 01-15-2009 |

20090320898 | Configurable Articulated Photovoltaic Assembly - A configurable articulated photovoltaic assembly has a plurality of photovoltaic modules hingedly connected to each other to allow the assembly to fold for transportation. The assembly is unfolded at the installation site, positioned and secured in place using adhesives, mechanical fasteners or both. The angle of the solar panels may be adjusted by moving support panels from horizontal to vertical. Once secured, the panels are rigidly held in place and are integrated with the building surface such as a roof or wall. Hinges are bidirectional and include metal, fabric and sliding extension types. Each module is wired and connected to a junction box attached therein. | 12-31-2009 |
20100126651 | ELASTOMERIC WATERPROOFING AND WEATHERPROOFING PHOTOVOLTAIC FINISHING METHOD AND SYSTEM - The present invention is for a system and method of creating a continuous, seamless, waterproof, weatherproof, electrically generating surface that can be applied over a great variety of structural components. The method comprises coating the selected surface with a base elastomeric coating thus sealing holes, cracks and other surface imperfections. In one embodiment, the base elastomeric coating is allowed to dry and at least one photovoltaic module is placed on the base elastomeric coating by using another coat of elastomeric material applied to the underside surface of the photovoltaic module or on the surface of the base elastomeric coating where the photovoltaic module will be applied. Another layer of an elastomeric coating is applied covering the perimeter edges of the photovoltaic module creating a continuous, seamless, waterproof, weatherproof surface capable of generating electricity. Other embodiments include various strengthening elements to create durable, weatherproof surfaces with the photovoltaic modules integrated therein. | 05-27-2010 |
