| 20090012917 | System and Method for Array and String Level Monitoring of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power System - A grid-connected photovoltaic electrical power system with both array level and string level remote monitoring and production and efficiency analysis capabilities. The inventive system includes an array level monitoring component, software for recording and analyzing data obtained through the array level monitoring component, and a string level monitoring component. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090320827 | SOLAR ARRAY TRACKER CONTROLLER - A solar array tracker controller including an operator programmable micro- processor electronically connected to the drive motors in a solar panel array or other solar device array. The processor is user programmable and includes memory for storing a software program which includes an algorithm that determines the precise location of the sun relative to the array based on the local data input into the processor A GPS sensor and interface may be provided to obviate the need for local | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100088996 | APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING A SOLAR PANEL OR OTHER ARTICLE TO A ROOF OR OTHER STRUCTURE - An apparatus for mounting an article to a roof includes a base plate, threaded stud, lag bolts, spacer, and flashing. The base plate includes bolt holes to accommodate the lag bolts to secure the base plate to the roof. The threaded stud is secured to and extends vertically from the base plate. The spacer is inserted over the stud so that the stud passes through an aperture in the spacer, and is secured by a nut. The spacer acts as a lift for mounting an article up off the roof, thereby permitting drainage. The spacer includes a recess to accommodate the head of a lag bolt. The wrap-around flashing is captured between the base plate and spacer, creating a water free environment underneath the assembled unit. The flashing slides up underneath the roofing shingles to prevent water from penetrating the structure, and includes a lip to accommodate the base plate, and a detent to accommodate the bolt heads beneath it. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100243827 | ADJUSTABLE TILT SOLAR PANEL SUPPORT SYSTEM - An adjustable tilt solar panel support system including a support post, a U-shaped pivot bracket attached to the support post in a generally upright orientation and having a pivot pin hole for accommodating a pivot pin, and further having at least one adjustment opening; a rotational support cradle having a pivot pin hole in alignment with the pivot pin hole of the pivot bracket, such that the support cradle is pivotally attached to the pivot bracket, the support cradle further including at least one adjustment opening which aligns with the adjustment opening of the pivot bracket. An adjustment pin is selectively inserted into and through the adjustment openings of the support cradle and pivot bracket to secure the support cradle at a selected angle, and wherein the removal of the adjustment pin permits the rotational support cradle to pivot on the pivot bracket about the pivot pin. | 09-30-2010 |
