| 20110094560 | DIRECT MOUNTED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE WITH IMPROVED SIDE CLIP - The present invention is premised upon a photovoltaic assembly system for securing and/or aligning at least a plurality of vertically adjacent photovoltaic device assemblies to one another. The securing function being accomplished by a clip member that may be a separate component or integral to one or more of the photovoltaic device assemblies. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110094568 | DIRECT MOUNTED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE WITH IMPROVED FRONT CLIP - The present invention is premised upon a photovoltaic assembly system for securing and/or aligning at least a plurality of vertically adjacent (overlapping) photovoltaic device assemblies to one another. The securing function being accomplished by a clip member that may be a separate component or integral to one or more of the photovoltaic device assemblies. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110094570 | DIRECT MOUNTED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE WITH IMPROVED ADHESION AND METHOD THEREOF - The present invention is premised upon a photovoltaic device suitable for directly mounting on a structure. The device includes an active portion including a photovoltaic cell assembly having a top surface portion that allows transmission of light energy to a photoactive portion of the photovoltaic device for conversion into electrical energy and a bottom surface having a bottom bonding zone; and an inactive portion immediately adjacent to and connected to the active portion, the inactive portion having a region for receiving a fastener to connect the device to the structure and having on a top surface, a top bonding zone; wherein one of the top and bottom bonding zones comprises a first bonding element and the other comprises a second bonding element, the second bonding element designed to interact with the first bonding element on a vertically overlapped adjacent photovoltaic device to bond the device to such adjacent device or to the structure. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110100436 | PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE AND METHOD - The present invention is premised upon an improved photovoltaic device (“PVD”) and method of use, more particularly to an improved photovoltaic device with an integral locator and electrical terminal mechanism for transferring current to or from the improved photovoltaic device and the use as a system. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110100438 | BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC HAVING INJECTION MOLDED COMPONENT - The invention is a photovoltaic device comprising a photovoltaic cell assembly with an injection molded portion connected to at least one edge of the photovoltaic cell assembly where the body portion has properties and a composition enabling robust function over a period of years when the photovoltaic device is mounted on the exterior of a building. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110101564 | METHOD FOR ENCAPSULATING THE EDGE OF A FLEXIBLE SHEET - The present invention is premised upon an inventive method of producing an over-molded edge portion on a flexible substrate, wherein the edge portion is void of open areas due to support devices in the mold cavity. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110183540 | CONNECTOR DEVICE FOR BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE - The present invention is premised upon a connector device and method that can more easily electrically connect a plurality of PV devices or photovoltaic system components and/or locate these devices/components upon a building structure. It also may optionally provide some additional sub-components (e.g. at least one bypass diode and/or an indicator means) and may enhance the serviceability of the device. | 07-28-2011 |
