Photovoltaic panel mounting rail with integrated electronics |
摘要 |
A photovoltaic mounting rail that includes an elongate bottom wall, a mounting support, an outer sidewall and one or more electronic components. The mounting support extends upwardly from the bottom wall to a top wall and extends between the first and second ends of the rail. The outer sidewall extends upwardly from the bottom wall to a distal edge and also extends between the first and second ends of the bottom wall. The outer sidewall is spaced apart from the mounting support and defines a service channel between the outer sidewall and the mounting support. The rail is adapted for attachment of a photovoltaic panel with electronic devices to the top wall of the mounting support and the connection of the electronic devices to electronic components located within the service channel. |

1. A rail for a photovoltaic panel racking system, the rail comprising:
a substantially flat elongate bottom wall comprising first and second sides, first and second ends, a top surface and a bottom surface; a mounting support extending upwardly from the top surface to a top wall and extending between the first and second ends; an outer sidewall extending upwardly from the top surface to a distal edge and extending between the first and second ends of the bottom wall, wherein the outer sidewall is spaced apart from the mounting support and defines a service channel between the outer sidewall and the mounting support; and one or more electronic components located within the service channel,wherein the rail is adapted for attachment of a photovoltaic panel to the top wall of the mounting support, and wherein the photovoltaic panel has one or more electronic devices that is/are connected to the one or more electronic components. |
