MODULAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SKID BASE SYSTEM

摘要

A base is a platform that supports a component off the ground in a solar energy installation. The specific configuration of a base can vary based on the intended component, for example whether it holds a transformer or power component. Multiple bases are mechanically and/or electrically connected to form a system of bases in the field. Proper placement of bases and engagement of those bases is facilitated by mating alignment mechanisms such that one base can be lowered “fit” with another. A method of positioning components includes positioning a base and aligning and lowering a second base alongside the first such that the bases engage.

主权项

1. A base for supporting at least one component above ground in a solar installation including:
A) A first rail; B) A second rail parallel to said first rail; C) A cross brace connecting said first rail to said second rail; D) A first alignment mechanism connected to said first rail; E) A second alignment mechanism connected to said second rail; and F) An electrical bus system for coupling to at least one component, said electrical bus system extending upwardly from between said first rail and said second rail.
