PIVOT-FIT FRAME, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES |
摘要 |
A system and apparatus are disclosed including PV modules having a frame allowing quick and easy assembling of the PV modules into a PV array in a sturdy and durable manner. In examples of the present technology, the PV modules may have a grooved frame where the groove is provided at an angle with respect to a planar surface of the modules. Various couplings may engage within the groove to assemble the PV modules into the PV array with a pivot-fit connection. Further examples of the present technology operate with PV modules having frames without grooves, or with PV modules where the frame is omitted altogether. |

1. An interlock for securing a first frameless photovoltaic module to a second frameless photovoltaic module, comprising:
(a) an interlock body; (b) a first frameless module receiving portion extending from one side of the interlock body, the first frameless module receiving portion being dimensioned to receive a frameless photovoltaic module pivoting during insertion therein; (c) a second frameless module receiving portion extending from an opposite side of the interlock body; and (d) a top panel passing over the first and second frameless module receiving portions. |
