Solar collection panel edge fastening - consists of inverted T=shaped girder with bolts passing through panel edges

摘要

The structure is designed to hold and fasten together elements for a solar energy collector mounted on the roof of a building. The edges of the flat collector plates (12, 13) are connected by bolts (1) with nuts (10) on the ends. The nuts incorporate bushes (9). There is an inverted T-shaped girder connected to a roof beam (11) by a screw or bolt (3). The upright of the T (14) lies adjacent to one of the plate edges (12). There is a watertight seal between the two plates, mounted above the bolt (1). It consists of a mass of sealing material (7) above a filler piece (6). The bolts (1) each have a square middle section.
