Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention relates to a photovoltaic assembly system for securing and / or aligning at least a plurality of vertically adjacent (overlapping) photovoltaic device assemblies 10 (or overlapping photovoltaic device arrays) to each other. The device 10 is preferably mounted directly to a structure (eg, a building structure, wall and / or roof deck). The present invention seeks to overcome the wind-uplifting problem through a unique clip solution, and optionally utilize this solution to address some of the other potential problems previously discussed. figure 1 Three photovoltaic devices 10 are shown in an assembled configuration (eg, a lower photovoltaic device array comprising two horizontally adjacent devices 10 and an overlapping upper photovoltaic device array comprising one device 10 ). Figures 1 to 6 Other detailed views of the device and / or clip are shown.

Abstract

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.

Description

[0001] This invention was made with US Government support under Contract No. DE-FC36-07G017054, Department of Energy. The US Government has certain rights in this invention. [0002] priority statement [0003] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of US Provisional Application No. 61 / 253,978 (filed October 22, 2009), the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0004] The present invention relates to photovoltaic devices mounted directly to structures and methods thereof, and more particularly to photovoltaic shingles capable of being mounted directly to building structures such as roof decks or walls and methods thereof. Background technique [0005] Efforts to improve the state of the art in the field of solar power generation, particularly building-mounted power generation, have received growing industry attention in recent years. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are a subset of building-mounte...
