Description

[0001] The mold is designed for the production of concrete bases, which are used for the assembly and optimal alignment of photovoltaic modules or modules for hot water generation.

[0002] Draft angles within the mold facilitate demolding of the concrete, preventing damage to the base and increasing production efficiency. The sprue is placed from the bottom of the casting, which contributes to a good visual appearance and also ensures a roughened base.

[0003] The mounting surface for modules is provided at a defined angle to the sprue opening. Brackets for the aforementioned modules are inserted into this mounting surface.

Claims

[1] Chamfers for easy demolding: The chamfers (1) allow for effortless demolding of the hardened concrete and prevent damage. These chamfers enable a one-piece casting mold, which reduces production costs and significantly simplifies handling. [2] Mounting surface with defined angle: The mounting surface (2) of the photovoltaic or solar modules and the flat underside of the mold (3) are at a defined angle to each other.
