Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a foundation.The present invention further relates to an assembly method for a solar module canopy with a foundation.The present invention further relates to a solar module canopy. [Background technology]

[0002] The use of solar modules, such as photovoltaic or collector modules, is becoming increasingly important in creating canopies. Solar modules are typically used to form roof surfaces used as shelters for equipment, people, and / or vehicles. This allows for weather protection for the equipment, people, and / or vehicles located below, while simultaneously allowing the solar modules to generate heat and / or electricity.

[0003] However, the extensive use of solar modules to form the roof increases the demands on the overall structure.

[0004] For example, the demands on weather resistance and weather strength of such canopies are increasing. Even relatively small canopies with a small roof area can be subjected to high wind loads that require structural considerations. Larger canopies, such as carports, which are usually installed outdoors without protection, are often subjected to extreme wind loads. To prevent damage or destruction of the canopy, with the resulting danger to objects, vehicles, and people located below, large, dimensioned foundations are created specifically to secure the canopy, as well as the creation of high-strength support systems. However, this significantly increases the cost of such canopies. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a solar module canopy that can withstand high loads and at the same time can be cheaply and quickly fabricated in place. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] This problem is solved according to the invention by a manufacturing method for a foundation with the features of claim 1. The problem is further solved by an assembly method with the features of claim 5. The problem is further solved by a solar module canopy with the features of claim 7.

[0007] According to the invention, a manufacturing method is specified, which is particularly suitable for producing a base for a solar module canopy.

[0008] A canopy may be understood to be a device having a roof surface spaced from the ground under which equipment, persons and / or vehicles may be positioned for protection against weather conditions and / or the incidence of sunlight.

[0009] The ground can be understood as the natural or artificial soil or base on which the foundation is formed. The ground provides a base for the foundation and has a significant influence on the stability and load-bearing capacity of the foundation and the solar module canopy built on the foundation. The ground can have a surface fixation or an artificially formed surface, for example asphalt or concrete.

[0010] According to the present invention, the manufacturing method comprises at least the following method steps: method step a) of the method specifies forming a foundation recess in the ground of the solar module canopy. In other words, this method step describes the process of forming a suitable recess in the ground. This recess serves to accommodate the structure of the foundation and must typically be configured, in terms of its dimensions and shape, such that the foundation can be formed therein in accordance with the technical requirements for the solar module system.

[0011] A foundation recess can typically be understood to be an excavated area in the ground that is designated to accommodate the foundation of a building, or in this case, the foundation of a solar module system. The size and shape of the recess are typically tailored to the requirements placed on the foundation. For example, the size of the foundation increases with the size of the roof area of ​​the solar module canopy. Furthermore, for example, the size of a single foundation can decrease with the number of foundations formed for solar module canopies. Furthermore, for example, the foundation depth can be above the frost limit of the ground and / or tailored to the characteristics of the ground at the foundation formation site.

[0012] A further method step b) specifies the introduction of at least one pile profile into the ground below the foundation recess, preferably two or more pile profiles into just one foundation recess, which can further increase the strength of the foundation.

[0013] According to the invention, the pile profile is introduced into the ground through the already formed foundation recess. Furthermore, according to the invention, the pile profile is introduced into the ground in the foundation recess in such a way that the pile profile enters the foundation recess from the ground. In other words, the pile profile is not introduced completely into the ground, but rather the protruding part that is not introduced is located in the foundation recess. This allows a particularly secure and firm attachment of the pile profile into the foundation. This allows a strong bond to be generated between the foundation and the ground, which improves the structural safety and durability of the entire system.

[0014] At least one pile profile is typically driven into the ground using a pile mechanism, which allows the pile profile to be firmly fixed in the ground without prior recess formation by additional excavation from the ground.

[0015] In order to enable the pile profile to be introduced deep into the ground and into the foundation recess, the use of driving extensions may be specified. The driving extensions may be temporarily fixed to the pile profile to enable driving. This simplifies the manufacture of the foundation and allows the use of conventional pile mechanisms that are formed cost-effectively.

[0016] Pile profiles can be understood to be longitudinal elements, mostly made of metal, that are permanently driven into the ground to form and / or reinforce the foundation.

[0017] A further method step f) specifies at least partially filling the foundation recess with concrete, in other words, the foundation recess is filled with concrete, but not necessarily completely, which surrounds the pile profiles extending into the foundation recess and hardens to form a solid block that serves as a stable foundation for the solar module system.

[0018] Concrete can be understood according to the invention as a building material resulting from the hardening of a mixture of aggregate, water and a binder, in particular cement.

[0019] At least one pile profile preferably has a C-shaped cross-section. Particularly preferably, the pile profile is formed as a hat-shaped profile. Alternatively or additionally, pile profiles with other cross-sectional shapes can be used. However, it has been found that C-shaped or hat-shaped profiles are particularly suitable for relatively easy driving into the ground. Furthermore, such cross-sectional shapes have a large contact area with the concrete, which increases the holding force in the concrete block.

[0020] The length of the pile profiles can be adapted to the requirements placed on the foundation, i.e. the driving depth and thus the anchorage can be adapted particularly easily as required, which makes it possible to avoid the need to change the foundation recess, thereby reducing planning and implementation costs.

[0021] In summary, the present invention proposes a manufacturing method for a foundation, which, in addition to forming concrete blocks, also involves driving one or more pile profiles into the ground. The pile profiles are first independently fixed to the ground and then permanently connected to the concrete blocks after the manufacturing process is completed. The completed foundation thus comprises a combination of a concrete foundation and pile profiles. The use of at least one pile profile allows for deep anchoring of the foundation in the ground without the need for laboriously deep foundation recesses. Furthermore, the foundation's stability or resistance to loads is significantly increased. Furthermore, the concrete foundation can be manufactured using a relatively small amount of concrete, further reducing material costs and the cost of excavating the foundation recesses.

[0022] The manufacturing method of the present invention therefore allows for the creation of a strong, inexpensive foundation that can withstand static and dynamic loads from a solar module canopy, thus extending the life cycle and maintenance intervals of the solar module canopy.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the manufacturing method comprises a supplementary method step c), in which the lining of the foundation recess with a base fabric is specified. The base fabric is typically a foundation formwork that prevents concrete from flowing out of the foundation recess until the concrete has hardened or set. The base fabric is a particularly inexpensive and reliable form of lining of the foundation recess. The base fabric can be inexpensively manufactured and transported to the foundation manufacturing site. Furthermore, the base fabric is particularly flexibly adapted to structural requirements. For example, the base fabric can be cut or folded to fit the foundation recess.

[0024] The lining of the foundation recess can be carried out before or after the introduction of at least one pile profile.

[0025] The base fabric is preferably formed in one piece. Alternatively or additionally, the base fabric is preferably formed to completely line the base recess walls and / or the base recess bottom. Particularly preferably, the base fabric is formed in a bag-like shape and adapted to the shape of the base recess. The base fabric may be formed, for example, in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment, the manufacturing method includes a supplementary method step d) in which a reinforcing bar is placed in the foundation recess. The reinforcing bar is placed in the foundation recess, particularly as a reinforcing cage or in the form of multiple reinforcing cages. The reinforcing cage can be manufactured during the preparation for the manufacturing method, thereby reducing the processing time required for the manufacturing method at the foundation construction site. The placement or placement of the reinforcing bar in the foundation recess further increases the stability of the foundation. Furthermore, the use of reinforcing bars allows the foundation to particularly reliably absorb eccentric loads on the foundation. This allows the foundation to be flexibly adapted to structural givens and / or tolerances.

[0027] Preferably, the reinforcing bar is arranged around the protrusion of at least one pile profile that extends into the foundation recess. In other words, at least one pile profile may extend into a reinforcing bar that is arranged in the foundation recess. This allows for particularly high strength and bonding between the pile profile and the concrete, which acts favorably against the loads that the foundation can bear.

[0028] Another preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method specifies a supplementary method step e) of partially positioning at least one support post of the support system of the solar module canopy in the foundation recess. In other words, a part of the support system is placed in the foundation recess before the foundation is completed and then surrounded by concrete. This allows the support system to be fixed to the foundation in a way that allows it to withstand particularly high loads.

[0029] A mounting bracket may be used to position and / or properly orient the support post within the foundation recess.

[0030] The mounting bracket is adapted and configured to properly orient the support system, in particular the support post. The mounting bracket preferably has a bracket base for supporting or conducting a load. The bracket base is preferably configured to protrude above the foundation recess. In other words, the bracket base rests on the edge of the foundation recess.

[0031] The bracket base is preferably formed in the form of a U-shaped or rectangular frame, which makes it possible to keep the bracket base and thus the entire mounting bracket strong and lightweight.

[0032] The mounting bracket preferably has a holding device for holding the holding system, in particular the support post. The holding device is typically designed to hold the holding system in a preset position. The holding device serves to removably fix the holding system for assembly purposes and can then be detached from the holding system again. Typically, the holding device is designed to clamp the holding system or the support post.

[0033] Alternatively or additionally, the mounting bracket may have a height adjustment device configured for adjusting the distance between the holding device and the bracket base, which allows for particularly flexible adjustment of the mounting position of the holding system or support post and / or the holding position of the holding device on the support system or support post. The height adjustment device may have a threaded rod that allows for the overall adjustment of the height and / or inclination of the mounting bracket.

[0034] The use of mounting brackets allows the position of the holding system or support posts relative to the foundation to be adjusted. Any tolerances that may arise can be compensated for already during the construction of the foundation, so that further construction of the solar module canopy can be carried out without further adaptation measures that would otherwise be required. This facilitates and accelerates the assembly of the solar module canopy.

[0035] The mounting brackets shown in the drawings, as described above and below, are an independent aspect of the present invention and as such can exist separately from the manufacturing method, assembly method and described features of the solar module canopy.

[0036] In particular, the mounting bracket, which comprises a bracket base for positioning the mounting bracket on the edge of a recess in the soil, in particular a foundation recess, and a holding device for properly orienting the elongated profile structure, in particular a support post, is one unique inventive aspect, which can be combined with the rational features of the manufacturing method, assembly method and / or solar module canopy described above and below.

[0037] The problem underlying the present invention is further solved by an assembly method.

[0038] The assembly method is configured and suitable for producing a solar module canopy, in particular a solar module canopy to be produced having a holding system and at least two solar modules, preferably a solar module canopy with two or more solar modules as described above and below.

[0039] The assembly method comprises at least the following assembly steps: in assembly step a) of the assembly method, the formation of at least one base is specified. Typically, the assembly method specifies the formation of two or more, in particular multiple, bases. The bases are formed by the manufacturing methods for the bases described above and below.

[0040] A further assembly step b) of the assembly method specifies the assembly of the support system to the foundation. In other words, the support system is fixed to the foundation. The support system may be configured as a module. This allows for particularly rapid construction and thus inexpensive production of large-area canopies, for example, carport canopies. Further assembly steps may include the assembly or fastening of components already and later described, such as a push-in system, the support system.

[0041] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the assembly step, the holding system is fastened to the foundation by a manufacturing method already during the construction of the foundation, which results in a particularly load-bearing connection between the holding system and the foundation.

[0042] A further assembly step of the assembly steps specifies the assembly of the solar modules to the support system, which typically includes forming the roof surface of the solar module canopy, thereby eliminating the need for additional forming of the roof surface.

[0043] A preferred embodiment of the assembly method specifies the assembly of the solar modules by pushing them into a push-in system formed in the holding system, which allows for particularly fast and reliable fastening, and furthermore, the push-in system increases the stability of the solar module canopy.

[0044] The problem underlying the present invention is further solved by a solar module canopy.

[0045] The solar module canopy is suitable for forming an independent shelter, in particular a carport, in other words for forming interconnected canopies over a large area, and furthermore, the solar module canopy is particularly robust and particularly suitable for the independent construction of a shelter.

[0046] The solar module canopy has at least one base. Typically, the solar module canopy has two or more, in particular a number of, bases. At least one, in particular each, base is formed or produced by the manufacturing method described above and below. This allows the solar module canopy to be formed particularly robust and with high resistance.

[0047] The solar module canopy further comprises a support system arranged on at least one base. The support system serves to form a gap between the ground and the roof of the solar module canopy, thereby providing an area covered by the canopy for equipment, personnel, and / or vehicles to locate underneath. Typically, the gap between the roof and the ground is greater than 2 m, preferably greater than 3 m, and particularly preferably greater than 4 m. The support system preferably forms a support frame for the solar modules.

[0048] The solar module canopy includes at least two solar modules, and typically includes more than two, particularly multiple, solar modules, which are indirectly and / or directly secured to the support system.

[0049] Solar modules can be understood to mean photovoltaic modules and / or collector modules, or solar thermal modules, as described above and below. The size and / or power specifications of the solar modules can vary.

[0050] At least two solar modules form at least part of the roof of the solar module canopy, in other words the solar modules have a dual function: on the one hand they generate electricity and / or heat and on the other hand they ensure a weather-protected accommodation area.

[0051] In one preferred embodiment of the solar module canopy, the support system includes at least one vertical support post, a transverse beam, and at least two longitudinal beams fixed to the transverse beam for positioning the solar modules. The support posts are fixed to the foundation at a first post end and to the transverse beam at a second post end or free post end. The components of the support system are fixed to each other in a substantially vertical direction and form a support frame for the solar modules spaced apart from the ground. This allows the assembly of the solar module canopy in a modular or module-oriented manner, which significantly reduces assembly time.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the solar module canopy, the roof is configured as a butterfly roof or a sheath roof. Both roof types have a particularly favorable ratio between the under-roof area and the required number of support posts. This allows a large roof area for generating electricity or heat and a weather-protected under-roof area to be provided with only a few support posts. Furthermore, such roof types allow for liquid drainage via a central drain, which further reduces costs.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of the solar module canopy, the holding system comprises a pressing system fixed to the longitudinal beams. The pressing system is configured for positioning the solar modules on the support structure by pressing them into the pressing system. Pressing the solar modules into the pressing system can ensure a particularly fast and reliable positioning of the solar modules in the holding system. Furthermore, the pressing system can improve the sealing of the roof surface or reduce the amount of water that penetrates between the solar modules. This allows the under-roof area to be configured with better weather protection.

[0054] In a further preferred embodiment of the solar module canopy, the pushing system comprises at least two pushing sections arranged parallel to one another. The pushing sections may be formed as extruded sections. Preferably, the pushing sections are hollow, which allows for a reduction in material, weight and costs.

[0055] Typically, the pushing system has a plurality, particularly a large number of pushing profiles, which allows for the pushing or placement of a large number of solar modules, thereby increasing the roof area of ​​the solar module canopy and increasing the utilization rate of the solar module canopy.

[0056] Each of the extruded profiles has at least one guide section for guiding the solar module. The guide section typically forms a holding frame for holding the solar module. In other words, the guide section surrounds the solar module on at least two sides located opposite each other. Furthermore, the guide section preferably overlaps the edge area of ​​the solar module that is not used by the solar module for generating electricity and / or heat. This allows for particularly secure holding and further improves the sealing against liquids.

[0057] In a particularly preferred development of the solar module canopy, at least two opposite guide sections of two adjacent push-in sections arranged next to each other have a cross-sectional shape that is substantially U-shaped. In other words, two adjacent push-in sections with guide sections form a push-in section that surrounds the installed solar modules on the front and rear sides. This further improves the holding of the solar modules.

[0058] In a further preferred development of the solar module canopy, the push-in profile has a drainage section formed below the guide section for draining liquid. In other words, the drainage section is formed vertically below the guide section in the positioned state of the push-in profile. The drainage section is typically adjacent to the guide section. The drainage section is formed substantially in the shape of a channel. In other words, the drainage section is only open upwards.

[0059] In another preferred development of the solar module canopy, at least two solar modules are respectively arranged one after the other between the push-in profiles in the guide sections of the push-in profiles. According to this development, sealing profiles are arranged between the solar modules, and the sealing profiles form collection sections for collecting and discharging seepage water. The collection section opens into the drainage section of at least one of the push-in profiles. Preferably, a sealing profile designed to collect seepage water is arranged between two push-in profiles between all solar modules pushed in one after the other.

[0060] The sealing profile preferably has a head section that is designed for mounting the solar modules on the front side or on the side opposite the under-roof area, and preferably has a sealing contact with the solar modules, thereby preventing liquid from penetrating between the solar modules.

[0061] The sealing profile preferably has a neck section arranged between the solar modules. The neck section may be configured as a spacer between the solar modules. Typically, the neck section is in sealing contact with the adjacent solar modules. The neck section may have one or more sealing lamellas that prevent further penetration of liquid. This prevents liquid from penetrating between the solar modules.

[0062] The sealing profile particularly preferably has a collection section, which is typically designed to contact the underside of the solar module. The collection section collects the penetrating liquid and prevents it from dripping into the under-roof area. The collection section is typically designed to drain the liquid into a corresponding drainage area.

[0063] The sealing profile is preferably made in one piece, and is particularly preferably made from a particularly UV-resistant elastomer, which ensures a particularly long-term sealing effect.

[0064] As the size of solar module canopies increases, there is a need to drain large amounts of liquid from the solar module canopy, especially from rainwater. Particularly in the areas of the solar module fasteners and at the contact points between the solar modules, significant water seepage occurs that reaches the under-roof area of ​​the solar module canopy. Water seeping into the canopy can cause water damage to items and vehicles underneath, and it is desirable to prevent this from happening.

[0065] The use of the sealing profiles described above and below and / or the use of the pushing systems described above and below meets the demands placed on the canopy as a weather-protected shelter for goods, people and / or vehicles located below by an extended use, whereby the described sealing profiles and / or pushing systems meet the demands regarding extended protection.

[0066] The pushing system shown in the drawings, as described above and below, is an independent aspect of the present invention and as such can exist separately from the manufacturing method, assembly method and described features of the solar module canopy.

[0067] In particular, a push-in system for positioning solar modules, which has at least two push-in profiles arranged parallel to one another, the push-in profiles each having at least one guide section on their sides facing each other, is a specific inventive aspect. This inventive aspect can be combined with the rational features of the manufacturing method, the assembly method, the sealing profiles and / or the solar module canopy described above and below. Particularly preferably, the push-in system has the sealing profiles described above and below.

[0068] The sealing profile shown in the drawings, as described above and below, is an independent aspect of the invention and as such can exist separately from the described features of the manufacturing method, assembly method and solar module canopy.

[0069] In particular, a seal profile for placement between two solar modules, comprising a head section configured for sealing contact with the upper side of the solar modules, a neck section configured for sealing placement between the solar modules, and a collection section configured for collecting seepage water below the solar modules, is one unique inventive aspect. This inventive aspect can be combined with the rational features of the manufacturing method, assembly method, pushing system and / or solar module canopy described above and below. Particularly preferably, the seal profile is configured for use in the pushing system described above and below.

[0070] Further advantages of the present invention are disclosed in the description, claims and drawings. Likewise, the features already mentioned and further described below can be used according to the present invention individually on their own or in any reasonable combination in combination. The illustrated and described embodiments should not be understood as a definitive list, but have exemplary properties for describing the present invention. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0072] A manufacturing method 10 is shown generally in FIG.

[0073] The manufacturing method 10 is suitable and configured for creating a foundation 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 8). In particular, the manufacturing method 10 is suitable and configured for creating and forming a foundation 12 for a solar module canopy 14 (see FIGS. 3 and 10-12).

[0074] Typically, the manufacturing method 10 is suitable for and forms a plurality, particularly a large number, of foundations 12. In particular, the manufacturing method 10 is suitable for forming foundations 12 for large area solar module canopies 14, such as solar roads and / or carports.

[0075] The manufacturing method 10 comprises at least the following method steps: a first method step 16 of the manufacturing method 10 specifies the formation of a foundation recess 18 (see Figures 4 to 8) in the ground 20 (see Figures 3 to 8) of the solar module canopy 14.

[0076] Forming the foundation recess 18 can involve the removal or excavation of excavation material 22, e.g., soil, gravel, and / or stone. It should be understood that the list is not all-inclusive. Additionally, forming the foundation recess 18 can involve the demolition of existing surface anchorages 24 (FIGS. 4-8), e.g., concrete- and / or asphalt-mounted surfaces.

[0077] The creation of the foundation recess 18 is typically performed by commonly known tools, such as, but not limited to, cutting tools and / or excavation tools and / or machines.

[0078] The foundation dimensions, in particular the foundation depth 26 (see FIG. 4), the foundation width 28 (see FIG. 4), and / or the foundation length 30 (see FIG. 4), are preferably adapted to the solar module canopy 14 to be installed. In particular, the foundation dimensions are adapted or adjusted to the loads that are expected to be exerted on the foundation 12 by the installed solar module canopy 14.

[0079] A further method step 32 of the manufacturing method 10 specifies the introduction of at least one pile profile 34 (see Figures 3, 5 to 8) into the ground 20. Typically, it specifies the introduction of at least two pile profiles 34 into the ground 20. According to the invention, the at least one pile profile 34 is introduced into the ground 20 via the created foundation recess 18.

[0080] The pile profile 34 is typically introduced until a pile driving depth 36 (see Figures 3 and 5) is reached. The pile driving depth 36 is usually measured between the foundation recess 18 and the part of the pile profile 34 that is located furthest from the foundation recess 18. The pile driving depth 36 can be greater than the foundation depth 26. In special configurations, the pile driving depth 36 may be at least twice, in particular at least three times, the foundation depth 26.

[0081] The pile driving depth 36 is, according to the invention, shorter than the pile profile length 38 (see FIG. 5) of the pile profile 34. In other words, the pile profile 34 is not introduced completely into or underground in the ground 20. The pile profile 34 has a protruding portion 40 (see FIG. 5) which penetrates into the foundation recess 18. This makes it possible to ensure the fixation of the pile profile 34 in the remaining foundation 12.

[0082] Typically, the introduction or pile driving of the pile profile 34 is carried out using a suitable machine (not shown). For pile driving of the pile profile 34, the use of a pile driving extension 42 (see FIG. 5) may be specified. The pile driving extension 42 is typically an extension of the pile profile 34 and is removably fixed to the pile profile 34. After driving is complete, the pile driving extension 42 can be detached from the pile profile 34 and provided for further use. The use of the pile driving extension 42 allows the use of regular pile driving equipment (not shown), thereby saving costs.

[0083] The introduction of the pile profiles 34 can be performed perpendicular to the surface fixing bodies 24. This simplifies pile driving. Furthermore, it may be specified to introduce one or more pile profiles 34 at an angle to the surface fixing bodies 24. This makes it possible to optimize the foundation strength for the loads generated by the solar module canopy 14. Furthermore, at least one pile profile 34 can be introduced into the ground 20 through the foundation recess bottom 44 or through the foundation recess wall 46. This makes it possible to keep the construction of the foundation 12 particularly flexible.

[0084] A further method step 48 of the manufacturing method 10 specifies at least partially filling the foundation recess 18 with concrete 50 (see FIGS. 3, 8). Typically, the filling of the foundation recess 18 occurs during the introduction of the pile profiles 34. More typically, the foundation recess 18 is filled with liquid concrete 50, which then hardens to form a solid structure. After the concrete 50 has hardened or set, the foundation 12 has been created and can be used, for example, to fasten the solar module canopy 14.

[0085] Possible method step 52 of manufacturing method 10 involves the installation or attachment of a foundation formwork 54 (see FIG. 4). The foundation formwork 54 prevents the concrete 50 from flowing out when filling the foundation recess 18, thereby minimizing the amount of concrete 50 required. The attachment of the foundation formwork 54 typically occurs after the foundation recess 18 has been formed or excavated. The foundation formwork 54 can be formed, for example, by formwork plates (not shown). Preferably, the formation of the foundation formwork 54 is achieved by lining the foundation recess 18 with a foundation fabric 56 (see FIG. 4).

[0086] A further possible method step 58 of the manufacturing method 10 identifies the placement of reinforcing bars 60 in the foundation recess 18. In particular, the reinforcing bars 60 can be formed and placed as at least one reinforcing cage 62 (see Figures 6 and 7). The placement of the reinforcing bars 60 can significantly increase the strength of the foundation 12 and allow for eccentric fixing of the solar module canopy 14 in the foundation 12, thereby allowing for construction tolerances to be taken into account.

[0087] Typically, placement of the reinforcing bars 60 occurs after the complete formation of the foundation recess 18. More preferably, placement of the reinforcing bars 60 occurs after the optional installation of the foundation formwork 54 in the foundation recess 18.

[0088] More preferably, the placement of the reinforcing bar 60 takes place after the introduction of the at least one pile profile 34. It is particularly preferred that the at least one pile profile 34 penetrates into the reinforcing bar 60. This allows a particularly high strength of the foundation 12 to be achieved.

[0089] In a special configuration, the manufacturing method 10 comprises a possible method step 64 in which partial positioning of at least one support post 66 (see Figures 3, 7, 8, 11) takes place in the foundation recess 18 by means of a retention system 68 (see Figures 3, 7, 8, 10, 11) of the solar module canopy 14. The positioning typically takes place before filling the foundation recess 18 with concrete 50. In other words, the support post 66 is positioned in the foundation recess 18 before filling it and is then surrounded by the concrete 50 used to fill the foundation recess 18. This makes it possible to achieve a particularly strong fixation of the retention system 68 in the foundation recess 18 after the concrete 50 has solidified.

[0090] It can be specified that the mounting brackets 70 (FIGS. 7, 9) described above and below are used to position the support post 66 within the foundation recess 18. This ensures that the support post 66 is fixed in a predetermined position and in the correct orientation within the foundation recess 18 until the concrete 50 hardens.

[0091] FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an assembly method 72 according to the present invention.

[0092] The assembly method 72 is suitable for and configured to create a solar module canopy 14 (FIGS. 3, 10-12). The solar module canopy 14 typically includes at least one foundation 12 (FIGS. 3, 8), one support system 68 (FIGS. 3, 10, 11), and at least two solar modules 74 (FIGS. 3, 10, 13-15).

[0093] In particular, the assembly method 72 is suitable for creating and forming large area solar module canopies 14, such as solar roads and / or carports.

[0094] The assembly method 72 comprises at least the following assembly steps: a first assembly step 76 of the assembly method 72 specifies the formation of at least one foundation 12. According to the invention, the foundation 12 is produced by the manufacturing method 10 (see FIG. 1) described above and below, which allows a particularly cost-effective and at the same time highly strong foundation 12 to be prepared.

[0095] Typically, multiple bases 12 are identified for fabrication by the manufacturing method 10 described above and below, thereby allowing the assembly method 72 to be scaled up to large solar module canopies 14.

[0096] A further assembly step 78 of the assembly method 72 specifies the assembly of the support system 68 on the foundations 12. The assembly of the support system 68 is typically performed by fastening at least one support post 66 (FIGS. 3, 7, 8, 11) to at least one foundation 12. It may also specify the fastening of multiple support posts 66 to multiple, particularly positionally spaced apart, foundations 12. The fastening may be performed, for example, by a screw connection of one or more support posts 66 to the respective foundations 12.

[0097] Preferably, the fixing of the support post 66 in the foundation 12 is achieved by positioning the support post 66 during the construction of the foundation 12. It may be specified that the support post 66 is then placed in the foundation recess 18 prepared for forming the foundation 12, and then concrete 50 is poured in. This allows the support post 66 to be fixed particularly reliably.

[0098] Typically, assembly of the retention system 68 further specifies securing other components of the retention system 68 to the support post 66. In other words, the assembly method 72 may involve assembly of the retention system 68 itself.

[0099] A further assembly step 80 of the assembly method 72 specifies the assembly of the solar modules 74 in the holding system 68. The assembly of the solar modules 74 in the holding system 68 can be done directly and / or indirectly. For example, the solar modules 74 can be secured to the holding system 68 using holding clamps.

[0100] Typically, the assembly method 72 specifies assembling multiple solar modules 74 to form a large area canopy.

[0101] In a preferred configuration of the assembly method 72, the solar modules 74 are assembled by being pressed into a pressing system 82 (see FIGS. 3, 10-15) formed or disposed in the holding system 68.

[0102] A solar module canopy 14 is shown in FIG.

[0103] The solar module canopy 14 is particularly suited for forming a freestanding storage area, a carport, in other words, the roof 84 of the solar module canopy 14 is positioned relative to the ground 20 at a canopy spacing 86, which allows for the placement and / or parking of items (not shown), vehicles (not shown), and / or people (not shown) thereunder.

[0104] As shown, the solar module canopy 14 has a plurality of, here three, foundations 12. The foundations 12 are produced by the manufacturing method 10 for producing the foundations 12. In other words, each foundation 12 has at least one pile shape 34, here two pile shapes 34, which are individually introduced vertically into the ground 20 from the space occupied by the concrete 50. In other words, the concrete-cast portion of the foundation 12 is relieved of load by the anchoring action of the pile shapes 34. This allows the load-bearing capacity of the foundation 12 to be kept high and / or the material consumption of the concrete 50 to be reduced.

[0105] As shown, the bases 12 may be formed in a line and spaced evenly from one another, which may facilitate assembly of the solar module canopy 14 and reduce costs due to a larger proportion of system components.

[0106] In the illustrated embodiment of the solar module canopy 14, the support system 68 is secured to the foundation 12 using a plurality of vertically arranged support posts 66. This allows the load to be distributed across multiple foundations 12 and allows the solar module canopy 14 to be sized as needed. For clarity of illustration, only one support post 66 is labeled with a reference number.

[0107] As shown, the support system 68 further includes a plurality of lateral beams 88, here three, although only two of these lateral beams 88 are visible in Figure 3. The lateral beams 88 are fixed to free ends 90 of the respective support posts 66. For reasons of clarity, only one free end 90 of the support post 66 is labeled with a reference number. The lateral beams 88 extend perpendicular to the rows of the foundations 12 when the solar module canopy 14 is viewed vertically from above. This allows for the creation of a large-area canopy using only a few support posts 66, thereby increasing the area available for parking under the roof 84.

[0108] The holding system 68, according to the illustration in Figure 3, comprises a plurality of longitudinal beams 92, here six, which are fixed to the transverse beams 88 perpendicularly to them. For reasons of clarity of the drawing, only one longitudinal beam 92 is referenced. The longitudinal beams 92 allow for indirect and / or direct positioning of the solar modules 74 on the holding structure 68.

[0109] As shown, the solar module 74 is positioned or secured to the holding system 68 using a push-in system 82, described above and below. The push-in system 82 is secured to a longitudinal beam 92 of the holding system 68 and is configured to position the solar module 74 in the holding system 68 by pushing the solar module 74 into the push-in system 82.

[0110] The pushing system 82 has at least two pusher profiles 94 arranged parallel to one another for positioning the solar modules. As shown, the pushing system 82 has a large number of pusher profiles 94, with each two adjacent pusher profiles 94 being designed to push in one or more solar modules 74 arranged one after the other. For reasons of clarity of the drawing, only two pusher profiles 94 are designated by reference numerals.

[0111] The roof 84 can be formed by forcing the solar modules 74 between the forcing sections 94. As shown, the roof 84 is entirely formed by the solar modules 74 after all of the solar modules 74 have been forced.

[0112] According to the illustrated embodiment, the solar module canopy 14 has a roof 84 configured as a butterfly roof, which allows for a single central drain 96 to be provided in the middle of the roof 84 for drainage.

[0113] FIG. 4 shows a first manufacturing state of the foundation 12 (FIGS. 3, 8) with a foundation recess 18 formed in the ground 20.

[0114] As shown, the foundation recess 18 is substantially rectangular in shape, which allows the cost of excavating the foundation recess 18 to be kept low.

[0115] Furthermore, as shown, the foundation recess 18 is lined with a foundation formwork 54. The foundation formwork 54 is configured as a foundation fabric 56. The foundation fabric 56 can be particularly advantageously unfolded from a folded state within the foundation recess 18. This avoids the need to form an expensive foundation formwork 54 made of concrete. Furthermore, the foundation fabric 56 has a low weight, so that it can be conveniently and quickly delivered to the manufacturing site of the foundation 12.

[0116] The foundation formwork 54, in particular the foundation fabric 56, may have one or more, here two, profile openings 100. The profile openings 100 can serve to more easily guide the pile profiles 34 (FIGS. 3, 5-8) through. This further prevents the foundation fabric 56 from shifting or wrinkling when the pile profiles 34 are introduced into the ground 20.

[0117] FIG. 5 shows a second manufacturing state of the foundation 12 (see FIGS. 3, 8) with pile profiles 34 penetrating into the foundation recess 18.

[0118] In other words, Figure 5 shows a manufacturing state 102 with the pile profile 34 introduced into the ground 20. The pile profile 34 has been introduced into the ground 20 through the profile opening 100 (see Figure 4) in the base fabric 56 as shown, to the pile driving depth 36, with the protrusion 40 extending into the base recess 18.

[0119] As shown, a pile driving extension 42 is disposed on the pile profile 34 .

[0120] The pile profile 34 may have a U-shaped or C-shaped cross-sectional shape. As shown, the pile profile 34 is formed as a hat-shaped profile, which can facilitate the introduction or pouring of the pile profile 34 and its embedding in the concrete 50.

[0121] FIG. 6 shows a third manufacturing state 104 of the foundation 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 8) with the reinforcing bars 60 or reinforcing cages 62 disposed within the foundation recess 18.

[0122] As shown, both pile shapes 34 extend into the foundation recess 18 and into the reinforcing bars 60. In other words, the reinforcing bars 60 surround the sections of the pile shapes 34 that should be surrounded by the concrete 50. This further increases the strength of the foundation 12.

[0123] FIG. 7 shows a fourth manufacturing state 106 of the foundation 12 (see FIGS. 3, 8) with the support posts 66 of the retention system 68 positioned within the foundation recesses 18.

[0124] 7 illustrates the fabrication of foundation 12 in which a portion of retention system 68, here support post 66, is permanently secured to foundation 12. Typically, support post 66 is buried when foundation recess 18 is filled with concrete.

[0125] As shown, it may be specified that the mounting bracket 70 described above and below is used to secure the support post 66 in the foundation recess 18. Typically, the mounting bracket 70 is configured for support on the ground 20 or on a surface anchor 24 adjacent to the foundation recess 18, and extends beyond the foundation recess 18 in at least one direction of extension. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 70 is typically configured for holding and properly orienting the support post 66 in a preset position. In a preferred embodiment, the mounting bracket 70 is configured to position the support post 66 in a floating state within the foundation recess 18 until the concrete 50 (see FIGS. 3 and 8) hardens. This allows for particularly accurate positioning of the support post 66, and thus the retention system 68.

[0126] FIG. 8 shows a fifth manufacturing stage 108 of the foundation 12 (see FIGS. 3 and 8) with the foundation recess 18 filled with concrete 50.

[0127] In other words, Figure 8 shows the foundation 12 formed by the manufacturing method 10. The foundation recess 18 is filled with concrete 50 substantially up to the surface anchors 24 as shown. The concrete 50 secures the pile profiles 34, support posts 66, and optional reinforcing bars 60 (see Figures 6 and 7) in proper orientation relative to one another.

[0128] As shown, it may be specified that resurfacing 110 of the surfacer 24 is to be performed. Typically, the resurfacing 110 is performed in a method step following the filling and curing of the concrete 50, thereby repairing damage to the surfacer 24 caused by shaking of the concrete 50.

[0129] FIG. 9 shows the mounting bracket 70 in perspective view.

[0130] The mounting bracket 70 is adapted and configured to properly orient the support post 66 (see FIGS. 3, 7, 8, 11) within the foundation recess 18 (see FIGS. 4-8).

[0131] The mounting bracket 70 may have a bracket base 112 for supporting the mounting bracket 70 on the ground 20 (see FIGS. 3-8) beside the foundation recess 18. The bracket base 112 is preferably at least U-shaped, and particularly rectangular.

[0132] The mounting bracket 70 may further include a retaining device 114 for holding the support post 66 (see FIGS. 3, 7, 8, and 11) in a predetermined orientation relative to the foundation recess 18. The retaining device 114 is preferably configured to clamp and hold the support post 66.

[0133] The mounting bracket 70 may further include a height adjustment device 116 configured to adjust the spacing between the retainer 114 and the bracket base 112. As shown, adjustment of the height adjustment device 116 may be achieved by a threaded rod 118. For reasons of clarity, only one threaded rod 118 is labeled with a reference number.

[0134] The height adjustment device 116 may have two adjustment profiles 120 arranged at a distance from each other, and both adjustment profiles 120 are respectively arranged on the bracket base 112 via two threaded rods 118. This allows the inclination of the holding device 114 relative to the bracket base 112 to be adjusted. This allows compensation for the inclination of the ground 20 and thus allows a vertical arrangement of the support post 66 in a light hanging state.

[0135] FIG. 10 shows a portion of the solar module canopy 14 shown in FIG. 3 with a push-in system 82 disposed on the retention system 68.

[0136] The push-in system 82 comprises a number of push-in sections 94, which are fixed to the holding system 68, as shown, parallel to one another and equally spaced apart. On the side facing the adjacent push-in section 94, each push-in section 94 has at least one guide section 122 for positioning a solar module 74. For reasons of clarity in the drawing, only two guide sections 122 are numbered.

[0137] In other words, two adjacent push-in sections 94 each having a guide section 122 facing each other form a holding frame 124 into which at least one solar module 74 can be pushed along the guide section 122.

[0138] The guide section 122 may have a cross-sectional shape that is substantially U-shaped, which allows for particularly reliable guidance when pushing along the guide section 122. Furthermore, movements perpendicular to the pushing direction can be effectively prevented, which simplifies the fixing of the solar module 74.

[0139] As shown, the pushing system 82 of the solar module canopy 14 may be specified such that two solar modules 74 are arranged one behind the other within the guide sections 122 of two adjacent pushing profiles 94. Preferably, the pushing system 82 includes a sealing profile 126 arranged between the solar modules 74.

[0140] FIG. 11 shows another portion of the solar module canopy 14 shown in FIG.

[0141] The push-in profiles 94 of the push-in system 82 may have drainage sections 128 formed below the guide sections 122 for draining liquids, in particular rainwater. The drainage sections 128 are preferably formed substantially in the shape of a channel, and drainage occurs along the profile extension direction 130 of the respective push-in profile 94. For reasons of clarity in the drawing, only one guide section 122, one drainage section 128 and one profile extension direction 130 are designated by reference numerals.

[0142] The push-in profile 94 preferably has a slope that ensures controlled drainage of liquid in a predetermined direction via a drainage section 128. Typically, the drainage section 128 of the push-in profile 94 opens into a main drain 132 of the retention system 68 or the solar module canopy 14. The main drain 132 may be attached to a downpipe 134. This allows for controlled drainage of liquid, particularly rainwater, that falls on the roof 84 (see FIG. 3 ) of the solar module canopy 14.

[0143] FIG. 12 shows in detail the drainage section 128 of the inset section 94 shown in FIG. 11 which opens into the main drainage channel 132 of the solar module canopy 14 .

[0144] Liquid leaking past the solar modules 74 (see Figures 3, 10, 13-15) can be contained via the drainage sections 128 and discharged in the profile extension direction 130. The liquid is first passed from each drainage section 128 along drainage channels 136, for example, into a main drain 132, from which it is discharged via a downcomer 134.

[0145] FIG. 13 shows a portion of the pushing system 82 of the solar module canopy 14 shown in FIG. 10 with the seal profile 126 positioned on the pushing profile 94.

[0146] As shown, the sealing profile 126 may define a collection section 138 for containing and discharging seepage water. Preferably, the collection section 138 opens into the drainage section 128 of the indentation profile 94. Discharge of the seepage water may be achieved by an illustrated drainage channel 140, which allows the seepage water to flow into the drainage section 128 and then be discharged along the profile extension direction 130.

[0147] FIG. 14 shows a cross-section of a portion of the forcing system 82 shown in FIG. 10 with the seal profiles 126 positioned between the solar modules 74.

[0148] The seal profile 126 has a head section 142 for contacting the top side of the solar module 74. The head section 142 reduces the infiltration of seepage water between the solar modules 74.

[0149] Additionally, the seal profile 126 has a neck section 144 that is positioned between the solar modules 74. The neck section 144 may have one or more seal lamellas 146 that contact adjacent solar modules 74 with the seal profile 126 positioned between them, thereby further reducing the ingress of seepage water.

[0150] The seal profile 126 may further include a collection section 138. The collection section 138 is preferably in contact with the underside of an adjacent solar module 74 when positioned. In particular, if there is an angular misalignment between solar modules 74 positioned in contact with one another, a leakage gap that allows seepage water to penetrate may occur in the head section 142 and the neck section 144. The seepage water that penetrates can be collected and discharged via the collection section 138. In this way, it is possible to reliably prevent seepage water from dripping onto the covered area below the solar module canopy 14.

[0151] FIG. 15 shows a cross section of a portion of the pushing system 82 at the end section of a pushing profile 94 .

[0152] The pushing system 82 has clamping blocks 148 that are arranged inside the guide sections 122 to secure the solar modules 74. Typically, the clamping blocks 148 are inserted into the respective guide sections 122 and brought into contact with the solar modules 74. A profile end piece 150 can then be placed on the pushed-in profile 94, in particular by means of a screw connection.

[0153] Typically, clamping blocks 148 and / or profile end pieces 150 are arranged at both profile ends of the pushed-in profile 94. This allows for a particularly secure fixation of the solar module 74.

[0154] The clamping block 148 may have an assembly nipple 152 which allows for particularly easy assembly of the clamping block 148. The assembly nipple 152 serves to hold the clamping block 148 during installation of the profile end piece 150. The assembly nipple 152 typically extends through an opening in the profile end piece 150 and can be grasped with a tool or by hand, and can hold its position on the solar module 74 until the profile end piece 150 is fixed.
