20150068587 | Solar Power Panels, Arrays and Connection Systems - An integrated and enclosed solar photovoltaic power producing panels and method of producing alternating current electrical power that combines and integrates all electrical and electronic elements within a non-metallic and dual-insulated enclosure arrangement within which the DC output of each of these solar modules is converted to AC. The AC may be distributed within the dual insulated enclosure and subsequently between panels in an array. The panels may be comprised of a unitary non-metallic insulating housing that extends the length and width of the panel. This housing may enclose the DC circuitry, the inverter, a suitable alternating bus array for transferring the AC power within the module and contact means for interconnecting the AC output between multiple modules. Each of the AC interconnect components can optionally be connected into an array, whereby the output is coupled, and ultimately delivered to a terminal junction box. This AC interconnect component is configured such that it sustains the dual insulation feature. This dual insulated power producing apparatus can optionally be configured with a framing system that is easily installed and can be directly mounted to a roof surface with non-metallic brackets and railing structures that further contributes to the safety features of the installation, by providing a system that is electrically insulated, less prone to a lightning strike or to a fire hazard in the case of contact by a downed power line. | 03-12-2015 |
