Support System for Solar Energy Generator Panels
A support system for a solar panel comprises a plurality of legs configured to receive multiple solar panels. The legs each comprise a base, a plurality of shafts, and a support precipice. The support precipice is divided into two sides by a t-bar. The first side comprises a guiding wing to effectuate modular assembly of the support system. The second side comprises a beveled edge to effectuate secure coupling of a solar panel. The system is able to be assembled and disassembled without the use of tools or implements. The system is also movable.
1 . A leg for supporting a solar panel, comprising
a. a base;
b. a plurality of support shafts coupled to the base; and
c. a support precipice, comprising a first side and a second side, coupled to the support shafts.
2 . The leg of claim 1 further comprising a t-bar coupled to the support precipice for separating the first and second sides of the support precipice.
3 . The leg of claim 2 wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are coupled by any one of spot welds, bolts, and a combination thereof.
4 . The leg of claim 1 wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are integrally formed as an extrudate.
5 . The leg of claim 1 wherein the first side of the support precipice further comprises a guiding wing for guiding solar panels during assembly.
6 . The leg of claim 5 wherein the guiding wing protrudes outward from the support precipice at an angle relative to a plane defined by one of the support precipice, base, and a combination thereof.
7 . The leg of claim 2 wherein the t-bar comprises an angled base for effectuating simple assembly.
8 . The leg of claim 2 wherein the t-bar is bilaterally symmetrical.
9 . The leg of claim 2 wherein the t-bar comprises lips to effectuate secure coupling of solar panels thereto.
10 . A system for supporting solar cells comprising a plurality of legs, wherein the legs each have a first and a second receptacle, wherein the first and second receptacles are each configured to receive the perimeter of a solar panel.
11 . The system of claim 10 wherein the first receptacle comprises a guiding wing to effectuate modular assembly.
12 . The system of claim 10 wherein the legs are configured such that the solar panel is substantially flat when supported by the legs.
13 . A leg for supporting a solar panel comprising:
a. a base;
b. a plurality of support shafts coupled to the base;
c. a support precipice comprising a first receptacle and a second receptacle; and
d. a t-bar coupled to the support receptacle for separating the first receptacle and the second receptacle.
14 . The leg of claim 13 wherein at least one of the first receptacle and the second receptacle comprise a guiding wing for effectuating modular assembly.
15 . The leg of claim 13 wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are coupled by any one of spot welds, bolts, and a combination thereof
16 . The leg of claim 13 wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are integrally formed as an extrudate.
17 . The leg of claim 13 wherein the first receptacle further comprises a guiding wing for guiding solar panels during assembly.
18 . The leg of claim 17 wherein the guiding wing protrudes outward from the support precipice at an angle relative to a plane defined by one of the support precipice, base, and a combination thereof.
19 . The leg of claim 13 wherein the t-bar comprises an angled base for effectuating simple assembly.
20 . The leg of claim 13 wherein the t-bar is bilaterally symmetrical.
