Highly Efficient Solar Arrays

US Patent:
20120204935, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Aug 10, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/207164
Inventors:
Dallas W. Meyer - Prior Lake MN, US
Lowell J. Berg - Eden Prairie MN, US
Lance E. Stover - Eden Prairie MN, US
Orville D. Dodd - Minneapolis MN, US
Thomas L. Murnan - Bloomington MN, US
Assignee:
tenKsolar - Bloomington MN
International Classification:
H01L 31/052
H01L 31/0203
H01L 31/05
H01L 31/0232
US Classification:
136246, 136259
Abstract:
In an example, a solar energy system includes multiple PV modules, multiple reflectors, and a racking assembly. Each of the reflectors is positioned opposite a corresponding one of the PV modules. The racking assembly mechanically interconnects the PV modules and the reflectors to form an interconnected system. The racking assembly defines gaps within the racking assembly and between adjacent PV modules and reflectors. The interconnected system includes multiple contact points associated with the gaps. The gaps and contact points configure the interconnected system to accommodate surface unevenness of an installation surface up to a predetermined surface unevenness.

US Patent:
20130312812, Nov 28, 2013
Filed:
Aug 1, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/957227
Inventors:
Lowell J. Berg - Eden Prairie MN, US
Kurt Korkowski - Carver MN, US
Lance E. Stover - Eden Prairie MN, US
Thomas L. Murnan - Bloomington MN, US
Orville Dodd - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
Tenksolar, Inc - Minneaplois MN
International Classification:
H01L 31/042
US Classification:
136246, 136244, 136251
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a solar energy system includes multiple photovoltaic modules, each oriented substantially at a same angle relative to horizontal. The angle is independent of a latitude of an installation site of the solar energy system and is greater than or equal to 15 degrees. The solar energy system defines a continuous area within a perimeter of the solar energy system. The solar energy system is configured to capture at the photovoltaic modules substantially all light incoming towards the continuous area over an entire season.

US Patent:
20100212720, Aug 26, 2010
Filed:
Feb 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/711040
Inventors:
Dallas W. Meyer - Prior Lake MN, US
Lowell J. Berg - Eden Prarie MN, US
Thomas L. Murnan - Bloomington MN, US
Orville D. Dodd - Minneapolis MN, US
Assignee:
TENKSOLAR, INC. - Bloomington MN
International Classification:
H01L 31/052
H01L 31/042
G02B 5/124
US Classification:
136246, 136244, 359855
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a solar energy system includes a plurality of module rows and a plurality of reflector rows. Each module row includes a plurality of PV modules. Each PV module includes a plurality of PV cells arranged in a plurality of cell rows, the PV cells in each cell row being electrically connected in parallel to each other, and the plurality of cell rows being electrically connected in series to each other. Each reflector row includes a plurality of reflectors. The reflector rows are interposed between the module rows such that each reflector row is mechanically interconnected between two adjacent module rows and is arranged to reflect light having some incident angles on to one of the two adjacent module rows.
