Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
Kevin Fischer - Orinda CA, US
Matthew Danning - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
SUNPOWER CORPORATION - San Jose CA
International Classification:
H01L 31/048
F16L 3/12
US Classification:
136251, 248 742
Abstract:
A wire management device is disclosed. The device comprises a clip comprising an upper planar member and a lower planar member, each planar member having an inner and outer surface, wherein the inner surface of the upper planar member includes a post extending toward the inner surface of the lower planar member, a stem extending from the outer surface of the lower planar member, the stem including two outwardly-extending flanges, each of the first and second outwardly-extending flanges including an edge portion extending toward the outer surface of the lower planar member, and a transverse passage extending along the outer surface of the lower planar member, the transverse passage extending across the stem, wherein the stem has a recessed portion along the transverse passage.

Snap-In And Progressive Locking Photovoltaic Module

View page
US Patent:
8567134, Oct 29, 2013
Filed:
Jun 29, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/539051
Inventors:
Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
Corey Cole - Richmond CA, US
Brian Wares - Sacramento CA, US
Assignee:
SunPower Corporation - San Jose CA
International Classification:
E04D 13/18
US Classification:
521733, 136251
Abstract:
A photovoltaic assembly for converting solar radiation to electrical energy is described. The photovoltaic assembly includes a first photovoltaic module, a second photovoltaic module and a coupling platform. The first and second photovoltaic module each have a first side for securing to the coupling platform. The coupling platform has a retractable locking mechanism and a retaining device. The retaining device is positioned such that the first side of the second PV module inhibits the retractable locking mechanism from releasing the first side of the first PV module. The coupling platform also includes a support member for mounting to a tracking drive system or a roof top.

Photovoltaic Module Mount

US Patent:
20210126577, Apr 29, 2021
Filed:
Jan 6, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/143100
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Vicent Ripoll Agullo - Oakland CA, US
Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
International Classification:
H02S 30/10
H02S 20/30
H02S 20/24
H02S 40/36
F24S 25/632
F24S 25/16
F24S 25/60
F24S 25/20
Abstract:
Mounting components of photovoltaic (PV) modules and PV module assemblies are described, including PV module couplings and PV module mounting chassis. In an example, a PV module includes a PV module coupling having a toe portion extending from a PV module frame, and a PV module mounting chassis includes a toe slot to receive the toe. The toe and toe slot construction allows for the PV module frame to be assembled to the PV module mounting chassis without using tools, and thus, permits a PV module assembly to be quickly constructed during installation of a PV module system. Furthermore, the toe and toe slot construction accommodates thermal expansion and other environmental loads seen after installation, while providing a grounding connection for the PV module assembly.

Torque Tube Coupler

US Patent:
20190280643, Sep 12, 2019
Filed:
May 14, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/412025
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
Nicholas James McKibben - Oakland CA, US
Brian Wares - Jenner CA, US
International Classification:
H02S 20/32
F24S 30/425
F16D 1/04
F24S 25/65
H02S 20/23
F24S 25/12
H02S 20/10
Abstract:
A solar-tracking photovoltaic (PV) system having several PV modules mounted on a torque tube is described. The torque tube may include several sections joined by a torque tube coupler. For example, the torque tube coupler may having a medial section and end sections to join to the torque tube sections. The medial section and the torque tube sections may have a same outer diameter.

Cable Management Devices

US Patent:
20190219196, Jul 18, 2019
Filed:
Mar 28, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/368294
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Brian S. Wares - Jenner CA, US
Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
International Classification:
F16L 3/00
H02S 30/10
H02S 20/23
H02S 40/32
F16L 3/02
F16L 3/26
F16L 3/10
Abstract:
Cable management devices for use in photovoltaic (PV) module systems are described, including a cable support clip, a cable support stand, and a cable support tray. The cable management devices may be easily mounted on support surfaces, e.g., a roof or a frame rail, to lock electrical wiring in place and prevent contact with external structures. Furthermore, the cable management devices may be fabricated from low-cost and weather-resistant materials, e.g., spring wire or recycled automobile tires.

Variable Profile Solar-Tracking Photovoltaic System

View page
US Patent:
20180175783, Jun 21, 2018
Filed:
Dec 21, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/387151
Inventors:
- San Jose CA, US
Tyler Grushkowitz - Hayward CA, US
International Classification:
H02S 20/32
F24J 2/54
Abstract:
Described herein are improved solar tracker systems having variable profiles and related operating methods thereof. Solar-tracking PV systems with variable twisted or aerodynamic profiles offer several advantages including improved wind stability, improved shading characteristics and/or capability to correct system component misalignment. In an embodiment, motor drives (and locking devices if present) of a PV system can be driven against each other to cause a desirable twisted or aerodynamic profile of a torque tube and associated PV modules mounted on the torque tube. The desired twisted or aerodynamic profiles can range from a substantially flat horizontal plate to a twisted helix-like profile and combinations thereof so as to establish improved wind and/or shading characteristics. Advantages can also include a reduction in structural materials, increased structural strength, increased solar energy yield or a combination thereof.
