 Appl.No 2011101081 Applicant Australian Solar Group Pty Ltd Inventor Critchlow, Adrian
The solar array sign utilises the size and matrix properties of a solar array to enable the creation of an image, text or pattern. This is achieved by the visual disruption of the pattern. This disruption can be created in many ways but not limited to methods such as adjusting the spacing of the panels or by inserting dummy panels that have a different appearance to the standard photovoltaic panel, or by application of a coating or film to change the visual appearance of the panel. The atypical solar array has spacings between the rows and this distance is calculated so as to ensure that the panels do not shade each other, this in turn means that the image created by this process is also effected by this spacing and images, patterns or text that is created within the matrix of the solar array needs to be designed to compensate for this spacing and the location of the observer. rm-uu-r-_____ Figure 1.

 Appl.No 50962/96 Applicant AREVA Solar Pty Ltd Inventor Mills, David
A solar energy collector system which includes n groups (13, 14) of arrayed reflectors (15) and n+1 target receiver systems (10, 11, 12) which present absorbing surfaces to solar radiation that is reflected by the reflectors (15) within the groups. The receiver systems (10, 11, 12) are elevated relative to the reflectors (15) and the reflectors are pivotably mounted to support structures (19) in a manner such that they may be positioned angularly to reflect incident radiation toward one or the other of the receiver systems (10, 11, 12). The collector system is characterised in that at least some of the reflectors (15) within each group (13, 14) are arranged to be pivoted to an extent such that they may be oriented selectively to shift the direction of reflected incident solar radiation from one to another of the receiver systems.

The receiver systems (10, 11, 12) are elevated relative to the reflectors (15) and the reflectors are pivotably mounted to support structures (19) in a manner such that they may be positioned angularly to reflect incident radiation (I1, I2) toward one or the other of the receiver systems (10, 11, 12). The collector system is characterised in that a majority at least of the reflectors (15) within each group (13, 14) are arranged to be driven simultaneously to pivot through the same angle ($g(f)), in that the reflectors (15) within each group (13, 14) are arrayed in two sub-groups (21 and 22), and in that a majority at least of the reflectors (15) within the respective sub-group (21 and 22) are orientated permanently toward respective ones of the receiver systems (10, 11, 12).

 Appl.No 12217280 Applicant Amelio Solar, Inc. Inventor Kiss Zoltan Joseph

A solar PV module comprises an array of serially interconnected spaced PV solar cells on a common substrate, each cell comprising a 1st electrode on said substrate, an active PV film on the 1st electrode, a 2nd electrode, at least one of said electrodes being light transmitting and wherein the 2nd electrode of the nth solar cell of the array is connected to the 1st electrode of the succeeding, (n+1)th cell of the array via a portion of PV film which has a substantially higher conductivity than the remainder of the PV film. The novel structure of the present invention is achieved by substantially increasing the conductivity of a continuous light absorbing PV film in the area of desired electrical contact by doping the film in the desired areas.

A solar canopy has a solar panel assembly including a first solar panel coupled to a second solar panel and oriented non-parallel with respect to the second solar panel. The solar panel assembly has an effective solar-panel-assembly wind loading less than a sum of a first-solar-panel effective wind loading and a second-solar-panel effective wind loading determined individually. An actual load applied by the solar panel assembly to a solar-panel-assembly support structure coupled thereto when the solar panel assembly is subject to a wind loading is less than a design load for the solar panel assembly subject to the wind loading based on a sum of a first-solar-panel net pressure and a second-solar-panel net pressure determined independently.
