연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

The mounting bracket of claim 1, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the glazing strip are substantially perpendicular to each other.3. The mounting bracket of claim 1, wherein the first portion extends in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the downward facing inner surface of the top flange.4. The mounting bracket of claim 1, wherein the bottom flange includes a member sized to accommodate a hardware connector.5. The mounting bracket of claim 1, wherein the second groove is sized to accommodate a hardware connector.6. The mounting bracket of claim 1, further comprising a cushion strip disposed on the inner surface of the upright portion in the first groove.7. A mounting bracket comprising:a bottom flange;an upright portion extending from the bottom flange and having an inner surface and an outer surface;a top flange opposite the bottom flange, extending from the upright portion and having a downward facing inner surface configured to adjoin an upper surface of a photovoltaic module;an outward facing top extension projecting from and being perpendicular to the outer surface of the upright portion of the bracket;a first extension extending from the inner surface of the upright portion at a position between the top flange and the bottom flange and having a first surface that defines a first groove sized to accommodate an edge of the photovoltaic module with the downward facing inner surface of the top flange and a second surface opposed to the first surface; anda second extension adjacent to the first extension and extending from the inner surface of the upright portion at a position between the first extension and the bottom flange and having a surface that defines a second groove with the second surface of the first extension.8. The mounting bracket of claim 7, further comprising an outward facing bottom extension, wherein the outward facing top extension and the outward facing bottom extension define an opening sized to accommodate a support structure.9. The mounting bracket of claim 8, wherein the support structure is an elongated rail.10. The mounting bracket of claim 7, wherein top extension includes a terminal portion that is directed toward the bottom flange.11. The mounting bracket of claim 10, wherein the bracket further comprises an outward facing bottom extension, wherein the outward facing top extension and the outward facing bottom extension define an opening sized to accommodate a support structure.12. The mounting bracket of claim 11, wherein the bottom extension includes a terminal portion that is directed toward the top flange.13. A method of mounting a photovoltaic module comprising:inserting an edge of a photovoltaic module having an upper surface into a mounting bracket comprising a top flange having a downward facing inner surface configured to adjoin a portion of the upper surface of the photovoltaic module;adhering the downward facing surface of the top flange to the portion of the upper surface of the photovoltaic module; andinserting a glazing strip in the second groove, the glazing strip having a first portion that is directed toward the first groove and a second portion that resides within the second groove.14. The method of claim 13, wherein the mounting bracket further comprises:a first extension extending from the inner surface of the upright portion at a position between the top flange and a bottom flange of the mounting bracket and having a first surface that defines a first groove sized to accommodate an edge of the photovoltaic module with the downward facing inner surface of the top flange and a second surface opposed to the first surface; anda second extension adjacent to the first extension and extending from the inner surface of the upright portion at a position between the first extension and the bottom flange and having a surface that defines a second groove with the second surface of the first extension.15. The method of claim 14, wherein adhering the downward facing surface of the top flange to the upper surface of the photovoltaic module includes applying an adhesive to the downward facing surface of the top flange.16. The method of claim 15, wherein the adhesive comprises silicone.17. The method of claim 15 further comprising curing the adhesive.18.
