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.

1. An array for removably positioning a plurality of solar panels comprising: a plurality of discrete ballast holders configured to rest in overlying relationship to a planar support surface and configured in spaced relationship to one another;a plurality of panel support members, each support member having two upright portions, a transverse portion contiguously connected to and only extending between the two upright portions, and a retainer attached to the transverse portion at a location between the two upright portions and configured to retain a solar panel;ballast material removably positioned in more than one of the discrete ballast holders; andat least two solar panels, each solar panel having a top edge, a bottom edge and two opposed side edges, each solar panel attached to two of the plurality of panel support members with the retainer at an edge of the solar panel, each of the two of the plurality of panel support members supporting a solar panel being attached to a different ballast holder, wherein at least one of the plurality of discrete ballast holders is connected to four of the panel support members. 2. The array of claim 1, wherein abutting side edges of two adjacent solar panels are aligned between a pair of parallel panel support members, each support member of the pair connected to the same discrete ballast holders. 3. The array of claim 1 having a first row, wherein the first row comprises: at least two units, each unit comprising two discrete ballast holders and at least one panel support member extending substantially perpendicular therebetween, wherein the at least two units are positioned in spaced relationship to one another. 4. The array of claim 3 further having at least one additional row, wherein each additional row comprises: at least two units, each unit comprising one discrete ballast holder and at least one panel support member extending substantially perpendicular therefrom, wherein the at least one additional row is connected to the first row such that the upright portion of the panel support members opposite to the discrete ballast holders of the additional row is connected to the nearest discrete ballast holder of the first row. 5. The array of claim 4, wherein the at least one additional row is a plurality of additional rows, and wherein a subsequent additional row is connected to a preceding additional row such that the upright portion of the panel support members opposite to the discrete ballast holders of the subsequent additional row is connected to the nearest discrete ballast holder of the preceding additional row. 6. The array of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of discrete ballast holders comprises at least two parallel elongate members spaced from each other and at least two cross beams perpendicular to the elongate members, the at least one of the panel support members connected substantially perpendicular to at least one of the elongate members. 7. The array of claim 1, wherein the retainer is comprised of a pair of attachment fixtures, each attachment fixture positioned proximate an end of the transverse portion, wherein at least one of the attachment fixtures is movable along at least a portion of the transverse portion. 8. The array of claim 1, wherein the transverse portion is configured to extend beyond a supported solar panel on each end of the transverse portion. 9. A method of positioning two or more solar panels in an array comprising: orienting at least three panel supports in linear relationship to one another on a support substrate, wherein each panel support comprises: at least one transverse portion having a first end connected to a first leg member and a second end connected to a second leg member; a retainer attached to the at least one transverse portion and configured to retain a solar panel; at least one ballast holder connected to one of the first and second leg; and discrete ballast members in each discrete ballast holder;positioning at least two solar panels in overlying relationship to two of the at least three panel supports and in abutting relationship to one another such that the abutting solar panels form an abutment junction seam, the solar panels positioned such that the abutment junction seam is located medial between and parallel to two transverse portions connected to the same discrete ballast holder; andretaining the positioned solar panels in affixed relationship to the panel support. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein orienting the panel supports comprises: assembling the panel supports by connecting each one's ballast holders to the respective first or second leg;orienting a first of the assembled panel supports relative to the support substrate;positioning the ballast member in the associated ballast holder;orienting a second panel support in spaced linear relationship relative to the first panel support and positioning the ballast member in the associated ballast holder; andorienting a third panel support in spaced linear relationship relative to the second panel support. 11. The method of claim 10 further comprising: interconnecting an additional panel support with the first panel support such that a new row is formed;orienting in spaced linear relationship to the additional panel support another additional panel support, wherein the another additional panel support is in spaced relation to the additional panel support; andinterconnecting the another additional panel support to the adjacent ballast holder of the second panel support. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the first leg has a first length and the second leg has a second length, the first length being different than the second length. 13. A solar panel array kit comprising: at least two end unit elements, the end unit elements each including at least one ballast holder, at least one solar panel support member attachable to the at least one ballast holder and means for connecting the at least one ballast holder to the at least one solar panel support member;at least one center unit element, the center unit element including two discrete ballast holders, at least two solar panel support members attachable to the ballast holders and means for connecting the respective ballast holders to the solar panel support members, wherein the respective ballast holders are configured to removably receive a ballast material, wherein each of the solar panel support members is a unitary member having two bends along its length, each bend having an angle of over forty-five degrees;a plurality of solar panel retention clips; anda plurality of solar panels, the solar panels configured to be placed in overlying relationship with the solar panel support members on a portion of the solar panel support members between the two bends, when the respective end units and center unit elements are in spaced relationship on a substrate surface. 14. The solar panel array kit of claim 13 wherein the solar panel retention clips are movably positionable on the respective solar panel support member between the two bends. 15. The solar panel array kit of claim 13 wherein each ballast holder of each central unit element is configured to be connected to up to two additional solar panel support members from up at least one additional end unit or center unit. 16. The solar panel array kit of claim 13 wherein the respective solar panel support members each include a pair of opposed legs, each of the opposed legs having a length different from the other.
