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 method of claim 1, further comprising: positioning a third laterally adjacent and longitudinally aligned with the first module, and a fourth module laterally adjacent and longitudinally aligned with the second module, to form an assembly of four adjacent modules;passing the first leg of the u-bolt through a third aperture disposed near a trailing edge of a side member of the third module and passing the second leg of the u-bolt through a fourth aperture disposed near a leading edge of a side member of the fourth module; andwherein securing the u-bolt includes securing the u-bolt to the first, second, third and fourth modules by securing the first leg and the second leg to a connecting plate that spans the leading edges of the first and third modules and the trailing edges of the second and fourth modules. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein securing the first and second legs to the connecting plate includes engaging a notch formed in each leg with respective first and second complementary apertures formed in the connecting plate. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the legs of the u-bolt are set apart from each other by a distance that exceeds the distance between the apertures of the connecting plate when the legs are in an unbiased configuration, so that the legs require compression toward each other to engage the apertures of the connecting plate. 5. A photovoltaic assembly comprising at least first and second substantially similar photovoltaic modules, each module including: a first frame portion defining a first plane and having: a. left and right side members, each side member including a leading edge, a front aperture disposed near the leading edge, a trailing edge, and a rear aperture disposed near the trailing edge;b. a front cross member connecting the left and right side members; andc. a rear cross member connecting the left and right side members;a second frame portion defining a second plane oriented at a predetermined angle relative to the first plane, the second frame portion having left and right support members, each support member connected to one of the side members and including an upper surface lying substantially within the second plane; anda photovoltaic panel supported by the upper surfaces of the left and right support members and lying substantially parallel to the second plane;wherein the front and rear apertures of each side member are configured to receive a connection member for securing each module to an adjacent module;wherein the second module is disposed laterally adjacent to and longitudinally aligned with the first module, and the first and second modules are secured together with a first connection member passing through one of the rear apertures of the first module and an adjacent rear aperture of the second module; andwherein the first connection member is selected from the group consisting of a self-connecting strap forming a loop that connects the first and second modules, and a u-shaped bolt configured to fit within a receiving plate which spans an intersection region of the first and second modules with third and fourth longitudinally adjacent modules. 6. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the first connection member is a u-shaped bolt configured to fit within a receiving plate which spans an intersection region of the first and second modules with third and fourth longitudinally adjacent modules. 7. The assembly of claim 5, further comprising a third photovoltaic module substantially similar to the first module, wherein the third module is disposed longitudinally adjacent to and laterally aligned with the first module, and wherein the first and third modules are secured together with a second connection member passing through one of the front apertures of the first module and an adjacent rear aperture of the third module. 8. The assembly of claim 7, wherein the second connection member is a u-shaped bolt configured to fit within a receiving plate which spans an intersection region of the first and third modules. 9. The assembly of claim 5, wherein the first connection member is a self-connecting strap forming a loop that connects the first and second modules. 10.
