BACKGROUND
The demand for energy is increasing day by day. For any industry or household main source of energy is electricity. Now a day’s even cars run on electricity. To meet the demand, we need to generate more electricity through more power plants. But at same time the conventional power plant causes pollutions as well as setting up power plant takes lot time that increases the cost of electricity generation. Hence solar power plant is good alternative of conventional power plant. Solar energy is an important source of renewable energy. Solar power plant cause very less pollution as compared to a conventional power plant. Global installed capacity for solar-powered electricity has seen an exponential growth. Solar energy barely contributes to electricity used globally. In order to increase global percentage of solar energy, efficiency of solar power plant has to be increased and at same it has to be cost effective. To increase efficiency of the solar power plant and reduce the cost of electricity generation, the solar power plant has to be set up in very less time. One common problem in setting up power plant is mounting of quick mounting of photovoltaic module on either ground structure or roof structure. There are many technologies for mounting photovoltaic module.. The most common method for mounting photovoltaic module is by using the nut and bolts. But nut and bolt mounting are time consuming and thus causes increase in cost. Also there is problem while dissembling of nut and bolts. As solar power plant is in large area so nut and bolt mounting of photovoltaic panel takes more time, labour and cost. It is well known in the art to affix photovoltaic modules by means of locating parts such as profiled rails on their intended area of
2
application. The profiled rails are provided on their underside with a through slot, so that they may be fastened with screws in a variable way on the area of application, and have on their upper side several recesses, into which the photovoltaic modules are screwed down with their frame. The photovoltaic modules are thus relatively time-consuming to install. To overcome this problem different mechanical system has been developed so far.
US2012085395 (A1) discloses an attachment device for a module for collecting energy originating from solar radiation to a structure, such as a roof, a facade, or a mounting structure of a ground-mounted structure, wherein the module includes on its rear face at least one reinforcing profiled section. The attachment device includes at least one support secured to the structure. The support includes a snap-fastening mechanism with respect to the reinforcing profiled section of the module, which snap-fastening mechanism can be activated by applying a one-way thrust force pushing the module in the direction of the structure.
US2010089390 (A1) discloses a solar array mounting system having unique installation and grounding features, and which is adaptable for mounting solar panels having mounting holes located in different locations. The solar array mounting system includes tilt brackets and longitudinal links forming columns. A tilt bracket includes a tilt arm for supporting an upper spar of one row, and a pivot block for supporting a lower spar of a next row. The spars may be made from extruded aluminum or from steel, wherein the steel spars include an exposed metal channel to provide a common electrical equipment ground. Panel clamps are used to clamp the solar panel frames to the spars, allowing for variations in mounting hole locations.
WO2017013241 (A1) discloses an assembly system (1) for fastening and bearing solar modules (50, 51) on a substructure, comprising at least one longitudinal bearing profile (10) and at least one installation adapter (20) for clamping installation on the longitudinal bearing profile (10), wherein the installation adapter (20) has a clamping section (21) which can be expanded from a clamping position to an installation position, formed from a first limb (22) having a clamping arm (22.1), a second limb (23) having a clamping arm (23.1)
3
and an intermediate section (24) connecting the two limbs (22, 23), and wherein the longitudinal bearing profile (10) forms a profile limb (11) for removable clamping fastening of the installation adapter (20) by means of the clamping section (21).
CN106487323 (A) discloses a photovoltaic module installation system, which comprises a hook part, a bonding layer between the hook part and the back surface of a photovoltaic module, a connector in snap-fit with the hook part, a support beam supported on the hook part, and a fixed part fixedly connected with the connector and the support beam. The photovoltaic module installation system provided by the invention is simple in structure and convenient to install; more materials can be saved; the installation mode is relatively flexible; and when the condition that the installation position of the fixed part is out of alignment is found out, adjustment can be timely carried out and the reliability and the stability of the installation relationship are improved.
As photovoltaic module are mounted on the structure to be exposed to generate electricity effectively. The existing inventions take lots of time in mounting the photovoltaic module on the structure. The existing inventions are not effective in reducing the cost of mounting. The existing inventions are customized for particular type of structure and clip used in mounting are also custom design. If there is need to mount the same photovoltaic module in other structure then such existing inventions would fail to mount photovoltaic module on new structure. The strength of the photovoltaic module mounting assembly of the existing inventions is very low and cannot withstand high wind and vertical force. The existing invention is particularly design for photovoltaic module mounting and not for mounting other flat panel such as roof of building. The existing systems are very complex in nature and difficult to handle. Present invention overcomes the deficiencies in the prior art. Present invention is needed to facilitate the sustainable and efficient generation of green and quality power through renewable sources.
