BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Solar systems are very much promoted everywhere since sun light is renewable source of energy. These days lot of solar power plants are established to generate energy from the sun light. There are frame assemblies present in market for installing the solar panels. Some of the assemblies are automatic that automatically change the facing angle of the solar panels with the sun’s trajectory. One does not have to bother about the season and the sun’s direction. The system automatically detects position of the sun and the position of the sun and can automatically shift the position of the solar panels accordingly. However, such frame assemblies are very complex in terms of maintenance, operation and are very expensive. Some of the frame assemblies are fixed and does not have provision for changing the position of the solar panels with respect to the assembly. Conventional frame assembly for installing the solar panels are very easy to install on levelled ground. However, when such assemblies are required to installed on uneven ground, it is very difficult are inefficient. In case of bi-facial solar panels energy is generated even from sun light that is reflected back from ground. Even a small shadow on the solar cells, in case of the bi-facial solar panel, can considerably degrades efficiency of the complete solar panel.
[0004] There is, therefore, a need of an improved frame assembly for installing the solar panels, which is free from above discussed problems are is cost effective too.

The solar panels 102 can include but not limiting to bifacial solar panels. The solar panels 102 can be positioned over the plurality of first members 104 such that each of the plurality of first members 104 are aligned with edges of the solar panels 102. This can avoid any shadow of the first members 104 over the solar panels 102 and increase the efficiency of the solar panels. The solar panels 102 can be disposed over the first members 104 such that the solar panels 102 faces the sun. the solar panels can be configured with the first members using but without limiting to nuts, bolts, making grooves in the first members and any other means of attaching the solar panels.
[0037] In an embodiment, the arrangement 100 can include a second member 106 that can be coupled with the plurality of first member 104. The second member 106 can be coupled with the first member 104 such that the second member 106 can orthogonally pass through a centre each of the plurality of first members 104. The second member 106 can be coupled with the first members at pre-defined locations, having slots, with the help of but without limiting to nuts, bolts, snip fits and like. The first members 104 can be extending in a first direction and the second member 106 can be extending in a second direction that can be orthogonal to the first direction.
[0038] In an embodiment, the arrangement 100 can include one or more third members 108-A, 108-B, …108-N (collectively known as third members 108) having a first end 108-1 and a second end 108-2. At a first end 108-1, the third member 108 can be pivotally coupled with the second member 106 for facilitating a tilt motion of the solar panel 102 with respect to the third member 108. The second member 106 can be pivotally coupled with the one or more third members 108 through but without limiting to a coupler 112. Further, one or more stopping members 110 can be configured between the plurality of first members 104 and the one or more third members 108. The one or more stopping members 110 can be configured to keep the solar panels at one or more pre-defined angles (or tilt) with respect to the one or more third members. The stopping members 110 can include a first end 110-1 and a second end 110-2.
[0039] In an embodiment, the second end 108-2 of the one or more third members 108 can be configured with ground. The first end 110-1 of the one or more stopping members 110 can be pivotally coupled with the one or more first members 104, and the second end 110-2 of the one or more stopping members 110 can be removably coupled with the one or more third members 108 to facilitate the one or more pre-defined angles between the solar panels 102 and the one or more third members 108. The one or more third members 108 can comprise a first third member 108-A and a second third member 108-B. The second end 108-2 of the first third member and the second third member can be configured with the ground using a tripod support 114.
[0040] In an embodiment, the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B can be adapted to be configured with any ground such as levelled ground and uneven ground such as hills. In case of uneven ground, the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B can be kept a different depth level such that they are at same level at top. Also, the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B can be in-line with each other, horizontally. The depth level difference between the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B can be in a range of 1000-1500mm, and horizontal distance between the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B can be in a range 3000-4000mm. This can provide a firm support for the solar panels in case of heavy wind conditions. The stopping members can be used, with the arrangement, as a combination of the straight and curved stopping members.
[0041] FIG. 3A illustrates exemplary representation of installing the arrangement at hill area, and FIG. 3B illustrate an exemplary representation second end of third member, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0042] As illustrated, holes can be dug up in the ground for the first third member 108-A and the second third member 108-B. The holes can be filled with concrete initially to prevent any moisture content in the third members from the ground. Further, a cage 116 (as shown in FIG. 3B) of iron rods can be inserted in the holes and the third members 108 can be inserted in the cage. A tilt of the solar panels 102, with respect to the one or more third members, can be varied manually by changing position of the second end 110-2 of the one or more stopping members 110 on the one or more third members 108. The direction of the solar panels can be varied according to season and sun trajectory.
[0043] The present disclosure provides an improved arrangement for installing solar panels that can be installed anywhere irrespective of ground profile. The arrangement can be installed at hill areas and on a levelled groiund too. The provided arrangement allows the installation of the solar panels without causing any shadowing effective of the arrangement on the solar panels. This can increase efficiency of the bifacial solar cells. Also, the disclosed arrangement can provide a better and firm supprot to the solar panels in case of high speed wind too.
[0044] In case of bifacial solar panels, solar cells are arranged on the both faces to received sun lights that is reflected back from the ground. This type of solar panels are more efficient. However, one has to take utmost care while installing them since even a small amount of shadow on a single solar cell can considerably reduce efficiency of the complete solar panel. The present disclosure provides an improved structural arrangement for installing the the bifacila solar panels, which does nor cast any shadow on the solar cells and doers not compromise overall efficiency of the bifacial solar panels.
