We claim:
1. Vertical photovoltaic system (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000), characterised
in that it comprises:
- at least one bifacial rectangular photovoltaic module (101), each module having:
- two sides, referred to as "short sides",
5 - two other sides, referred to as "long sides", the length of which is greater than or equal to a
length of at least one short side;
- at least two support posts (103, 503) for supporting the photovoltaic module, each such post
having:
- a first portion (104) configured to be secured to at least one such photovoltaic module;
10 - a second portion (105) configured to be secured to the ground (102); and
- at least one securing means (106) for securing at least one such post to the long side of at least
one such photovoltaic module;
each photovoltaic module being directly connected, via its two long sides, to the securing means
of two consecutive support posts.
15 2. System (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000) according to claim 1, which comprises
no horizontal structural element, connecting two posts (103, 503), arranged above the short side
of a photovoltaic module farthest from the ground (102).
3. System (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000) according to one of claims 1 or 2,
wherein at least one securing means (106) has a plurality of attachment positions configured to
20 position a photovoltaic module (101) closer to or farther from the ground (102) according to
the attachment position height.
4. System (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000) according to one of claims 1 to 3,
wherein at least one securing means (106) comprises:
- at least one bolt (114) and nut (113) assembly,
25 - at least one clip system (111),
- at least one spring, and/or
- at least one gripper.
5. System (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 800, 900, 1000) according to one of claims 1 to 4,
wherein at least one post (103, 503) has a cross-sectional profile with the following shape:
30 - symmetrical or asymmetrical H;
- inclined H;
28
- cross;
- C;
- F;
- inclined T;
5 - offset inclined T; or
- inclined Z.
6. System (600, 800, 900) according to one of claims 1 to 5, which comprises:
- at least one cross member (601, 801) arranged under the short side of a photovoltaic module
(101) closest to the installation ground (102), and having extremities (602, 603, 802, 803); and
10 - at least two connecting means (604, 605, 804, 805), each such connecting means being
configured to secure an individual extremity of at least one such cross-member to a post (103,
503),
this cross-member being arranged and secured between at least two posts.
7. System (600, 800, 900) according to claim 6, wherein at least one cross-member (601, 801)
15 has a C- or inverted U-shaped cross-sectional profile.
8. System (600, 800, 900) according to one of claims 6 or 7, wherein at least one cross-member
(601, 801) is configured to at least partially enclose at least one post (103, 503).
9. System (600, 800, 900) according to one of claims 6 to 8, wherein at least one cross-member
(601, 801) comprises an upper rim in contact with the module (101) and a lower rim configured
20 to hold electrical cables (606) connected to the photovoltaic module.
10. System (800) according to claim 8 or to claim 9 when it is dependent on claim 8, wherein
at least one connecting means (804, 805) comprises at least one intermediate attachment portion
(806, 809) configured to complete the enclosure around at least one post (503).
