Abstract | A system for maintaining photovoltaic modules includes an elongated rail including first and second support surfaces and a first mounting surface disposed between the first and second support surfaces. An array of the photovoltaic modules is coupled to the first mounting surface and raised relative to the first and second support surfaces. A first vehicle can be disposed on the first and second support surfaces and can include a motor; a maintenance module selected from the group consisting of: a spray system configured to spray a product, and a remote inspection module; and first and second support legs suspending the maintenance module relative to the photovoltaic modules of the first array and being movably coupled to the first and second support surfaces so as to laterally and sequentially move the maintenance module in a direction parallel to the elongated rail responsive to actuation of the motor.
La présente invention concerne un système pour la maintenance de modules photovoltaïques, ledit système comprenant un rail allongé qui inclut des première et seconde surfaces de support et une première surface de montage disposée entre les première et seconde surfaces de support. Un réseau de modules photovoltaïques est accouplé à la première surface de montage et surélevé par rapport aux première et seconde surfaces de support. Un premier véhicule peut être disposé sur les première et seconde surfaces de support et peut comprendre un moteur ; un module de maintenance choisi parmi le groupe constitué : d'un système de pulvérisation conçu pour pulvériser un produit, et d'un module d'inspection à distance ; et de premier et second pieds de support qui suspendent le module de maintenance par rapport aux modules photovoltaïques du premier réseau et qui sont accouplés de façon mobile aux première et seconde surfaces de support afin de déplacer latéralement et séquentiellement le module de maintenance dans une direction parallèle au rail allongé en réponse à un actionnement du moteur. |
