PHOTO-ELECTRIC STATION WITH SELF-CLEANING SOLAR MODULES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F24J2/46 F24J2/50 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering, to devices for electric energy generation by the conversion of solar energy into electric one, and is intended for the use as a part of systems for independent power supply of various equipment. A photo-electric station contains photo-electric modules, a metal framework consisting of a vertical rack and a frame for fastening of the modules, a charger, batteries. The frame for fastening of the photo-electric modules contains springs for their suspension. The photo-electric modules are fitted with two punched bars for their suspension on springs on the frame. Self-cleaning of surfaces of the photo-electric modules from snow is provided due to their suspension on the springs creating steady oscillations and a possibility of bending of the photo-electric modules at the same time in several directions due to elastic deformations reducing the probability of long-term adhesion of snow on the surfaces of the modules and formation of ice crust.

EFFECT: increase of resistance to mechanical and thermomechanical loads, avoidance of the necessity in routine maintenance, simplification of onsite installation and commissioning.
