Title:
STRUCTURAL FRAME AND SOLAR COLLECTOR MODULE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/145513
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Solar collector modules and techniques for their construction are disclosed. In one aspect, a solar collector module includes a reflector and a three-dimensional structural frame that supports the reflector. The structural frame includes a set of primary structural shapes and a set of axial frame members connected between corners of the primary structural shapes forming helical paths for the transmission of torque from one end of the structural frame to the other. In another aspect, a method for assembling a solar collector module includes pre-assembling part of the module.
