In 1954,Bell Labs' Daryl Chapin,Calvin Fuller,and Gerald Pearsoncreated a silicon single-crystal photovoltaic (PV) cell capable of about 6% conversion efficiency with direct sunlight,enough to power an electric device for several hours of a day. 15 Their patent,US patent no. . The present invention pertains to an apparatus for capturing solar energy and employing the solar energy to create electricity. Solar energy travels millions of miles from the sun until striking a target that absorbs the energy. A solar power generator (20) comprising foldable elongated sheet (1) forming a four-side box frame structure (13). Charles Fritts installed the first solar panels on New York City rooftop in. .

A bracket which accounts for the vertical variability of a t-post stud and provides a secure mechanical attachment thus allowing for an object, such as a solar panel, to be attached and aligned to the top surface of a t-post. . photovoltaic bracketsare used to support photovoltaic modules to ensure that the photovoltaic modules form a fixed inclination angle and are not damaged by bad weather. The braces each have a first end portion movably coupled to the rail. The photovoltaic assembly support system mainly includes a support body, a lower connecting member and an upper connecting member.
