Abstract

Ovaj završni rad se bavi konstrukcijom sustava nosača solarnih panela koji kod instalacije omogućava dodatno podešavanje položaja radi dobivanja optimalnog kuta nagiba, a time i postizanje maksimalne moguće efikasnosti pretvorbe energije. Konstrukciji je prethodio kratak uvid u procese iskorištavanja solarne energije, u kojemu se uspoređuju tipovi solarnih panela prema vrsti ćelija, analizira se utjecaj orijentacije panela na efikasnost pretvorbe energije i opisane su moguće pozicije montaže sustava solarnih panela. Nakon toga slijedi pregled postojećih rješenja, te razmatranje mogućih varijanti sustava nosača uz rješavanje konstrukcijskih zahtjeva. Naposljetku, odabrano je konstrukcijsko rješenje i dat proračun kritičnih komponenti uslijed opterećenja težinom samog sustava panela uz dodatno opterećenje zbog djelovanja vanjskih utjecaja kao što su snijeg i vjetar. Rad je popraćen potrebnom tehničkom dokumentacijom za izradu svih nestandardnih dijelova, te sklopnog crteža montiranog sustava.

Abstract (english)

This final thesis deals with design of the solar panel mounts which allows additional position adjustment during installation in order to achieve the optimal angle of inclination, and thus the maximum possible efficiency of energy conversion. Design was preceded by a brief insight into the processes of solar energy utilization, which compares the types of solar panels by photovoltaic cell type, analyzes the impact of panel orientation on energy conversion efficiency and describes possible locations for installation. The following is an overview of existing solutions, and consideration of possible variants of the system considering technical requirements. In the end, the concept was selected and the calculations of critical components due to the load of system weight with additional load due to external influences such as snow and wind are given. The paper also includes necessary technical documentation for the manufacturing of all non-standard parts, and the assembly drawing of the installed system.
