Cable holder assembly for solar power system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11929708B2) discloses a method for utilizing a cable holder assembly in conjunction with a solar module frame. The method involves positioning the cable holder assembly against the solar module frame and applying a tightening force to a coupling device to create a clamping force between the cap and base of the assembly. The design ensures that each channel of the assembly is enclosed by the flat surface of the lower member of the solar module frame, enhancing the stability of the connection.
Furthermore, the patent also describes a solar module frame assembly incorporating the cable holder assembly. The assembly includes a solar module frame with a flat surface and a cable holder assembly with a cap, base, and coupling device. The design of the assembly allows for the formation of enclosures for each channel when clamped to the solar module frame, ensuring a secure connection. Additionally, the cap and base of the assembly feature apertures for the coupling device, which is a fastener that imparts the clamping force through a tightening force, enhancing the overall structural integrity of the assembly.
