SELF SUPPORTING SOLAR SOLUTION
DRIVE
June 26, 2025
An electrical bus system has a trunk bus that includes at least one positive bus line, an equal number of negative bus line, and a ground cable. The trunk bus lines extend through clamping blocks where some of the clamping blocks are coupled to brackets that are themselves coupled to vertical supports. The ground cable is coupled to vertical support using the bracket. Multi-tap shear bolt connectors are used to connect the trunk bus line to photovoltaic wires carrying the output from one or more solar panel arrays, thereby eliminating the need for combiner boxes used in conventional systems.
