DEVICES FOR OPTIMIZING INDIVIDUAL SOLAR MODULES/COLLECTOR MODULES AND COMPOSITE COLLECTOR MODULE GROUPS AND STABILIZING THE OPERATION THEREOF AGAINST ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES, ESPECIALLY WIND AND PARTICLES AND OBJECTS CARRIED ALONG BY THE WIND
First Claim
1. A device for optimizing individual solar collector modules and assembled groups of collector modules against diverse environmental influences, comprising:
- one or more partial bodies,one or more mechanical flanging points and/or fastening points which are configured to be made available directly, or by means of auxiliary devices, by one or more mechanical supports, by an absorbing or reflecting collector module itself, or a solar collector;
wherein the device is rigidly or flexibly mounted in an operation area of the solar collector at at least one flanging point and/or fastening point; and
wherein the device is configured to move along or move in an operation area of the collector module in a uniform or non-uniform manner relative to the system'"'"'s own movement, and to protect or stabilize the operation of the collector module in reaction to static or dynamic influence of a respective environmental conditions.

Abstract
Devices for optimizing occurring environmentally specific loads, i.e., forces and moments of reflecting and absorbing solar collectors and module groups composed thereof. The construction is a combination of the device according to the invention for optimizing individual solar collector modules and assembled groups of collector modules and corresponding modules themselves. The devices act in the entire operation area by influencing and optimizing the flow around the individual solar collector modules and assembled groups of collector modules and accordingly leads to lower static loads and dynamic loads and, therefore, to increased efficiencies.

14. The device according to claim 14;
wherein the device is configured so that a fill level of the solid, liquid, or gaseous materials or a weight load of the solid materials to be secured can be adjusted individually according to an anticipated load in an operating angle area, or accordingly to corresponding reactive forces and moments to an environmental influence.
