Strong wind protection system for a solar panel

Abstract

A detector is used on a solar panel to detect the strength of the wind blowing at it. A height-adjustable support decreases the height of the solar panel, based on the wind strength detection, for protecting the solar panel from potential damages caused by strong winds.

1 . A strong wind protection system for a solar panel, comprising:
 a detector for detecting the strength of the wind;   a support, on which the solar panel is mounted and which has an adjustable height; and   a control unit, coupled to the support, for adjusting the height of the support according to a predetermined rule and the detected wind strength.   
   
   
       2 . A strong wind protection system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said detector is an acceleration detector. 
   
   
       3 . A strong wind protection system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said detector is a gravitation detector. 
   
   
       4 . A strong wind protection system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said support is a telescopic support. 
   
   
       5 . A strong wind protection system as claimed in  claim 4 , further comprising a motor controlled by the control unit for driving an inner shaft of the telescopic support to rotate relative to an outer shaft of the telescopic support, thereby raising or lowering the outer shaft which is coupled to the solar panel.
