Patent ID: 8736449

Claim:
An antitheft/anti-effraction system ( 1 ) for a photovoltaic panel ( 8 ), comprising: at least one electromechanical means ( 24 ) insertable via an irreversible coupling system ( 27 , 28 ) in a rear layer ( 4 ) of the photovoltaic panel ( 8 ), and connecting both mechanically and electrically the panel ( 8 ) to a junction box ( 22 ) via electrical cable ( 14 ) and irreversible coupling means ( 32 ); an electronic unit ( 21 ) for management of the panel ( 8 ) that is insertable into the junction box ( 22 ) and fixed with respect thereto, and which, via said electromechanical means ( 24 ), is rendered fixed with respect to the panel ( 8 ) and designed to interrupt a flow of current of the panel ( 8 ) through electronic devices according to bidirectional communication logics; a central system ( 39 ), which communicates with the electronic unit ( 21 ) for management of the panel ( 8 ) and is equipped with bidirectional communication means connected to a PC ( 40 ) equipped with software dedicated to communication and management of the panel, said PC ( 40 ) being connected to a wide area communication system; wherein said central system ( 39 ) is equipped with means for georeferencing, and said electromechanical means( 24 ) is coupled, in a way that is irreversible and unremovable except by effraction, both to the rear layer ( 4 ), and to the junction box ( 22 ), in such a way that an attempt at forced separation of said junction box ( 22 ), in addition to entailing an electrical discontinuity of the electrical cable ( 14 ), involves irremediable breakage of at least one of the coupling system, the coupling means, and the panel ( 8 ); wherein said electro-mechanical means ( 24 ) comprises a cylindrical body ( 31 ), which is made of dielectric material and is axially hollow ( 33 ); and wherein said coupling system comprises plural grips externally provided on said cylindrical body ( 31 ), of which a first grip ( 27 ) is fixed on an outer surface of the rear layer ( 4 ), and a second grip ( 28 ) is fixed on an inner surface of the rear layer ( 4 ), and wherein said coupling means includes a third grip fixed on an inner surface of the junction box ( 22 ).
