Photovoltaic mounting system Photovoltaic mounting system Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). The solar array of a PV system can be mounted on rooftops, generally with a few inches gap and parallel to the surface of the roof. If the rooftop is horizontal, the array is mounted with each panel aligned at an angle. If the panels are planned to be mounted before the
Poisk (ISS module) Poisk (ISS module) Poisk (; lit. "Search"), also known as the Mini-Research Module 2 (MRM 2), , or "МИМ 2", is a docking module of the International Space Station. Its original name was Docking Module 2 ( (SO-2)), as it is almost identical to the Pirs Docking Compartment. Added in 2009, "Poisk" was the first major Russian addition to the International Space Station since 2001. Poisk is overall the same design as a docking module Pirs. Whereas Pirs has been attached to the "nadir" ("bottom") port of "Zvezda" module, Poisk is attached to the "zenith" ("top"); Pirs is closer to
