Covering component of solar module and solar module assembly with covering component

technical field

The invention relates to a solar module (module), in particular to a solar module cover component and a solar module assembly with the cover component.

Background technique

Solar energy can be regarded as the most readily available and cheapest energy on the earth at present, so solar energy has become one of the most promising applied energy sources at present. Among the existing technical fields, the application of solar energy includes: temperature regulation, solar cells, soil purification, air purification, water quality purification, and household electricity systems; especially, solar power generation and solar water heaters are the most typical solar energy in modern environmentally friendly homes. Applications.

Solar panels are generally installed on the roof area of buildings to allow sunlight to shine. After the solar panels are irradiated by sunlight, the photoelectrically converted power can be used by power-consuming equipment (such as water heaters, refrigerators, etc.) in the building. Since the installation of solar panels generally only considers how to securely install the solar panel on the roof, generally a solar panel assembly frame and a large number of screws are used to securely install the solar panel on the roof. Although this approach can firmly install the solar panels on the building, it does not take into account its aesthetics. Specifically, after the solar panels are assembled on the roof, the gaps between the solar panels and the exposed screws on the assembly frame will damage the overall appearance of the building, and deter consumers who need to install solar panels. Therefore, how to enhance the aesthetic effect of the solar panel assembled in the building, and then improve the installation desire of consumers will be one of the problems that the research and development personnel should solve.

Contents of the invention

The present invention is to provide a cover component of a solar module and a solar module assembly with a cover component, so as to solve the problem of assembling a solar panel to a building through an assembly frame and a large number of screws in the prior art, but destroying the structure of the building. A matter of overall aesthetics.

The solar module assembly disclosed in the present invention includes at least one loading part, a plurality of solar modules, two vertical covering parts, a plurality of first locking parts and two horizontal covering parts. Each solar module includes a solar panel and a frame. The solar panel is installed on the frame, and the frame surrounds the solar panel. These frames are fixed on the loading part, and form a longitudinal gap and a transverse gap, and the longitudinal gap and the transverse gap have an interlaced area. Each vertical covering component includes a first covering section and a first engaging section. The first engaging section is connected to the first covering section and has two engaging slots. Two longitudinal coverings are arranged on the frames of parts of the solar modules. The two first covering sections are respectively located on opposite sides of the interlacing area to jointly cover the longitudinal gap, and the two first engaging sections are located in the interlacing area. Each first locking piece passes through and locks the two vertical covering pieces and the loading piece respectively, so as to fix the two vertical covering pieces and the loading piece. Each horizontal covering part includes a second covering section and at least one second locking section. The two second engaging sections of the two transverse covering parts are engaged with the engaging slots of the two first engaging sections, so that the two second covering sections are located on opposite sides of the intersecting area and jointly cover the transverse gap.

According to the cover assembly of the solar module and the solar module assembly with the cover assembly disclosed in the present invention, the horizontal cover is only assembled on the vertical cover by snap-fitting, so that no additional screw holes are required on the horizontal cover , to improve the aesthetics of the cover component.

Furthermore, if the solar modules are assembled on the roof, the cover assembly covers the gaps between the solar modules, which can prevent external debris such as snow, dust, fallen leaves from accumulating on the roof from the gaps and affecting the drainage effect of the roof. In this way, the problem of damage to the solar module caused by accumulated water can be avoided.

In addition, the assembling strength of the lateral cover is strengthened by hooking the resisting sections of the side reinforcements to the frames.
