Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rain cover structure for a solar cell panel that is installed on a roof board and also serves as a roofing material.

When installing solar panels on the roof, it is well known that a frame is installed on the roof and the solar panels are mounted on top of the frame, but this structure not only increases the load on the roof, but also leading to price increases. Therefore, it is considered that the load and cost of the roof can be reduced by using the solar panel as a roofing material. However, in such cases, as with general roofing materials, 7
It is necessary to perform a rain-covering treatment on the gap between the solar cell panels that is created when the solar cell panels are assembled into a light beam.

Structures such as roof tiles and roof tiles are known as rain protection structures in general architecture. However, these structures are installed when maintenance and inspection are required, such as solar panels.
It is not easy to remove and may cast a shadow on the solar cell surface, reducing the amount of power generated by the solar cell.

In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rain cover structure that allows reliable rain cover processing, facilitates replacement of solar cell panels, and does not cast shadows on the solar cell surface.

For this purpose, the solar panel has a frame that extends outward while surrounding the periphery of the solar cell and forming an upwardly open U-shaped groove, and straddles the grooves of the frames of two adjacent solar panels. , a U-shaped non-combustible cover whose ends of the legs are inserted into the sealing material filled in the grooves is attached to the roof board across the extension of the frame. It can be taken continuously by being screwed to the girder material.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, a frame 2 of a solar cell panel 1 made of, for example, a corrosion-resistant metal is formed with a mounting portion 4 that extends outward and surrounds a U-shaped groove 3. As shown in FIG. A sealing material 5 is placed inside the groove 3.
is inserted into the sealing material 5, and the ends of the leg portions of a U-shaped strip cover 6 made of a non-combustible material such as metal are pushed into the sealing material 5. On the other hand, the part 4 of the frame 2 is supported by the C-channel girder 8 attached to the roof shedding board 7, and the screw 9 connects the cover 6 to the part 4 and the girder material. Attach the screws to 8. It is clear that this rain cover structure can be applied not only between the solar panels, but also to the mounting of the solar panels at the ends.

With this structure, rain can be prevented from entering between the sealing material 5 and the nonflammable cover 6. By removing the screws 9 and removing the cover 6 and the sealing material 3, the solar cell panel 1 can be removed. can be easily replaced (3). Moreover, the heights of the frame 2 and cover 6 can be made low so that they do not cast shadows on the solar cell surface.

As described above, the present invention forms a U-groove in the frame of a solar panel, and inserts both legs of a U-shaped cover that covers the gap between adjacent solar panels into a sealing material filled in the groove. At the same time, the cover is screwed to the girder material on the roofing board, and the panel frame is fixed on the girder material at the same time.It has a simple structure consisting of the solar panel frame, sealing material, and noncombustible cover. , rain protection processing is possible at a low price, and installation and removal are easy.
The effects that can be obtained are extremely large, such as not affecting the output of solar cells.
