Technical field
The present invention relates generally to photovoltaic roof system, relates to the roof Material that can generate electricity more specifically.In particular, the present invention relates to a kind of roof shingle structure and wiring system that can be compatible and can generates electricity with traditional shide.
Background technology
Association area is described
Environmental pollution and shortage of energy are the problems of whole world concern at present.More and more interest focus on the solar energy, and it has indicated the unlimited source of clean energy resource.Solar energy is solution cleaning and that energy requirement that be growth can be born.Solar energy is the rechargeable energy resource, and owing to recognize the finiteness of fossil fuel and the fail safe of nuclear fuel, solar energy has won worldwide welcome.The part that can accomplish now is that transform light energy is become electric energy." photovoltaic cell " so usually is made up of the semi-conductor type material of the doped silicon of for example monocrystalline, polycrystalline or amorphous form.
Energy and the light incident on it by photovoltaic device produces are proportional, if produce relative lot of energy, then need sizable collection area.The roof of fabric structure and upper strata area have good rayed, do not use but transfer to usually producing.Photo-thermal and photovoltaic gatherer are placed for some time in the top that is known in building now.The roof that photovoltaic device for example is installed is at United States Patent (USP) U.S.5, and 092,939,5,232,518 and 4,189, shown in 881.These concrete photovoltaic roof structures are plank and seam type.
These photovoltaic cells that the roof uses become very general and become the important source of electric power, have especially improved the performance of device.In the past 15 years, the demand of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy increases by 25% every year at least.Compare with 21MW in 1985, worldwide photovoltaic is installed from the 1086MW that installs a few years ago (expression is annual to increase by 34%) and is risen to 1460MW (megawatt) in 2005.
The known now and commerce acquisition in a variety of forms of photovoltaic (PV) material.What the recent progress of photovoltaic technology made low cost, light component, film photovoltaic device creates possibility on a large scale.Can make thin film silicon and/or Ge alloy material that large-scale electricity and optical property balance and a lot of aspect are superior to their monocrystal now.These alloys can be at a high speed economical be deposited on the big relatively area and during multiple device was provided with, so they can easily be used for making low-cost, large-area photovoltaic device.United States Patent (USP) U.S. 4,226,898 and 4,217, and 364 all disclose concrete thin film alloys, and it can use in the manufacturing of the photovoltaic device type that the present invention uses.Yet, should be appreciated that the present invention is not limited to any photovoltaic material particular type and also can uses with the multiple semi-conducting material of crystal, polycrystalline, crystallite and non-crystalline material that comprises.
The development of field of solar energy concentrates on the solar energy module that is fixed on the existing roof.The roof provides the direct exposure of light radiation to the support structure of solar cell and photovoltaic device.Although development increases, the solar energy module that conventional roof is installed widely-used receives installation difficulty and cost, the especially restriction of their low-conversion of aesthstic appearance.
The solar energy module major part that many conventional roof are installed is made up by the glass capsulation thing, and design is to protect frangible silicon solar cell.These modules are the complication systems that comprise in the roof that discrete machinery and electric interconnects be installed to existence then, set-up time and technical ability that needs are more.In addition, because existing module does not provide the sky gas shiled on roof, for the protection roof Material that install module and they, the house owner bears material and labour's cost.Various modules have also been destroyed the aesthetics of dwelling house and commercial building, cause using limited.For example, among Fig. 1, traditional solar panels electricity generation system 100 generally comprises the solar panels 106,108 of the rigidity on one or more roofs 104 that are installed in residential structure 102.Expensive except installation and maintenance, solar panels 106,108 also might destroy the aesthetic effect of residential structure 102.
Shingle roofs receives an acclaim in many situations, typically is used for residential structure, and in those situation, often runs into quite complicated roof geometry problem.For example, the pitch shide accounts for nearly 2/3 of market, U.S. dwelling house roof.In typical shingled construction, roof Material provides with roll or to be arranged in the overlapping preparatory sliced form that is provided with subsequently.Sometimes, the roof is by thick relatively tile extruding, and this tile can be the interface plane or curling.Should notice that the integrated photovoltaic energy that need have the shingle roofs structure produces.
The photovoltaic roof element is difficult to install usually; Because they not only need be with mode physical connection that day gas shiled is provided to the roof, but also needs electricity interconnected (electrically interconnect) to being connected to wiring system of the element of photovoltaic generation system (for example converter, battery and instrument) greatly.It is interconnected that these installations often need the circuit expert to carry out electricity, and it is difficult to the time of photovoltaic roof element physics installation proportional.And, in many photovoltaic roof systems, produced big relatively voltage difference (for example 100-600V).Like this, need protection the interconnected weather effect that do not receive of electricity to avoid electric arc and short circuit.
United States Patent (USP) U.S. 4,040,867 has described the photovoltaic shingled construction, comprises multiple single shide parts, wherein all has the interconnected monocrystalline photovoltaic device of many electricity on each its.In order from this type device, to obtain high-energy, single shide must be made big or several shides needs electricity interconnected.The problem of wind load has appearred in first method, and second method has caused the interconnected structure of a large amount of weather-proof electricity of needs; And, because the humidity between shide of closing on that capillarity causes spreads and can cause leaking.The structure of another kind of photovoltaic shide is described in United States Patent (USP) U.S. 4,321,416 to some extent.United States Patent (USP) U.S. 3,769,091 has also described another kind of photovoltaic roof system, comprises a plurality of single silicon devices of installing with overlapping relation.
Recently, United States Patent (USP) U.S. 5,575,861 and U.S.5,437,735 disclose a kind of photovoltaic roof system, comprise the rectangular roof Material with lap, and from a plurality of protuberances that separate by the non-zone of action of microgroove there.Each ledge comprises that the photovoltaic of fixing on it generates device.Sealant covers every top surface and twines with side along what expose.Photovoltaic device is interconnected by electricity, and each photovoltaic shide parts comprises the little electric terminals that is used for from said photovoltaic device transmission of power.In use, the shide parts are fixed on the roof, and the ledge of such row's shide covers the lap of adjacent rows.Yet, the interconnected point that passes arrival building inboard, roof or roof of each electricity.
Prior art fails to provide acceptable shide type photovoltaic roof system.And that prior art manufacturer has produced is aesthstic more satisfactory and hinder less scheme, but because installation difficulty and relatively poor total surface efficient, this system does not have big price competitiveness.Lower photovoltaic efficiency level is relevant with the cost of higher photovoltaic system, because for the given bigger module area of energy requirement needs.The prior art device is thick usually, insecure or they are not compatible with the geometry of normal structure technology.Thus, prior art photovoltaic shingled construction needs specific mounting process and the personnel that trained, and this has increased their cost and has limited their use.And these structures are not easy to be integrated into the roof of conventional construction.In addition, very obvious when making their installations because device often has various colors and geometry, so aesthetic problem has appearred in prior art photovoltaic roof structure.
Obviously, need a kind of photovoltaic roof Material that is similar to the conventional roof material as far as possible.The photovoltaic of roof Material part should be self-contained than wide-angle and be easy to adopt traditional handicraft to install.It also should be relative wind-force load in light weight, anti-and stable under abominable atmospheric conditions.
