    • BACKGROUND
  • 1. Field of Invention
  • The present invention relates to a solar module. More particularly, the present invention relates to a frame for solar module.
  • 2. Description of Related Art
  • The increasing scarcity and the realization of the ecological and safety problems associated with non-renewable energy resources such as coal, petroleum and uranium, have made it essential that increased use be made of alternate non-depletable energy resources such as solar energy. Solar energy use has been limited in the past to special applications due in part to the high cost of manufacturing devices capable of producing significant amounts of photovoltaic energy. The improvement in manufacturing technology for fabricating the solar panel in mass production has greatly promoted the use of solar energy.
  • Significant environmental benefits are also realized from solar energy production, for example, reduction in air pollution from burning fossil fuels, reduction in water and land use from power generation plants, and reduction in the storage of waste byproducts. Solar energy produces no noise, and has few moving components.
  • The solar module mainly includes a solar panel and a frame to fix the solar panel within. The efficiency and the reliability of assembly of the solar module would be decided by the structure of the frame. Therefore, there is a need to design the frame of the solar module, which can improve the efficiency and the reliability of assembly of the solar module.
