Abstract

A frame for a photovoltaic solar module comprises an edge region that is uncovered and/or covered by functioning elements of the solar module. A shaped upper leg of the frame extends over at least the whole breadth of the module.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rahmen für ein photovoltaisches Solarmodul, dessen Randbereich unbeschichtet und/oder mit Funktionselementen des Solarmoduls belegt ist.The The invention relates to a frame for a photovoltaic solar module, its edge area uncoated and / or with functional elements of the solar module is occupied.

Solarmodule bestehen typischerweise aus elektrisch aktiven Elementen (Wafern, Dünnschichtsystem etc.), die zum Schutz vor Witterung zwischen zwei Glasscheiben oder einer Glasscheibe und einer Folie eingeschlossen werden. Dieser Verbund wird üblicherweise in einem aus Aluminium bestehenden Rahmen eingesetzt, um einen mechanischen Kantenschutz zu erreichen und die aktiven Elemente vor Witterungseinflüssen zu schützen, siehe beispielsweise die DE 197 33 913 A1 .Solar modules typically consist of electrically active elements (wafers, thin-film system, etc.) which are enclosed between two glass panes or a glass pane and a foil for protection against weathering. This composite is commonly used in an aluminum frame to provide mechanical edge protection and protect the active elements from the effects of the weather, see, for example, US Pat DE 197 33 913 A1 ,

Bei vielen Solarmodulen sind im Randbereich Verschaltungselemente, Kontaktbänder oder andere Elemente untergebracht, die den gleichmäßigen äußeren Eindruck des Solarmoduls stören würden. Im Randbereich werden daher bisher Folien, zum Beispiel ein Selbstklebeband in der Farbe der Moduloberfläche oder selbstklebend beschichtete, eloxierte Aluminiumstreifen, eingesetzt, die diese Elemente abdecken, um einen ästhetischeren Gesamteindruck des Solarmoduls zu erlangen.at many solar modules are in the edge area wiring elements, contact strips or other Housed elements that give the uniform external impression of the solar module to disturb would. So far in the edge area are films, for example, a self-adhesive tape in the color of the module surface or self-adhesive coated, anodized aluminum strips, used, which cover these elements for a more aesthetic overall impression of the solar module.

Nachteilig ist, dass durch das Einbringen der Abdeckmaterialien ein zusätzlicher Prozessschritt entsteht, der die Kosten erhöht. Zudem ist die UV-Stabilität der meisten Abdeckmaterialien gering, so dass sich die Farbe der Materialien mit der Zeit verändert.adversely is that by introducing the covering materials an additional Process step arises, which increases the cost. In addition, the UV stability of most Covering materials low, so that the color of the materials changed over time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den Randbereich eines Solarmoduls so zu gestalten, dass er ohne einen zusätzlichen Prozessschritt abgedeckt wird.Of the Invention is based on the object, the edge region of a solar module to be designed so that it is covered without an additional process step becomes.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1.According to the invention Task solved by the features of claim 1.

Danach wird das Solarmodul in einen Rahmen eingesetzt, dessen oberer Profilschenkel sich mindestens über den gesamten Randbereich des Solarmoduls erstreckt und diesen abdeckt.After that the solar module is inserted into a frame whose upper profile leg at least over extends the entire edge region of the solar module and covers this.

Der Rahmen kann aus Aluminium, Polyurethan oder einem anderen Metall oder Kunststoff gefertigt werden und besteht aus einem U- oder E-Profil.Of the Frame can be made of aluminum, polyurethane or another metal or plastic are made and consists of a U- or E-profile.

Die Lösung hat den Vorteil, dass der Randbereich des Solarmoduls nicht durch Folien oder andere Materialien abgedeckt werden muss bzw., wenn solche Folien doch eingesetzt werden, dass diese durch den oberen Profilschenkel des Rahmens abgeschattet werden und so keinem optischen Verschleiß unterliegen.The solution has the advantage that the edge region of the solar module is not through Foils or other materials must be covered or, if such Slides can still be used that through the upper profile legs Shadowed the frame and so are not subject to optical wear.

Die ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellende Zeichnung zeigt einen Rahmen aus einem Aluminiumprofil.The an embodiment illustrative drawing shows a frame made of an aluminum profile.

Das Aluminiumprofil hat die Form eines E, das zwischen einem oberen Profilschenkel 1 und einem mittleren Profilschenkel 2 ein Solarmodul aufnimmt, das aus einem Substratglas 3 und einem Abdeckglas 4 besteht. Auf dem Substratglas 3 ist die photovoltaisch aktive Beschichtung aufgebracht. Substratglas 3 und Abdeckglas 4 sind miteinander laminiert.The aluminum profile has the shape of an E between an upper profile leg 1 and a middle profile leg 2 a solar module receives, which consists of a substrate glass 3 and a cover glass 4 consists. On the substrate glass 3 the photovoltaically active coating is applied. substrate glass 3 and cover glass 4 are laminated together.

In seinem Randbereich ist das Substratglas 3 entschichtet. Der Randbereich dient dann zum Beispiel zum Verlegen von Kontaktbändern, mit denen der erzeugte Strom zu einer rückwärtig angebrachten Kontaktbox geleitet wird. Der Randbereich erstreckt sich etwa über eine Breite, die gleich der Breite eines unteren Profilschenkels 5 des Rahmens ist. Der obere Profilschenkel 1 ist deshalb mindestens so breit, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel breiter, als die untere Profilleiste 5 (mindestens 10 mm).In its edge area is the substrate glass 3 stripped. The edge area then serves, for example, for laying contact bands, with which the power generated is conducted to a rear-mounted contact box. The edge region extends approximately over a width equal to the width of a lower profile leg 5 of the frame. The upper profile leg 1 is therefore at least as wide, in the embodiment shown wider than the lower profile strip 5 (at least 10 mm).

Der Zwischenraum zwischen dem Rahmen und dem Substratglas 3 sowie dem Abdeckglas 4 wird mit einer Versiegelungsmasse 6 ausgefüllt. Eine Abdeckung des Randbereiches durch eine Folie oder durch ein ähnliches Material kann mit dieser Lösung entfallen.The space between the frame and the substrate glass 3 as well as the cover glass 4 comes with a sealant 6 filled. A cover of the edge region by a foil or by a similar material can be omitted with this solution.

Durch die größere Breite der Profilschenkel 1 und 2 wird außerdem ein höherer Kriechweg gegenüber Feuchtigkeit bereitgestellt, die eventuell im Verlauf der Lebenszeit des Solarmoduls am Rand eindringen kann.Due to the larger width of the profile legs 1 and 2 In addition, a higher moisture creepage path is provided, which may eventually penetrate the rim over the life of the solar module.
