Definitions
- the invention relates to a solar module with at least one photovoltaic element for generating electricity and at least one profile with at least one arranged in its interior ren channel, which is intended to be flowed through by a fluid, in particular a heat transfer medium, as well as on a so formed solar unit.
- Solar modules with photovoltaic elements for converting solar energy into electrical energy have a relatively low efficiency.
- the spectrum of sunlight mainly produces thermal energy, which heats the solar modules
- the efficiency of photovoltaic elements decreases with increasing temperature. It is known to cool photovoltaic elements by means of a flowing fluid and to use the dissipated heat targeted, for example, for heating rooms or for the preparation of hot water.
- the electrical efficiency of the photovoltaic elements is increased by their cooling, on the other hand, the overall efficiency of the solar modules is further improved by the use of thermal energy. Examples of such devices are shown in EP 0 971 419 A and DE 199 14 079 A.
- photovoltaic elements are connected to a profile which in its interior has flow channels for a heat transfer fluid, wherein the profile is preferably made of glass, since glass has a comparable thermal expansion as the photovoltaic element.
- the photovoltaic elements usually show a significantly lower thermal expansion, so that materials must be combined that have at least partially opposite properties.
- the present invention has for its object to propose a solar module in which the photovoltaic elements are protected from overloading by thermal expansion and also has a good overall efficiency.
- This object of the invention is achieved in that between the photovoltaic element and the profile a carrier layer is arranged.
- the carrier layer can prevent the direct influence of the change in length of the profile due to the temperature increase on the photovoltaic element (s), since the carrier layer can act as a "buffer", so that the photovoltaic (s) may act as a buffer ) Element (s) is (are) better protected.
- the carrier layer has a thermal conductivity which lies between that of the photovoltaic element and the profile, as a result of which any mechanical stresses which may occur in the solar module can be better controlled.
- the carrier layer may be formed by a carbon fiber layer or carbon fiber composite layer. Due to the very low thermal expansion coefficient of the carbon fiber layer, the transmission of tensile forces from the profile to the fracture-risk photovoltaic elements is avoided. Due to the very good heat conduction properties of the carbon fiber layer, the heat transport from the photovoltaic elements to the heat transfer fluid-carrying profile and thus the cooling of the photovoltaic elements are promoted. Finally, due to its black color, the carbon fiber layer absorbs a large part of the part of the spectrum of the sunlight penetrating the photovoltaic elements and conducts the resulting heat to the profile, which further improves the thermal efficiency of the solar module.
- the carrier layer can also be formed by other materials, in particular composite materials, for example by ceramic layers, in particular fiber-reinforced.
- the carrier layer may be reinforced by SiC, Al 2 O 3 , layers having a matrix of carbon or SiC or Al 2 O 3 reinforced with fibers of SiC or Al 2 O 3 such as C / SiC or SiC / SiC or Al 2 O 3 / Al 2 O 3 , wherein the first material forms the matrix and the second material forms the fibers, be formed.
- the fibers may also have a coating, eg with BN or C, in order to improve their sliding properties and thus to prevent the risk of breakage of ceramic carrier layers.
- the carbon fiber composite layer may be made of a mat of carbon fiber into which at least one thermoplastic resin has been woven, which liquefies upon heating and thus at least partially embeds the carbon fibers to form a continuous layer.
- at least one thermoplastic resin has been woven, which liquefies upon heating and thus at least partially embeds the carbon fibers to form a continuous layer.
- several of these layers can be superimposed and connected to a resin in a press at about 180 ° C. It is thus a lighter yet stable material as a carrier layer available.
- the carbon fiber layer may be a fabric.
- a fabric made of carbon fibers is mechanically very resistant and easy to assemble.
- Another advantage is an embodiment in which the carbon fiber layer is a nonwoven.
- a fleece made of carbon fibers is well suited to bridging unevenness, for example of the profile.
- the carrier layer is connected to the profile and / or the photovoltaic element by means of an adhesive or is formed by it, it is possible to obtain a very compact and lightweight solar module, which also cost-effective can be produced because brackets, frames and the like fasteners for holding together the photovoltaic elements and the profile accounts.
- ceramic adhesive in which the resin-based adhesive contains ceramic fillers, which promote the heat transport from the photovoltaic elements to the profile and reinforce the adhesive.
- a ceramic filler can be Al 2 O 3 or TiO 2 , but filling with carbon particles, eg graphite particles, is also possible.
- the adhesive can have permanently elastic or permanently plastic properties, ie it does not harden hard, as a result of which the photovoltaic elements are "floating" on the profile and are therefore subjected to only minimal mechanical stress due to thermal expansion Have silicone.
- the photovoltaic element is preferably designed as a so-called wafer. This can be formed by a monocrystalline as well as a polycrystalline or amorphous semiconductor, it should be noted that the latter have lower efficiencies, but are much cheaper. Wafer technology provides a very lightweight solar module that can be manufactured in different sizes without major expense, with the pitch depending on the size of the wafers. The thickness of these wafers can be between 150 ⁇ m and 330 ⁇ m.
- the sun-facing surface of the wafer may be coated with an antireflective layer, e.g. made of silicon nitride, be coated so as to further increase the efficiency of the solar module.
- an antireflective layer e.g. made of silicon nitride
- recesses in particular holes, can be arranged in order to electrically contact the wafer or wafers.
- these recesses are filled with a resin. It is thus the durability of the contacts, i. the solder joints improved.
- the contacting of the wafers can also take place in accordance with the state of the art, for example via aluminum and / or silver contacts, preferably aluminum on the rear side facing the profile and silver, for example in the form of narrow fingers, as far as possible around the irradiation surface large, is placed on the front of the wafer.
- the contacts may also protrude at least partially into the wafer, ie be recessed therein, which in turn results in a larger remaining irradiation area.
- the photovoltaic element ie the semiconductor
- the profile may be made of metal, whereby a good heat transfer from the photovoltaic elements is achieved to a present in the profile heat transfer fluid.
- the metal is aluminum or an alloy of aluminum, which is known to have a high thermal conductivity. Copper or other metals, as well as their alloys gene, with high thermal conductivity but are also usable.
- the profile can be produced by the extrusion process.
- solar modules of virtually any length can be produced in a very simple manner without interruptions of the fluid-carrying channels.
- the ratio of the height of the profile to its width may be in the range of 1:15 to 1:25, or more preferably in the range of 1:18 to 1:22.
- Such solar modules are very suitable as roof or facade elements.
- the profile of the solar module can also be combined with a heat pump. It can in turn be increased, the efficiency of the solar module, since the usually existing safety shutdown of the hot water collector, for example, if the buffer is at its maximum temperature, due to constant cooling up to a temperature of about 70 ° C to 80 ° C does not trigger, causing the photovoltaic elements would perform poorly due to lack of cooling.
- the heat pump can be operated with process reversal, so it cools. In winter, it is possible to provide additional heat, e.g., heat, through this heat pump in normal process known from the prior art. for the heating, to generate. It is also possible to automatically control the switching of the process in the heat pump, e.g. thermostatic switch. If required, the heat pump can be powered by the photovoltaic elements, so that the system is self-sufficient.
- the entire solar module or related equipment, such as converters, etc., as is known from solar technology can be automated.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the fact that several solar modules are connected to a solar unit.
- the resulting advantages are that such a unit has a low profile, a low weight and a good overall efficiency.
- such a unit can be easily adapted in their length and width to the space available.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a first embodiment of the solar element.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a second embodiment of the solar element.
- FIG 3 shows a cross section through a third embodiment of the solar element.
- FIG 4 shows a cross section through a fourth embodiment of the solar element.
- Fig. 5 is a plan view of a first combination variant
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of a second combination variant.
- FIGS. 1 to 4 1 denotes a solar module which consists of a profile 2 and at least one photovoltaic element 4 arranged on the profile 2.
- the profile 3 is preferably made of metal, in particular of an aluminum alloy and has in its interior at least one channel 3, preferably a plurality of mutually parallel channels 3, which are intended to be flowed through by a heat transfer fluid.
- the profile 2 preferably has a width in a range of 45 to 175 mm and a height in a range of 3 to 7 mm. It can be produced, for example, by the extrusion process and therefore basically manufactured in almost any length.
- all known types are suitable as photovoltaic element 4, both those with polycrystalline semiconductors and those with monocrystalline semiconductors, such as, for example, silicon, germanium, semiconducting alloys, etc. Silicon wafers are preferably used.
- the semiconductors have so-called pn junctions in a manner known per se. Since this has already been described in detail in the prior art, the expert in this regard is referred to the relevant literature.
- the profile (2) i. the hollow profile, which is preferably used - there are also conventional piping etc. possible -, has a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls.
- the front wall and the rear wall may be planar and at least approximately parallel to each other.
- the two side walls are at least approximately parallel to each other and planar.
- connection for an inlet and a drain for the fluid, in particular the heat transfer medium can be provided in the two side walls.
- the inlet and the outlet can be arranged in only one of the side walls or it is also possible to arrange this inlet and / or outlet in the front wall and / or rear wall as needed.
- the profile 2 can be equipped with only one channel 3, in which the heat transfer medium flows through this, thereby absorbing the heat which arises due to the sun's radiation.
- the profile 2 is preferably formed of metal with high thermal conductivity, in particular it consists of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- the hollow profile can thus very be slightly configured, for example, have a weight selected from a range with a lower limit of 0.5 kg / m and an upper limit of 0.75 kg / m, for example, the weight can be 0.66 kg / m.
- the profile 2 can also have a fast response, so that after a short time, a correspondingly large amount of heat has been transferred.
- the clear width of the channel 3 may be selected from a range with a lower limit of 1 mm and an upper limit of 5 mm. It is thus achieved a very small flow cross section for the heat transfer medium, so that it can absorb the heat evenly from the surrounding the channel 3 front wall, the rear wall and the side walls.
- this hollow profile is produced by extrusion of aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- This has the advantage that it can produce a profile with very thin walls, which in turn allows better heat transfer from the profile to the heat transfer medium.
- the front wall and / or rear wall and / or the two side walls have a wall thickness which is selected from a range with a lower limit of 0.5 mm and an upper limit of 1.5 mm.
- the hollow profile should be self-supporting, so should have a certain strength, a reduction in wall thickness below 0.5 mm is not provided. If, however, the strength of the hollow profile is not required to this extent, for example, if around the hollow profile a kind of cage, for example in the form of a grid, constructed, which takes on the one by the strength by the carrying function and on the other hand, the hollow profile against external shock and thus protects it from deformation, can of course be within the meaning of the invention, the wall thickness less than 0.5 mm.
- this distance is further reduced, in particular assumes a value from a range with a lower Limit of 2 mm and an upper limit of 4 mm.
- this distance between the front wall and the rear wall can be 3 mm.
- the minimum distance is 1 mm. Below lying distances, ie clear widths of the profile 2, however, can be used when the pump power for the Kreislauftuhrung of the heat carrier is correspondingly high.
- the channel 3 of the profile 2 is divided into a plurality of individual channels, so that therefore at least two channels 3 are present in the profile 2. This is achieved by running between the side walls in the direction of these side walls and connecting the front wall with the rear wall at least one web. Preferably, this web is also produced simultaneously with the profile 2 by extrusion. Since the at least one web has only a limited support function, it is possible to carry out this with a smaller wall thickness, which may be selected from a range with a lower limit of 0.35 mm and an upper limit of 1 mm. Preferably, this wall thickness is selected from a range with a lower limit of 0.4 mm and an upper limit of 0.8 mm or this wall thickness can be 0.5 mm.
- a first channel 3 is used for the upward flow of the heat transfer medium and another channel 3 for the downward flow of the heat transfer medium. This extends the flow path of the heat transfer medium in the profile 2 and is thus available for a longer period of time for heat exchange.
- the webs 12 increase the heat transfer surfaces and thus improve the efficiency. This also makes it possible to give the hollow profile a higher compressive strength.
- the two side walls need not be flat, but may for example also have a curvature.
- the front wall and / or the Rear wall have such a curvature, so that, for example, the maximum distance of 5 mm between the front wall and the rear wall is achieved only in the central region of the profile 2 and in the two side regions then to the two side walls, the channels 3 have smaller clearances.
- the hollow profile may have a width selected from a range with a lower limit of 40 mm and an upper limit of 400 mm. This makes it possible to provide a plurality of channels 3 in the hollow profile in order to be able to specify a corresponding flow path of the heat transfer medium in the hollow profile.
- this width may be further selected from a range having a lower limit of 80 mm and an upper limit of 250 mm and 100 mm, respectively.
- only one channel 3 can be formed in the hollow profile.
- the adjacent channels 3 cover virtually the entire hollow profile surface. This is a very high efficiency to achieve.
- the width of the Channels 3 so the lateral distance between the webs is selected, from a range with a lower limit of 1.5 mm and an upper limit of 3.5 mm.
- An improved efficiency can be achieved by means of this cross-sectional boundary, in which the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the channel 3 relative to the heat-transferring surface over the front wall, the rear wall or the two side walls or the webs can be set appropriately low.
- the width of the channels 3 from a range with a lower limit of 2 mm and an upper limit of 3 mm or the width of the channels 3 on the order of 2.2 mm choose.
- the cross section of the channels 3 can be chosen arbitrarily, that is, for example, rectangular, square, round, trapezoidal, rhomboid, diamond-shaped or triangular.
- a carrier layer in particular a carbon fiber layer 5 is arranged between the profile 2 and the photovoltaic elements.
- Carbon fibers also called carbon fibers, are characterized by a very low thermal expansion, high mechanical strength and good thermal conductivity.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un module solaire (1) contenant au moins un élément photovoltaïque (4) et un profilé (2) à l'intérieur duquel se trouve au moins un canal (3). Le canal (3) est conçu pour être parcouru par un agent caloporteur destiné à évacuer la chaleur de l'élément photovoltaïque (4) et ainsi à éviter une réduction indésirable du rendement électrique. Afin de supprimer les contraintes mécaniques excessives qui agissent sur l'élément photovoltaïque (4) en raison de différentes dilatations thermiques de l'élément (4) et du profilé (2), une couche de support est disposée entre l'élément photovoltaïque (4) et le profilé (2).
