Abstract

The present invention concerns a photovoltaic installation characterised by the fact that it comprises a plurality of photovoltaic panels arranged dihedrally, each dihedron (4) being intended to be positioned on a roof of a building in such a way that the dihedral angle is intended to form a projection angle disposed opposite said roof (7) and forms, with the roof (7), an air duct configured to receive and allow the circulation of air from the building, or indeed other air, whereof the temperature will be: in winter higher than the melting temperature of snow or frost and ice; in summer lower than that of the air outside the dihedron. The invention can be applied to high altitude regions where the sunshine and radiation levels are greater and where the efficiency of photovoltaic panels is greater, eliminating the drawbacks and uncertainties of snow cover, which acts as an obstacle thereto.

Description

« Installation photovoltaïque adaptée à l'altitude »  "Photovoltaic installation adapted to altitude"
La présente invention concerne une installation photovoltaïque adaptée à une utilisation en montagne. The present invention relates to a photovoltaic installation suitable for use in the mountains.
L'invention trouvera son application dans les régions d'altitude où l'ensoleillement permet l'utilisation de panneaux photovoltaïques mais où l'enneigement fait obstacle à l'utilisation de cette technologie.  The invention will find its application in high-altitude areas where sunshine allows the use of photovoltaic panels but where snow is an obstacle to the use of this technology.
L'exploitation de l'énergie photovoltaïque se développe de manière croissante pour tenter de trouver des énergies renouvelables alternatives à l'énergie fossile.  The exploitation of photovoltaic energy is growing in an attempt to find alternative renewable energies to fossil energy.
Le choix de l'emplacement des panneaux photovoltaïques doit être étudié pour obtenir un rendement satisfaisant. Le rendement des panneaux photovoltaïques est fonction de l'ensoleillement et du rayonnement. Or l'ensoleillement, soit le nombre d'heures de soleil, et le rayonnement en joules par cm2, augmentent avec l'altitude. The choice of the location of the photovoltaic panels must be studied to obtain satisfactory performance. The performance of photovoltaic panels is a function of sunlight and radiation. Sunlight, the number of hours of sunlight, and radiation in joules per cm 2 , increases with altitude.
Il est donc très intéressant d'envisager la mise en place de panneaux photovoltaïques en altitude.  It is therefore very interesting to consider the installation of photovoltaic panels at altitude.
A ce jour, ce type d'exploitation n'est cependant pas envisagé car la neige et le givre présents en altitude tendent à recouvrir les panneaux photovoltaïques une large période de l'année engendrant une perte nette de rendement qui empêche ce type d'installation d'être rentable. Il existe donc le besoin de proposer une installation photovoltaïque adaptée aux conditions climatiques d'altitude. To date, this type of operation is not envisaged because the snow and the frost present at altitude tend to cover the photovoltaic panels a broad period of the year generating a net loss of yield which prevents this type of installation to be profitable. There is therefore the need to propose a photovoltaic installation adapted to climatic conditions of altitude.
A cet effet, la présente invention concerne une installation de panneaux photovoltaïques où les panneaux sont disposés en dièdre. Le dièdre, plus précisément l'angle saillant du dièdre, fait face à un toit ou à une base où l'installation est montée. Les panneaux forment ainsi, avec le toit ou la base, un conduit où débouche une arrivée d'air. L'air est issu préférentiellement d'un bâtiment sur lequel l'installation est montée. Avantageusement, l'air est issu de l'intérieur du bâtiment. Le conduit formé par les panneaux photovoltaïques positionnés en dièdre est configuré pour permettre une circulation d'air sous les panneaux et limiter l'accumulation de neige et/ou de givre sur les panneaux photovoltaïques. La forme du dièdre favorise la chute de la neige et avantageusement l'air y circulant amène un réchauffement général des panneaux photovoltaïques entraînant la fonte de la neige et/ou du givre. Cette configuration est intéressante car elle permet de limiter l'accumulation de neige sur les panneaux. Il est en effet préféré de limiter la pose et l'accumulation de la neige et/ou du givre plutôt que de tenter de faire fondre ce qui s'est accumulé.  For this purpose, the present invention relates to an installation of photovoltaic panels where the panels are arranged in dihedron. The dihedron, more precisely the salient angle of the dihedron, faces a roof or a base where the installation is mounted. The panels thus form, with the roof or the base, a duct where an air inlet opens. The air is preferentially derived from a building on which the installation is mounted. Advantageously, the air comes from inside the building. The duct formed by the photovoltaic panels positioned in dihedral is configured to allow air circulation under the panels and limit the accumulation of snow and / or frost on the photovoltaic panels. The shape of the dihedral favors the fall of the snow and advantageously the air circulating there brings a general warming of the photovoltaic panels causing the melting of snow and / or frost. This configuration is interesting because it limits the accumulation of snow on the panels. It is indeed preferred to limit the laying and accumulation of snow and / or frost rather than trying to melt what has accumulated.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, l'air est issu d'une ventilation mécanique contrôlée, ou VMC, ou du chauffage hors-gel d'un bâtiment, préférentiellement du bâtiment sur lequel est placée l'installation photovoltaïque. L'air issu de la ventilation est avantageusement à une température supérieure à la température ambiante extérieure hivernale.  According to a preferred embodiment, the air comes from a controlled mechanical ventilation, or VMC, or frost heating of a building, preferably the building on which the photovoltaic installation is placed. The air resulting from the ventilation is advantageously at a temperature higher than the winter outdoor ambient temperature.

Les figures 5 à 8 illustrent plusieurs exemples non limitatifs du dièdre formé par les panneaux photovoltaïques selon l'invention.  Figures 5 to 8 illustrate several non-limiting examples of the dihedron formed by the photovoltaic panels according to the invention.
L'installation photovoltaïque selon l'invention comprend au moins deux panneaux photovoltaïques 1 avantageusement disposés en dièdre 4.  The photovoltaic installation according to the invention comprises at least two photovoltaic panels 1 advantageously arranged in dihedron 4.
Préférentiellement, l'installation comprend une pluralité de panneaux photovoltaïques 1 agencés les uns par rapport aux autres pour former avec une base un conduit 2. Les panneaux 1 sont positionnés en dièdre 4 avantageusement sur une base. Le dièdre 4 est orienté de sorte que l'angle saillant du dièdre 3 soit face à la base. Le conduit 2 prend ainsi une forme triangulaire dans laquelle deux côtés sont constitués de panneaux photovoltaïquesl , le troisième côté étant formé par la base.  Preferably, the installation comprises a plurality of photovoltaic panels 1 arranged with respect to one another to form a duct 2 with a base. The panels 1 are positioned in a dihedral 4 advantageously on a base. The dihedron 4 is oriented so that the projecting angle of the dihedron 3 is facing the base. The duct 2 thus takes a triangular shape in which two sides consist of photovoltaic panels 1, the third side being formed by the base.
Le conduit 2 s'étend selon une direction principale et présente selon une coupe transversale à cette direction principale, une forme de triangle, par exemple de triangle isocèle, dont les côtés de même longueur sont formés par au moins deux panneaux photovoltaïques 1 réunis à leur sommet et dont l'autre côté est formé par la base.  The duct 2 extends in a main direction and has, in a section transverse to this main direction, a triangle shape, for example an isosceles triangle, whose sides of the same length are formed by at least two photovoltaic panels 1 joined to their top and whose other side is formed by the base.
Cette configuration en dièdre des panneaux photovoltaïques facilite l'écoulement de l'eau et de la neige pouvant s'y poser.  This dihedral configuration of photovoltaic panels facilitates the flow of water and snow that can settle there.
Avantageusement, cette forme de dièdre augmente la surface de panneaux photovoltaïques 1 pour une surface de base donnée. Le rendement de l'installation photovoltaïque selon l'invention est ainsi amélioré.  Advantageously, this dihedral shape increases the area of photovoltaic panels 1 for a given base area. The efficiency of the photovoltaic installation according to the invention is thus improved.
L'installation photovoltaïque 1 est montée sur une base 18 préférentiellement placée au dessus d'un plénum 16. Cette base 18, ou plénum 16, peut être disposée sur un toit 7 d'un bâtiment que ce soit à usage d'habitation, industriel, d'une cabane...  The photovoltaic installation 1 is mounted on a base 18 preferably placed above a plenum 16. This base 18, or plenum 16, can be disposed on a roof 7 of a building whether for residential use, industrial , a cabin ...
Le conduit 2 comprend une première extrémité 9 et une deuxième extrémité 10. Une des deux extrémités 9, 10 est au moins partiellement obstruée, préférentiellement totalement obstruée et l'autre extrémité est débouchante.  The conduit 2 comprises a first end 9 and a second end 10. One of the two ends 9, 10 is at least partially obstructed, preferably completely obstructed and the other end is open.
Avantageusement, le conduit 2 comprend une arrivée d'air 8. Préférentiellement, l'air 5 débouche et circule dans le conduit 2 par l'arrivée d'air 8.  Advantageously, the duct 2 comprises an air inlet 8. Preferably, the air 5 opens and circulates in the duct 2 through the air inlet 8.
Il est préféré que l'arrivée d'air 8 soit agencée à proximité de l'extrémité obstruée 10 de manière que l'air 5 injecté dans le conduit 2 parcourt la plus grande longueur possible jusqu'à un moyen d'évacuation. Le moyen d'évacuation d'air est agencé préférentiellement au niveau de la première extrémité 9 qui est avantageusement débouchante. L'air 5 est préférentiellement issu du bâtiment adjacent à l'installation ou sur lequel elle est directement montée. Le bâtiment définit un volume intérieur dont l'air 5 est préférentiellement issu. L'air 5 issu du bâtiment, plus précisément de l'intérieur du bâtiment, est réchauffé. It is preferred that the air inlet 8 be arranged near the obstructed end 10 so that the air injected into the conduit 2 travels as far as possible to an evacuation means. The air evacuation means is preferably arranged at the first end 9 which is advantageously open. The air 5 is preferably from the building adjacent to the installation or on which it is directly mounted. The building defines an interior volume from which air 5 is preferentially derived. The air 5 coming from the building, more precisely from inside the building, is warmed up.
L'air 5 est préférentiellement utilisé pour contrôler la température des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 , ca r e n altitude pendant la période hivernale, les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 risquent couramment d'être recouverts de givre et/ou de neige limitant fortement l'utilisation de l'installation photovoltaïque.  The air 5 is preferably used to control the temperature of the photovoltaic panels 1, ca ren altitude during the winter period, the photovoltaic panels 1 may commonly be covered with frost and / or snow greatly limiting the use of the installation photovoltaic.
Il est donc primordial de limiter l'accumulation de givre et/ou de neige. A cet effet, l'air 5 est avantageusement à une température différente de la température ambiante extérieure au conduit 2. Par exemple, pendant l'hiver, dès les premières gelées nocturnes, l'air 5 est à une température supérieu re à la température ambiante extérieure. Préférentiellement, l'air 5 est à une température au-dessus d'une température-seuil où la neige et le givre risquent de s'accumuler sur les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 .  It is therefore essential to limit the accumulation of frost and / or snow. For this purpose, the air 5 is advantageously at a temperature different from the ambient temperature outside the pipe 2. For example, during the winter, from the first night frosts, the air 5 is at a temperature above the temperature outdoor ambient. Preferably, the air 5 is at a temperature above a threshold temperature where snow and ice can accumulate on the photovoltaic panels 1.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, en été également, l'air 5 contrôle la température des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 cette fois ci en étant à une température inférieure à la température ambiante extérieure au conduit 2.  According to a preferred embodiment, also in summer, the air 5 controls the temperature of the photovoltaic panels 1, this time being at a temperature below the ambient temperature outside the duct 2.
L'installation selon l'invention est particulièrement efficace lorsque les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 ne présentent pas d'isolation sur leurs faces tournées vers l'intérieur du conduit 2, aussi dénommées faces internes des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 . De cette manière, l'échange thermique entre l'air 5 et les panneaux photovoltaïques 4 est plutôt optimal.  The installation according to the invention is particularly effective when the photovoltaic panels 1 do not have insulation on their faces turned towards the inside of the duct 2, also called internal faces of the photovoltaic panels 1. In this way, the heat exchange between the air 5 and the photovoltaic panels 4 is rather optimal.
Les pan neaux photovoltaïques 1 sont configu rés pou r transmettre leu r échauffement dû à leur fonctionnement à l'air 5 circulant dans le circuit 2. Ceci permet de réchauffer l'air du conduit 2.  The photovoltaic panels 1 are configured to transmit their heating due to their operation to the air flowing in the circuit 2. This allows to heat the air duct 2.
Selon une possibilité, l'air issu du bâtiment est amené dans le conduit 2 au moyen d'une ventilation.  According to one possibility, the air coming from the building is brought into the duct 2 by means of ventilation.
La ventilation expulsant l'air 5 dans le conduit 2 peut être une ventilation classique avec contrôle de la température de l'air 5 ou avantageusement c'est une ventilation mécaniquement contrôlée (ou VMC) du bâtiment sur lequel est installée l'installation photovoltaïque. Une VMC est un ensemble de dispositifs destinés à assurer le renouvellement de l'air à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. La ventilation est également liée au système de chauffage hors-gel qui permet de maintenir les canalisations d'un bâtiment à une température supérieure à la température de gel. L'air 5 issu d'un bâtiment et injecté dans le conduit 2 d'une installation selon l'invention a donc au préalable circulé dans le bâtiment. L'air 5 est donc à une température relativement constante tout au long de l'année par exemple 20°C ± 5°C. En hiver, l'air 5 dans cette gamme de températures sera plus chaud que l'air extérieur, et avantageusement que la température des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 , permettant de chauffer les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 , empêchant ou limitant l'accumulation de givre et/ou de neige. A contrario en été, l'air 5 est avantageusement plus frais que l'air extérieur, et avantageusement que la température des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 , permettant de refroidir les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 pour limiter ou réduire leur échauffement et améliorant également le rendement de l'installation. The ventilation expelling the air 5 in the duct 2 can be a conventional ventilation with control of the air temperature 5 or advantageously it is a mechanically controlled ventilation (or VMC) of the building on which the photovoltaic installation is installed. A VMC is a set of devices intended to ensure the renewal of the air inside a building. Ventilation is also linked to the frost-free heating system, which keeps a building's pipes at a temperature above the freezing temperature. Air 5 from a building and injected into the duct 2 of an installation according to the invention has therefore previously circulated in the building. The air 5 is therefore at a relatively constant temperature throughout the year, for example 20 ° C ± 5 ° C. In winter, the air 5 in this temperature range will be hotter than the outside air, and advantageously the temperature of the photovoltaic panels 1, for heating the photovoltaic panels 1, preventing or limiting the accumulation of frost and / or of snow. In contrast in summer, the air 5 is advantageously cooler than the outside air, and advantageously the temperature of the photovoltaic panels 1, for cooling the photovoltaic panels 1 to limit or reduce their heating and also improving the performance of the installation.
La base 18, placée par exemple sur le toit 7 et formant la base du conduit 2 est un isolant, par exemple un multi-plis en bois et/ou polyuréthane. La base 18 est avantageusement étanche à l'air ou à l'eau.  The base 18, placed for example on the roof 7 and forming the base of the conduit 2 is an insulator, for example a multi-ply wood and / or polyurethane. The base 18 is advantageously airtight or watertight.
Le plénum 16, espace dans lequel de l'air est présent, est avantageusement isolé thermiquement pour limiter les échanges thermiques avec le bâtiment plus particulièrement lorsque le bâtiment est à usage d'habitation.  The plenum 16, space in which air is present, is advantageously thermally insulated to limit the heat exchange with the building more particularly when the building is for residential use.
De préférence, le conduit 2 est configuré pour être étanche à l'eau et l'air hormis l'extrémité débouchante 9 et l'arrivée d'air 8. Pour cela, les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 sont assemblés les uns aux autres par le sommet du dièdre 4 par des moyens de fixation 15 créant une étanchéité à l'air et à l'eau. L'étanchéité doit se faire vis-à-vis de l'eau extérieure au conduit 2 pour limiter toute entrée d'eau dans le conduit 2 tandis que l'étanchéité à l'air se fait vis-à-vis de l'air circulant 5 dans le conduit 2 pour que celui-ci s'évacue uniquement par le moyen d'évacuation. Chaque pan du dièdre 4 peut être formé d'un ou plusieurs panneaux photovoltaïques 1 également préférentiellement assemblés les uns aux autres par des moyens de fixation étanches à l'air et à l'eau.  Preferably, the duct 2 is configured to be watertight and air-free except the outlet end 9 and the air inlet 8. For this, the photovoltaic panels 1 are assembled to each other by the top of the dihedron 4 by fixing means 15 creating a seal to air and water. Sealing must be done vis-à-vis the external water duct 2 to limit any entry of water into the duct 2 while the airtightness is vis-à-vis the air circulating 5 in the conduit 2 so that it evacuated only by the evacuation means. Each corner of the dihedron 4 may be formed of one or more photovoltaic panels 1 also preferably assembled to each other by airtight and water-proof fastening means.
Le dièdre 4 est fixé sur la base 18, plus généralement sur le toit 7. Chaque pan du dièdre 4 est fixé en partie inférieure par un moyen de fixation 15 étanche à l'air et à l'eau.  The dihedron 4 is fixed on the base 18, more generally on the roof 7. Each section of the dihedron 4 is fixed in the lower part by an airtight and watertight fastening means.
Selon une possibilité avantageuse, l'installation comprend des moyens d'isolation thermique 1 4 d isposés entre les moyens de fixation 15 et les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 . Le moyen d'isolation 14 avantageusement placé dans les angles du dièdre 4 est préférentiellement en polyuréthane.  According to an advantageous possibility, the installation comprises thermal insulation means 1 4 between the fixing means 15 and the photovoltaic panels 1. The insulation means 14 advantageously placed in the corners of the dihedron 4 is preferably made of polyurethane.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le conduit 2 de l'installation est incliné. Préférentiellement, l'extrémité obstruée 10 est placée à un niveau de hauteur inférieur à celui de l'extrémité débouchante 9. L'inclinaison du conduit 2 favorise la circulation de l'air 5 dans le conduit 2 puisque l'air 5 le plus chaud a tendance à s'élever en altitude. L'air 5 qui arrive de l'arrivée d'air 8, disposée avantageusement au plus proche de l'extrémité obstruée 10, chemine naturellement en direction de l'extrémité débouchante 9 qui est à un niveau de hauteur supérieur. L'air 5 agit ainsi sur l'ensemble de la longueur du conduit 2. According to a preferred embodiment, the conduit 2 of the installation is inclined. Preferably, the obstructed end 10 is placed at a level of height lower than that of the open end 9. The inclination of the duct 2 promotes the circulation of the air 5 in the duct 2 since the hottest air 5 tends to rise in altitude. The air 5 which arrives from the air inlet 8, advantageously disposed as close as possible to the obstructed end 10, travels naturally towards the emergent end 9 which is at a higher height level. The air 5 thus acts on the entire length of the duct 2.
Selon une possibilité préférée, l'extrémité débouchante 9 comprend une portion inférieure 12 obstruée, au plus près de la base, du toit 7, du plénum 16 et une portion supérieure 1 1 débouchante. La portion supérieure 1 1 est située au niveau du sommet du dièdre 4 tandis que la portion inférieure 12 est située à la base du dièdre 4.  According to a preferred possibility, the open end 9 comprises a lower portion 12 obstructed, closer to the base, the roof 7, the plenum 16 and an upper portion 1 1 opening. The upper portion 1 1 is located at the top of the dihedron 4 while the lower portion 12 is located at the base of the dihedron 4.
A titre préféré, le moyen d'évacuation disposé au niveau de l'extrémité débouchante 9 du conduit 2 comprend une pièce obstruant la portion supérieure 1 1 de l'extrémité débouchante 9 et laissant la portion inférieure 12 débouchante. Le moyen d'évacuation oriente la circulation d'air de sorte que l'air passe d'abord par la portion inférieure 12 puis reste vers la portion supérieure 1 1 .  Preferably, the discharge means disposed at the open end 9 of the duct 2 comprises a piece obstructing the upper portion 1 1 of the open end 9 and leaving the lower portion 12 open. The evacuation means orients the air flow so that the air first passes through the lower portion 12 and then remains towards the upper portion 1 January.
A titre d'exemple, la pièce obstruante est en polyuréthane. De même, l'extrémité obstruée 10 est obstruée par une pièce en polyuréthane.  For example, the obstructing piece is polyurethane. Similarly, the obstructed end 10 is obstructed by a polyurethane part.
Cette disposition de la pièce obstruant partiellement l'extrémité débouchante 9 dans la portion supérieure 1 1 permet de maintenir l'air 5 dans le conduit 2 tant que sa tem pératu re n 'a pas ch uté et q u 'i l est donc uti le à réchauffer les pa n neaux photovoltaïques 1 .  This arrangement of the part partially obstructing the open end 9 in the upper portion 1 1 makes it possible to maintain the air 5 in the duct 2 as long as its temperature has not fallen and is therefore used in heat the photovoltaic areas 1.
En effet, l'air 5 arrivant au niveau de l'extrémité débouchante 9 est bloqué par la pièce obstruante dans la portion supérieure 1 1 du conduit 2. L'air 5 se refroidit progressivement et tend à s'abaisser en altitude dans le conduit 2, il peut alors s'échapper par la portion inférieure 1 1 de l'extrémité débouchante 9.  Indeed, the air 5 arriving at the outlet end 9 is blocked by the obstructing part in the upper portion 1 1 of the duct 2. The air 5 cools gradually and tends to lower in altitude in the duct 2, it can then escape through the lower portion 1 1 of the open end 9.
La variation de température entre l'air 5 situé en portion supérieure 12 et l'air 5 s'échappant par la portion inférieure 1 1 est de l'ordre de 2 à 4° C.  The temperature variation between the air 5 located in the upper portion 12 and the air 5 escaping through the lower portion 11 is of the order of 2 to 4 ° C.
Comme illustré en figure 3, la pièce obstruante a préférentiellement une forme complémentaire au sommet du dièdre 4 et comprend un pan incliné en direction du sommet du dièdre 4 et du sommet du conduit 2 en partie inférieure de sorte à accompagner l'évacuation de l'air 5. Il est préféré dans ce cas de placer une plaque de protection 17 à l'extrémité débouchante 9 du conduit 2 pour limiter les intrusions d'air et d'eau  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the obstructing piece preferably has a shape complementary to the top of the dihedron 4 and comprises an inclined face towards the top of the dihedron 4 and the top of the duct 2 at the bottom part so as to accompany the evacuation of the air 5. It is preferred in this case to place a protective plate 17 at the open end 9 of the duct 2 to limit the intrusions of air and water
En ce qui concerne l'inclinaison du conduit 2, il est préféré que l'extrémité débouchante 9 la plus haute soit orientée vers le nord tandis que l'extrémité obstruée 10, la plus basse des deux extrémités, soit orientée vers le sud. Cette orientation augment l'exposition de l'installation et donc son rendement. L'inclinaison du conduit 2 est avantageusement comprise entre 10° et 45° par rapport à l'horizontale. Regarding the inclination of the duct 2, it is preferred that the highest outlet end 9 is oriented towards the north while the obstructed end 10, the lower end of the two ends, is oriented towards the south. This orientation increases the exposure of the installation and therefore its performance. The inclination of the duct 2 is advantageously between 10 ° and 45 ° relative to the horizontal.
Selon l'invention, l'inclinaison et l'orientation du conduit 2 peuvent être distinctes de celles du toit 7 sur lequel l'installation est placée.  According to the invention, the inclination and the orientation of the duct 2 can be distinct from those of the roof 7 on which the installation is placed.
L'an gl e d i èd re 3 est étu d ié en fonction d es con d ition s cl i matiq u es et géographiques de l'installation. Les angles de base du conduit 2, soit les deux autres angles du conduit 2 complémentaire à l'angle dièdre 3 saillant, peuvent être ou non identiques. Les angles sont avantageusement compris entre 20° et 60° . I ls sont préférentiellement déterminés selon l'inclinaison du conduit 2.  The third year is based on the con fl icting and geographic con ditions of the facility. The base angles of the duct 2, the other two angles of the duct 2 complementary to the dihedral angle 3 salient, may or may not be identical. The angles are advantageously between 20 ° and 60 °. They are preferably determined according to the inclination of the duct 2.
Les dimensions des panneaux photovoltaïques peuvent être différentes entre les conduits 2 ainsi qu'entre les deux pans d'un dièdre.  The dimensions of the photovoltaic panels may be different between the ducts 2 and between the two sides of a dihedron.
L'installation peut comprendre plusieurs conduits 2 qui peuvent chacun avoir une inclinaison et une forme de dièdre adaptée.  The installation may comprise several ducts 2 which may each have an inclination and a form of dihedron adapted.
Lorsque plusieurs conduits 2 sont disposés sur un toit, l'installation comprend avantageusement des chéneaux 13 placés entre les cond u its 2 pou r faci liter l'écoulement de l'eau et/ou de la neige fondue. Les chéneaux 13 sont par exemple formés par une plaque métallique faisant la jonction entre un pan de chaque dièdre 4 de sorte à récupérer l'eau s'écoulant sur chacun des pans.  When several ducts 2 are arranged on a roof, the installation advantageously comprises gutters 13 placed between the cond u icts 2 to r smooth the flow of water and / or slush. The gutters 13 are for example formed by a metal plate joining a section of each dihedron 4 so as to recover the water flowing on each of the sides.
Préférentiellement, les chéneaux 13 sont formés par le moyen de fixation des pans du dièdre. Le moyen de fixation de deux pans adjacents de deux dièdres consécutifs permet simultanément l'assemblage des pans au toit et la formation d'un chéneau 13. Le moyen de fixation est alors formé par une pièce présentant une forme en « U » évasée.  Preferably, the gutters 13 are formed by the fastening means of the dihedral sections. The means for fixing two adjacent sections of two consecutive dihedrums simultaneously allows the assembly of the roof panels and the formation of a gut 13. The fastening means is then formed by a piece having a flared "U" shape.
Selon une possibilité, le plénum 16 est disposé sur des poutres porteuses 6 préférentiellement s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculaire et dans un plan parallèle au conduit 2.  According to one possibility, the plenum 16 is disposed on carrier beams 6 preferably extending substantially perpendicular and in a plane parallel to the duct 2.
Les panneaux photovoltaïques 1 sont eux-mêmes soumis à de fortes variations de température allant de +50°C à -50°C. Il est donc préféré d'utiliser des panneaux photovoltaïques 1 monocristallins. REFERENCES The photovoltaic panels 1 are themselves subjected to strong temperature variations ranging from + 50 ° C to -50 ° C. It is therefore preferred to use monocrystalline photovoltaic panels 1. REFERENCES
