Definitions
- the present invention relates to a solar panel with integrated illumination arrangement, and to an illumination system comprising a solar panel.
- Solar panels are becoming an increasingly important power source and are commonly found in urban areas, often on roofs but sometimes also on walls of buildings (commonly known as BIPV, or Building Integrated Photovoltaics). In some cases, entire buildings can be covered in solar panels, making them an important part of the visual impression the building gives.
- buildings are also used to display information such as signs indicating company names and logos and also to display commercial messages in the form of advertisement, thereby limiting the wall space where solar panels can be placed.
- the solar panels themselves can of course be illuminated, sometimes by colored light to create a specific visual effect, but if advertisement or company logos or any other non-transparent elements were placed in front of the solar panels the efficiency of the solar panels would decrease dramatically due to a shadowing effect.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate or at least to minimize the problems described above. This is achieved through a solar panel according to the independent claim 1.
- the solar panel can be used to display an image to a viewer.
- the portion can be of a form corresponding to any graphic element, such as a company logo, a text or an image, and the solar panel can thus act as a sign, information display, advertisement or similar.
- the efficiency of the solar panel is lessened only marginally even if the properties of the portion of the front glass can influence the amount of absorbed light of the solar panel, compared with other panels not having said portion.
- the portion of the front glass has a rugged surface.
- the portion can cause a sharp refraction of light out of the front glass, thereby allowing the portion to be clearly visible and display a pattern.
- the rugged surface of the portion of the front glass is made by etching. Thereby, even a complicated pattern can be created on the surface of the front glass with high precision.
- the rugged surface of the portion of the front glass is made by abrasive blasting. Thereby, the pattern can be created without requiring the front glass to be loosened from the solar panel itself, i.e. after assembly.
- the portion of the front glass has a refractive index that differs from at least one other portion of the front glass.
- the portion arranged to redirect light can be created in an interior of the front glass and can thus be protected from exposure to wear and tear caused by rain, snow, ice or dirt on the surface of the panel.
- placing the portion in the front glass will not cause dirt and particle collection, as is sometimes the case when the portion is located on the surface of the front glass and that might cause shadowing of the solar panel and lower conversion efficiency.
- the light source is a plurality of LEDs that are arranged in a frame that runs along at least one side or edge of the solar panel.
- the arrangement further comprises a control unit for controlling power generated by the solar panel and power supply to the light source and energy storage means arranged to receive and store energy from the solar panel and also arranged to power the light source.
- the solar panel can be arranged to power the light source, by means of the storage means, so that the solar panel can function independent of external power supplies.
- the invention can be used with all types of solar panels that have a front glass, such as CIGS, CdT, aSi, etc.
- Fig. 1 shows a side view of a solar panel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 2a shows a cross-sectional view from the side of one embodiment of the solar panel of the solar panel according to Fig. 1;
- Fig. 2b shows a cross-sectional view from the side of another embodiment of the solar panel of the solar panel according to Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of a part of the solar panel of Fig. 1;
- Fig. 4 shows an illumination system with a solar panel according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 discloses a side view of an solar panel with integrated illumination arrangement 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, with a solar panel 10 having a substrate 11, solar cells 12 grown on said substrate 11 and a translucent front glass 13 covering the solar cells 12 to protect them from dirt or damage while at the same time allowing sunlight to pass through to the solar cells 12.
- the translucent front glass 13 has a surface 14.
- a light source 20 Adjacent to the translucent front glass 13 is a light source 20, in this preferred embodiment in the form of a plurality of LEDs, arranged to emit light into the translucent front glass 13 in a direction with an angle to a normal N of the front glass 13.
- the light source 20 is arranged to emit light into the front glass 13 in a direction essentially perpendicular to the normal N.
- the light source 20 is mounted in a frame 30 that holds the light source 20 in this position in relation to the solar panel 10 and also prevents light from emitting in a direction parallel to the normal N.
- the frame 30 allows for a mounting of the solar panel 10 on a surface but it is to be noted that this can be achieved through other types of mounting devices and that the frame itself is not necessary for the solar panel 1.
- the LEDs are in one embodiment mounted in the frame 30, but could also be mounted directly on the edge of the front glass 13 itself and secured by a profile holding them against the glass or by an adhesive, for example.
- Fig. 2a shows the solar panel 10 in a cross-sectional view from the side, with the substrate 11, the solar cells 12 and the translucent front glass 13. Between the solar cells 12 and the translucent front glass 13, an adhesive layer 16 may be provided to hold the front glass 13 in place on the solar cells. Also provided in the translucent front glass 13 is a portion 15 that is arranged to redirect at least a portion of the light from the light source in a direction at an angle of less than 90° to the normal N, i.e. out of the front glass in Fig. 2a and 2b.
- redirect is used herein to indicate all phenomena that serve to alter the propagation direction of light, most notably reflecting and scattering.
- the portion 15 thus has changed light propagation properties, compared with the rest of the front glass 13, and is in one embodiment shown by Fig. 2a located on the surface 14. It can be in the form of a rugged portion or rugged surface, i.e. a portion having a significantly higher surface roughness compared to the rest of the surface 14.
- surface roughness parameter Ra of the portion 15 is 1000-2500 nm or more, and the surface roughness parameter Ra of the surface 14 is 5.0 nm.
- the portion 15 can be made by sand blasting or etching a part of the surface 14, for instance.
- Fig. 2b discloses another embodiment, where the portion 15 of the translucent front glass 13 is a portion having a different refractive index than the rest of the front glass 13.
- the portion 15 can have a refractive index of 1,5-1,6, whereas the rest of the front glass has a refractive index of 1,46 if sodalime glass is used.
- the portion 15 is in an interior of the front glass 13 and thus not located on a surface of the front glass 13, or at least not only on a surface.
- the portion 15 of the translucent front glass may be arranged on the opposite side of the front glass 13 from the embodiment shown in Fig. 2a, i.e. the portion 15 may be on a lower side facing the solar cells 12. This is advantageous in protecting the portion 15 from dirt or damage, and if an adhesive layer 16 is arranged between the front glass 13 and the solar cells 12, that adhesive layer 16 may fit onto the portion 15 in such a way that the portion 15 is hidden from view to a person watching the solar panel 1 when the light source 20 is not lit. Upon lighting the light source 20, however, the portion 15 will become visible and create the desired pattern or image as described above. Fig.
- FIG. 3 shows a part of the solar panel 1 in more detail, with a corner of the solar panel 10 having the light source 20 in the form of arrays of LEDs that are mounted along the sides of the translucent front glass 13. It is especially advantageous to provide LED arrays along at least two sides of the solar panel 10, and even more advantageous to provide LED arrays along all four sides of the solar panel 10.
- the LED arrays 20 are held by frames 30 that serve to support the light source 20, and the LEDs are provided with covers 21 that direct the light into the translucent front glass 13.
- the portion 15 is preferably formed into a pattern that corresponds to an image, a logo or a text, for instance.
- the effect of this is to render the portion 15 of the front glass 13 highly visible to an observer, meaning the image, logo or text can be seen from a distance. If the light from the light source is colored, the pattern of the portion 15 will be visible in this color, thus creating an additional visual effect.
- LEDs other types of light sources can also be used, such as neon lights for instance, or other types of light that are suitable for mounting on a solar panel.
- the pattern can alternatively be of a simpler shape, such as a rectangle or a circle, for instance, creating a pattern that is easily visible over large distances and can contribute to creating a larger pattern over an entire building where a plurality of solar panels each display a section of the pattern. Alternatively, the pattern can of course extend over the entire front glass 13 and thus display the shape of the solar panel itself.
- the portion 15 is treated to have the properties mentioned above, for instance by sand blasting or etching, this surprisingly does not significantly lower the efficiency of the solar cells 12 present underneath. Rather, the decrease in efficiency, even if the entire surface 14 of the front glass 13 is treated to create a rugged surface, is less than 2 percentage units, sometimes even less than 1 percentage unit. Thus, for a solar panel with an efficiency of about 15%, the same panel adapted for use with this invention has been shown to have an efficiency of 14.4% during experiments. Thereby, contrary to what has generally been assumed within the field of solar panels and solar cells, it is possible to use solar panels as part of an solar panel in accordance with that described herein and still achieve acceptable or even high efficiency of the solar panels. This renders it possible to use a space such as the wall of a skyscraper, for instance, both to generate power and to provide an area for advertisement or decoration to achieve an aesthetically pleasing impression.
- the visual effect created by illuminating the portion 15 of the translucent front glass 13 by the light source 20 is further increased by providing a plurality of LEDs on at least two sides of the solar panel 1.
- the light redirected in a direction at an angle of less than 90° to the normal N has an increased intensity rendering it visible from a greater distance and allowing the pattern formed by the portion 15 to show also smaller details.
- Fig. 4 shows schematically a system with the solar panel 10 connected to a junction box 120 with a central processing unit having integrated intelligence that controls the operation of the light source 20.
- the junction box 120 is controlled through a power cable from an inverter 110 that is generally connected to a plurality of junction boxes controlling light sources for a plurality of solar panels.
- the inverter is in turn controlled by a control unit 100 and is also connected to an electric grid 200 from which electric energy is fed to power the inverter, control unit, junction boxes and light sources.
- the inverter is set to switch the light of the light sources 20 on and off and to thereby control the display on the solar panel 10.
- the solar module 10 generates energy during the day and this energy is transmitted via the inverter 110 to the grid 200.
- the same cables and connections are used both for delivering energy to the grid 200 from the solar panel 10 and for receiving energy from the grid 200 for the light sources 20.
- the system may also include storage means operatively connected to the solar panel 10 for receiving and storing energy generated by the solar panel 10 and for using this energy to power the light source 20.
- the operation of the storage means is in this embodiment controlled by the junction box 120 for each solar panel 10 or by the control unit 100 for the system as a whole.
- the storage means can either be located at each solar panel 10 and serve to power only one panel 10, or be located in connection with the inverter 110 and serve to receive electrical energy from and feed energy to a plurality of solar panels 10.
