- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a roof 1, the covering of which is made with photovoltaic panels.
- the roof 1 taken as an example is a two-slope roof, but the embodiments described apply more generally regardless of the number of slopes of the roof, for example to a four-pitch roof, and regardless of the number of roof dropouts provided in the roof. However, the embodiments described apply more particularly to sloping roof sections.
- the roof 1 consists of a frame 12 and a cover 14.
- the frame is a conventional frame, that is to say not necessarily specifically provided for photovoltaic panels. Only the upper part of the frame is shown in Figure 1.
- Cover 14 is a cover made, preferably, entirely of photovoltaic panels 2.
- Each panel 2 preferably comprises several groups of photovoltaic cells distributed in modules 21, defining photovoltaic modules. According to a preferred embodiment, each panel 2 comprises four modules 21. However, a different number of modules 21 can be provided per panel 2.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view, simplified and very schematic, of an embodiment of a photovoltaic panel 2.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of details of an embodiment of a photovoltaic panel as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- a panel 2 comprises a first glass support plate 22 on (an upper face of) which photovoltaic cells 242 are attached, covered with second protection plates 24, serving as a structure for the photovoltaic modules .
- the format of the plates 24 defines the format of the modules 21. More precisely, a strip 25 or string of photovoltaic cells 242, if necessary distributed according to the pattern of the modules 21, is attached to the plate 22 and is surmounted by several plates 24 of glass protection.
- FIG. 3 more particularly illustrates details of the production of a panel 2 at the level of the join between two modules 21.
- Photovoltaic cells 242 are embedded or encapsulated in a polymer by being electrically connected from one group of cells to another by conductors 246. This structure in itself is usual and any type of cell arrangement. photovoltaic 242 is suitable.
- the strip 25 is, for example, glued (adhesive layer 281) to the support plate 22.
- the strip 25 extends over the entire length of the plate 22.
- the modular glass plates 24 are bonded (layer 282) by their lower faces to an upper face of the strip 25.
- the (side) edges of the plates 24 of the same panel 2 are also preferably glued to one another (layer 283).
- the plates 24 of the same panel 2 are placed end to end, glass against glass.
- the side edges of the module plates 24 are bevelled or cutaway 243 in the upper part of their thickness, the joining of two plates 24 taking place at the lower right part edges.
- Such bevels participate in giving the roofing a slate appearance. If necessary, the four edges of the modules are bevelled.
- FIG. 3A illustrates, by a simplified sectional view to be compared to FIG. 3, a variant in which the cut sides 243 of FIG. 3 are replaced by triangular shapes 243 'directed outwards.
- FIG. 3B illustrates, in a simplified sectional view to be compared to FIG. 3, another variant in which the cut sides 243 of FIG. 3 are replaced by rounded portions 243 "directed outwards.
- d concave portions are provided, the arc of a circle formed by the portion connecting the edge of the plate to the rest of the latter having its center inward.
- the glass plates 24 covering the photovoltaic modules comprise, at least at their lateral edges, a change in section resulting in a slice of thickness less than that of the rest of the plate (FIG. 3) or thicker than the rest of the plate ( Figures 3A and 3B).
- the side edges of the module plates 24 have the same thickness. (less than that of the rest of plate 24 for the embodiment of Figure 3 or greater than that of the rest of plate 24 for the embodiment of Figure 3A or Figure 3B) for all roofing elements . This helps to give a particular aesthetic to the cover produced.
- the side edges of the plates 24 are flat and perpendicular to the outer face of the cover element. These slices therefore form an angle of 90 ° with the internal face of the plate.
- the support plate 22 ensures the mechanical strength of the modules 21 relative to each other.
- the glass plate 22 serves as a frame for mechanically assembling the modules together.
- the glass constituting the plate 22 is preferably devoid of electrical functions. This simplifies its manufacture and implementation.
- the support plate 22 is made of a material other than glass, provided to be a material, by nature or through an optional coating, impermeable to water, non-oxidizable, and adapted to mechanically support the cells 242 and modular plates 24, therefore modules 21.
- a support plate of zinc-plated steel or of aluminum alloy could be provided, if necessary covered with a paint or an insulating enamel. Glass is however a preferred material due to its inert and particularly durable nature.
- the modules 21 are preferably devoid of photovoltaic cells in the upper part 214 (FIG. 2).
- the portion of the strip 25 located directly above the upper parts 214 does not include a cell 242.
- This zone or part 214, devoid of photovoltaic cells, is intended to be covered from the bottom of the upper modules, as will be better understood in relation to figure 4.
- the height of the part 214 of the module 21 devoid of cell 242 depends on the desired overlap between the panels 2 in the height direction. According to a particular embodiment, the overlap is between 20 and 40% of the height of the panel, preferably of the order of 25%. Thus, approximately 25% of the upper part of each module 21 is devoid of a photovoltaic cell. In other words, the part 214 represents between 20 and 40%, preferably about 25%, of the surface of the module 21. As a variant, for example if this makes the manufacture of the modules easier, cells are also provided in upper part 214 in the strip 25, but are then preferably not electrically connected so as not to drop the power of the module.
- each module 21 is preferably different depending on the position of the module 21 in the panel 2.
- Each module 21, or more precisely, each portion of the strip 25 corresponding to a module 21 then comprises one or more conductive tracks 246 ′ suitable for electrically connecting the module concerned to an adjacent module or to the block 26 of the panel.
- the block 26 is placed approximately in the middle of the panel 2 in the length direction and is attached against the panel at the top.
- the connection of the modules passes, for the end modules, through the central modules which are each connected directly to the block.
- the number of tracks 246 ' depends on the electrical connection mode (series or parallel) of the cell modules of panel 2.
- the dimension of a cell 242 is a function, in the usual way, of the dimension that can be produced depending on the technology used (typically, the length of one side of the silicon wafers used).
- several cells 242 are interconnected in series or in parallel within one or more strings, themselves connected in series or in parallel within the same module 21 and are preferably embedded in a material. polymer, or encapsulant, between the support glass 22 and the upper or protective glass 24 constituting a structural element of the module 21.
- the patterns of the cells 242, whose conductive elements are generally visible due to the transparency of the protective glass 24 covering the cells 242, can take various forms depending on the application.
- so-called "black" modules are provided, the metal parts of which are not visible in order to impart an appearance of dark plates, such as slates, to the roof.
- the visible metal parts are used to give the modules a particular aesthetic.
- the thickness of the modular plates 24 is a few millimeters, for example between approximately 3 and 7 mm, preferably of the order of 5 mm.
- the height of the straight part of the lateral edge is for example between approximately 2 and 4 mm, preferably of the order of 3 mm.
- the cut sides 243 are preferably at about 45 °.
- the thickness of the plates 22 is a few millimeters, for example between approximately 2 and 10 mm, preferably of the order of 3 mm.
- the panel 2 that is to say a plate 22, several modules 21 (strip 25 and plates 24) mounted on this plate, and an electrical block 26, constitute an element of roof covering 1.
- This roofing element or panel is manufactured in the factory or in the workshop and is intended to be mounted on a frame in the manner of a roof, for example a slate roof.
- the panels 2 are preferably plane at least on the upper face and preferably on their two faces.
- An advantage of providing a support plate 22 separate from the photovoltaic modules 21 and shared by several modules 21 (therefore a plate 22 of dimensions greater than those of a module) is that this makes it possible to provide the same junction box 26 and the same pair of cables per panel 2, therefore for several modules.
- the reduction in the number of electrical connections to be made on the roof at the time of installation also has an advantage in terms of installation time.
- the reduction in the number of electrical connections is also an advantage for the electrical safety of the installation.
- the flat surface provided on the lower face by the plate 22 facilitates assembly and improves the roof waterproofing in the manner of slate plates.
- the lengths (horizontal direction once mounted on the roof) and width (in the height of the roof) of a panel are respectively between approximately 30 cm and 3 m, preferably of the order of 1.2 m for the length and between 30 cm and 1 m, preferably of the order of 50 cm for the width or height.
- the elements or panels 2 of the same row are coplanar.
- an element 2 of a row covers the upper parts 214 of modules 21 of elements 2 of the immediately lower row.
- the arrangement is staggered so that each module (except the top row and, where applicable, the side edge panels of the roof) is covered at the top by two panels from the row immediately above.
- the lateral shift from one row to the next (or previous) can be any, but is preferably by half-module (or whole multiple of half-modules) or by module (or whole multiple of modules). This contributes to the aesthetics of the roof.
- Figure 4 is a perspective and partial view of a roof section before installation of photovoltaic panels.
- the implementation of the described embodiments of photovoltaic coverage is compatible with a usual framework.
- rafters 122 in the direction of height, an optional under-roof screen 124, counter-slats 126 aligned with the rafters 122 in the event of use of 'a screen 124, and horizontal battens 128.

- each mounting element comprises a plate or plate, at least one tab projecting internally from an upper edge of the plate and at least two jaws projecting externally from a lower edge of the plate.
- the plate has dimensions such that it is wider at the bottom (in the direction of the roof) than at the top.
- its bottom edge is at least 10 centimeters, preferably at least 20 centimeters, while its top edge is at least 5 centimeters, preferably at least 10 centimeters.
- FIG. 4 illustrates embodiments of mounting elements which will be detailed in relation to FIGS. 6 to 8. Other embodiments incorporating the same general principles are detailed in relation to FIGS. 9 to 11.
- a particular structure of mounting elements 5 (FIG. 4) is provided to hold the cover panels 2.
- Each mounting element 5 has the shape of a hook and is intended to be hung on at least one batten 128 and, preferably with two parallel battens 128, preferably consecutive.
- the role of the hooks 5 is not only to ensure the mechanical strength of the cover panels 2, but also to guarantee the waterproofing of the roof at the level of the lateral joints between panels. Indeed, as the assembly is provided edge to edge (not overlapping) in the horizontal direction, it is necessary to ensure the seal from below.
- each hook 5 consists of a plate or plate 51 intended to receive at least one side edge of a panel.
- Each hook 5 comprises at least one tab (not visible in FIG. 4) directed towards the interior of the roof, for attaching the hook to a first batten or upper batten (for the hook concerned).
- each hook 5 further comprises one or more tabs 53 projecting laterally from the hook and intended (s) to bear against, preferably to be fixed (s) to a second batten 128 lower than the first batten of the hook concerned.
- the legs 53 bear against the high faces (towards the top of the roof) of the second battens.
- the plate 51 of the hook protrudes from the second batten (towards the bottom of the roof).
- the tabs 53 are used to hold the panels in the event of strong winds that risk lifting them from their lower part.
- each panel rests on the respective plates 51 of two consecutive hooks 5 in the horizontal direction. Except on the lateral edges of the roof (special hooks, preferably provided for the edges of the roof will be described below in relation to the figures 7 and 8, 10 and 11 respectively), the plate 51 of each hook 5 receives the side edges of two adjoining panels 2.
- the edge-to-edge join between the two neighboring panels is intended to be approximately aligned, preferably aligned, with the middle of the plate 51 of the hook 5 in the height direction.
- Each element or hook 5 comprises, in the lower part, at least two nozzles 55 intended to receive the respective longitudinal edges of the two panels received by the hook.
- the slats 55 have the role of preventing the panels 2 from sliding downwards.
- the upper part 214 of the lateral module of each panel is preferably partially covered by the lower portion of the plate 51 with an upper hook which protrudes from the lower batten, or second batten, to which is hooked this upper hook.
- This upper hook is intended to receive the side edges of two panels 2 of the upper row.
- the hooks are staggered in the direction of the height to allow a staggered arrangement of the cover panels from one row to another.
- any other offset may be provided depending on the layout desired for the roof.
