Description

DESCRIPTION

Solar Power Generator Module

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention refers to a solar energy generating module, compact, easy to install, capable of supplying sufficient electrical energy in those places where an independent energy source is required, or simply as an additional element of energy contribution that reduces conventional electricity consumption.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a modular device, easy and quick to install, light, silent and safe, ideal for use in homes, farms and many other applications that require similar features.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, photovoltaic equipment needs, in addition to a cover or space to anchor the solar panels (in many cases they are supported by concrete weights if the base cannot be drilled), a place to install the rest of the equipment, batteries, inverter, electrical protections etc., and their corresponding wiring between them.

This place must be isolated, ventilated and out of reach of children and people not familiar with these installations since they work with a very high and dangerous voltage and impedance.

It is therefore a slow and laborious installation process, with the consequent costs that this entails.

Furthermore, these devices generate a lot of noise from the fans, especially early in the day and when there is high electricity consumption, which makes it difficult most of the time to choose their location.

These are therefore bulky installations, difficult to install and consequently expensive.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The solar energy generating module that the invention proposes completely satisfactorily solves the previously mentioned problem, as it consists of a "plug-and-play" type element, that is, it does not require complicated installation, significantly simplifying this entire process. , since the supporting structure of the panels itself determines a chamber in which the storage and electronic regulation equipment is located, saving space in the room, avoiding noise and reducing the electrical installation to a minimum and, as it comes pre-installed, so that "on-site" work times are considerably reduced, so that you only have to insert the batteries and connect them inside said chamber, assemble the panels and that's it.

To this end, and more specifically, the device of the invention is constituted from a structure based on 30x30 mm "L" profiles of galvanized iron covered with 1mm thick galvanized sheets, all designed to support the weather and inclement weather.

It is a straight triangular prismatic structure whose inclined cover or lid is the solar panel itself, which has the perfect shape to protect the equipment from rain and high temperatures.

The frame of the solar panel or panels acts as a cantilever so that rain, dew or dust does not penetrate the equipment and being a few centimeters separated from the structure, the photovoltaic kit remains perfectly ventilated.

The batteries installed inside, apart from accumulating energy for their normal operation, have a contained weight so that together with the design, the structure and the rest of the components, the weight of the module is established at around 200 kilograms distributed in its 1.3 m2 base, thus avoiding having to anchor the system to the surface, so that it only needs to be properly oriented towards the south.

It is therefore a structure with a mono-body character, which does not require assembly, as it is welded, which gives it maximum stability and hardness.

The device thus described will have dimensions of the order of 91x143x91 centimeters and 30 degrees of inclination, ideal dimensions to be transported in any small van, and up to two structures can be stacked in the same space.

It can also cross any room with standard doors of 80cm (useful space 72.5 centimeters), 90cm (useful space 82.5 centimeters), common elevator or stairs, since its minimum diagonal or width is around 71 centimeters.

It is worth mentioning that the initial measurements of the materials have been taken into account (6 meters in profiles and 2x1 meters in sheets), reducing the material loss to practically 0, making it economically more viable.

The structure thus described may have a ventilation grill that serves as a window to visually check the internal kit, although these can mostly be monitored wirelessly, and taking into account that this type of batteries are maintenance-free, the The user does not have to access it, thus making it more secure.

If necessary, the technician will remove the solar panel to access it.

Depending on the equipment that is mounted, it can be used to support an existing installation, to save electricity, as a UPS to ensure and stabilize the flow of electricity automatically in places with continuous power outages, for example.

The versatility of the device allows a 4G router to be installed in its cavity to emit an internet signal, for remote places where ADSL or fiber does not reach, ensuring this, the place with the best coverage to receive a signal and subsequently broadcast via WIFI or cable. being able to supply electricity and internet.

The device thus described can be used in multiple applications, such as to power an electric water heater of up to 100 liters, that is, it can convert a conventional water heater into a solar one, without the need for works, modifications to the water installation, it is not even necessary to change the existing water heater, you just have to connect it directly to the equipment.

Another useful application for this equipment is to power the water pump of a pool, thus making this consumption independent with the corresponding energy savings. If it is a removable pool, for example, and you want to change the location, the module can be moved to another place if necessary with relative ease.

It can also be used to power illuminated signs for businesses, industrial warehouses, construction booths and countless other applications, this being another accessory in the installation of said signs, making the offer of these companies in the sector more attractive.

In this way, an extremely versatile device is achieved, easy and quick to install with a very competitive price.
