Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble photovoltaïque comportant un module solaire photovoltaïque, et un champ photovoltaïque comprenant un assemblage de tels éléments photovoltaïques. Il est à noter qu'un module de cellules photovoltaïques reliées entre elles électriquement peut préférentiellement être appelé module solaire photovoltaïque. Un tel module photovoltaïque peut être appelé panneau solaire photovoltaïque. Un assemblage de modules photovoltaïques est généralement destiné à former une unité de production d'électricité directement à partir du rayonnement solaire et peut être appelé champ photovoltaïque. The present invention relates to a photovoltaic assembly comprising a photovoltaic solar module, and a photovoltaic field comprising an assembly of such photovoltaic elements. It should be noted that a module of photovoltaic cells interconnected electrically can preferably be called solar photovoltaic module. Such a photovoltaic module can be called solar photovoltaic panel. An assembly of photovoltaic modules is generally intended to form a power generation unit directly from solar radiation and can be called photovoltaic field.

De tels champs sont traditionnellement installés sur ou intégrés dans des toitures de bâtiments d'habitation individuelle ou des toitures de type industriel. Les toitures de type industriel équipent notamment des hangars agricoles, des bâtiments de stockage, et constituent des couvertures d'usine. Le document FR 2 465 315 décrit un ensemble photovoltaïque destiné à être intégré dans ou installé sur une toiture, l'ensemble photovoltaïque comprenant un module solaire photovoltaïque comportant un ensemble de cellules photovoltaïques, et un cadre de support formé par quatre profilés reliés deux à deux sur lequel est fixé le module photovoltaïque. Chaque profilé comporte une partie de support en forme de U recevant le bord correspondant du module photovoltaïque et une partie de raccordement agencée pour permettre le raccordement de l'ensemble photovoltaïque avec des tuiles adjacentes ou un ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent. Un tel cadre de support permet d'assurer l'étanchéité aux intempéries entre deux éléments photovoltaïques adjacents lorsqu'un assemblage d'une pluralité d'éléments photovoltaïques du type précédemment décrit est intégré à la charpente d'un toit incliné. La branche du U de chaque portion de support agencée pour recouvrir la face supérieure du module photovoltaïque a pour conséquence de diminuer la surface du module photovoltaïque destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire, et donc de réduire le rendement des cellules photovoltaïques. En outre, la mise en place d'un tel ensemble photovoltaïque implique des opérations complexes pour la fixation de chaque module photovoltaïque sur le cadre de support correspondant. Notamment, du fait de la forme en U de chaque portion de support qui ne permet pas un assemblage des profilés destinés à former le cadre de support avant la fixation du module photovoltaïque. La présente invention a pour but de résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus. Such fields are traditionally installed on or integrated into roofs of individual residential buildings or industrial type roofs. Industrial type roofs are used in agricultural sheds, storage buildings, and factory covers. The document FR 2 465 315 describes a photovoltaic assembly intended to be integrated into or installed on a roof, the photovoltaic assembly comprising a photovoltaic solar module comprising a set of photovoltaic cells, and a support frame formed by four sections connected in pairs. on which the photovoltaic module is fixed. Each section comprises a U-shaped support portion receiving the corresponding edge of the photovoltaic module and a connecting portion arranged to allow the connection of the photovoltaic assembly with adjacent tiles or an adjacent photovoltaic assembly. Such a support frame makes it possible to ensure the weathertightness between two adjacent photovoltaic elements when an assembly of a plurality of photovoltaic elements of the type previously described is integrated into the frame of an inclined roof. The U-branch of each support portion arranged to cover the upper face of the photovoltaic module has the effect of reducing the surface of the photovoltaic module intended to be exposed to solar radiation, and therefore to reduce the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells. In addition, the establishment of such a photovoltaic assembly involves complex operations for fixing each photovoltaic module on the corresponding support frame. In particular, because of the U-shape of each support portion that does not allow an assembly of the profiles for forming the support frame before fixing the photovoltaic module. The present invention aims to solve all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un ensemble photovoltaïque comportant un module solaire photovoltaïque comportant un ensemble de cellules photovoltaïques, et un cadre de support formé par une pluralité de profilés et sur lequel est fixé le module photovoltaïque, le module photovoltaïque comprenant une première face destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire, une seconde face opposée à la première face, et des bords latéraux, caractérisé en ce que chaque profilé comprend une partie de support agencée pour supporter le module photovoltaïque, chaque partie de support comportant uniquement une portion de soutien s'étendant sur la seconde face du module photovoltaïque de manière à soutenir ce dernier ou une portion de soutien s'étendant sur la seconde face du module photovoltaïque de manière à soutenir ce dernier et une portion de maintien s'étendant sur un bord latéral du module photovoltaïque de manière à maintenir ce dernier en position, et en ce que le module photovoltaïque est fixé sur chaque partie de support par collage. For this purpose, the invention relates to a photovoltaic assembly comprising a photovoltaic solar module comprising a set of photovoltaic cells, and a support frame formed by a plurality of profiles and on which the photovoltaic module is fixed, the photovoltaic module comprising a first face intended to be exposed to solar radiation, a second face opposite the first face, and side edges, characterized in that each section comprises a support portion arranged to support the photovoltaic module, each support portion comprising only a support portion extending on the second face of the photovoltaic module so as to support the latter or a supporting portion extending on the second face of the photovoltaic module so as to support the latter and a holding portion extending on a lateral edge of the photovoltaic module. photovoltaic module so as to maintain the latter in position, and in this that the photovoltaic module is fixed on each support part by gluing.

Le cadre de support selon l'invention ne présente aucune portion susceptible de recouvrir la face du module photovoltaïque destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire. Ces dispositions permettent d'augmenter la surface du module photovoltaïque destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire, et donc le rendement des cellules photovoltaïques. Ces dispositions permettent également de former le cadre de support préalablement à la fixation du module photovoltaïque sur ce dernier, ce qui facilite le montage du module sur le toit d'une habitation. En outre, le fait que le cadre de support selon l'invention ne présente aucune portion susceptible de recouvrir la face du module photovoltaïque destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire permet de diminuer la quantité de matière nécessaire pour la fabrication des profilés, et donc les coûts de revient de ces derniers. Avantageusement, la partie de support d'au moins l'un des profilés est constituée par une portion de soutien sensiblement plane plaquée contre la seconde face du module photovoltaïque de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque. The support frame according to the invention has no portion capable of covering the face of the photovoltaic module intended to be exposed to solar radiation. These provisions make it possible to increase the surface of the photovoltaic module intended to be exposed to solar radiation, and therefore the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells. These arrangements also make it possible to form the support frame prior to fixing the photovoltaic module on the latter, which facilitates mounting the module on the roof of a house. In addition, the fact that the support frame according to the invention has no portion likely to cover the face of the photovoltaic module intended to be exposed to solar radiation makes it possible to reduce the amount of material required for the production of the profiles, and therefore the costs of these. Advantageously, the support portion of at least one of the profiles is constituted by a substantially flat support portion pressed against the second face of the photovoltaic module so as to support the photovoltaic module.

Préférentiellement, la portion de soutien sensiblement plane est plaquée contre la seconde face du module photovoltaïque au niveau d'un bord latéral de ce dernier De préférence, la partie de support d'au moins l'un des profilés présente une forme générale de L, une première branche du L étant plaquée contre la seconde face du module photovoltaïque au niveau d'un bord latéral de ce dernier de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque, et une seconde branche du L étant plaquée contre le bord latéral correspondant du module photovoltaïque de manière à maintenir ce dernier en position. Preferably, the substantially flat support portion is pressed against the second face of the photovoltaic module at a lateral edge of the latter. Preferably, the support portion of at least one of the profiles has a general shape of L, a first leg of the L being pressed against the second face of the photovoltaic module at a lateral edge of the latter so as to support the photovoltaic module, and a second branch of the L being pressed against the corresponding lateral edge of the photovoltaic module so as to to keep the latter in position.

De façon avantageuse, les parties de support des différents profilés sont identiques. De façon préférentielle, au moins l'un des profilés comporte une partie de raccordement agencée pour permettre le raccordement par recouvrement de l'ensemble photovoltaïque avec des tuiles adjacentes ou un ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent. Les profilés sont de préférence réalisés à base d'aluminium. La présente invention concerne également un champ photovoltaïque comprenant un assemblage d'une pluralité d'éléments photovoltaïques selon l'invention. Advantageously, the support portions of the different sections are identical. Preferably, at least one of the profiles comprises a connecting portion arranged to allow the connection by overlapping of the photovoltaic assembly with adjacent tiles or an adjacent photovoltaic assembly. The profiles are preferably made of aluminum. The present invention also relates to a photovoltaic field comprising an assembly of a plurality of photovoltaic elements according to the invention.

De préférence, le champ photovoltaïque est destiné à être installé sur ou intégré dans des toitures de bâtiments.

Figure 9 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne IX-IX de figure 7. Figure 10 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne X-X de figure 7. La figure 1 représente un ensemble photovoltaïque 1 comportant un module solaire photovoltaïque 2, et un cadre de support 3 lequel est fixé par collage le module photovoltaïque 2. La référence 4 représente la couche de colle destinée à assurer la fixation du module photovoltaïque 2 sur le cadre de support 3. La couche de colle 4 a été illustrée avec une épaisseur importante de manière à être visible sur les figures. Le module photovoltaïque 2 comprend une première face 5 où est disposé un ensemble de cellules photovoltaïques. Les cellules photovoltaïques sont avantageusement disposées en lignes et en colonnes. La première face 5 est destinée à être exposée au rayonnement solaire afin de permettre aux cellules photovoltaïques de créer de l'énergie électrique à partir de l'énergie solaire. Le module photovoltaïque solaire 2 comprend une seconde face 6. La seconde face 6 est située à l'opposé de la première face 5. Figure 9 is a sectional view along the line IX-IX of Figure 7. Figure 10 is a sectional view along the line XX of Figure 7. Figure 1 shows a photovoltaic assembly 1 comprising a photovoltaic solar module 2, and a frame support 3 which is fixed by gluing the photovoltaic module 2. The reference 4 represents the adhesive layer intended to ensure the fixing of the photovoltaic module 2 on the support frame 3. The adhesive layer 4 has been illustrated with a significant thickness of to be visible in the figures. The photovoltaic module 2 comprises a first face 5 where is arranged a set of photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are advantageously arranged in rows and columns. The first face 5 is intended to be exposed to solar radiation to allow photovoltaic cells to create electrical energy from solar energy. The solar photovoltaic module 2 comprises a second face 6. The second face 6 is situated opposite the first face 5.

Le cadre de support 3 est destiné par exemple à être fixé sur la terrasse, le mur ou le toit d'une habitation. Le cadre de support 3 présente avantageusement une forme rectangulaire ou carrée. Comme montré sur la figure 2, le cadre de support 3 est formé par quatre profilés sensiblement identiques reliés deux à deux, à savoir deux profilés latéraux 3a, 3b et deux profilés formant traverse 3c, 3d. Les profilés 3a à 3d sont de préférence réalisés à base d'aluminium, et sont avantageusement reliés deux à deux par une ligne de soudure. Chaque profilé comporte une partie de support 7 présentant une forme générale de L. Une première branche 7a du L est plaquée contre la seconde face 6 du module photovoltaïque 2 au niveau d'un bord latéral correspondant 8 de ce dernier de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque. Une seconde branche 7b du L est plaquée contre le bord latéral correspondant 8 du module photovoltaïque de manière à maintenir ce dernier en position. La figure 3 représente un ensemble photovoltaïque selon un deuxième mode de réalisation qui diffère de celui représenté sur la figure 1 en ce que la portion de support 7 de chaque profilé est constituée par une plaque de soutien sensiblement plane plaquée contre la seconde face 6 du module photovoltaïque 2 au niveau du bord latéral correspondant de ce dernier de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque. Selon une variante de réalisation de ce deuxième mode de réalisation, le cadre de support pourrait présenter une forme générale de croix, et de ce fait comprendre par exemple uniquement deux profilés s'étendant sensiblement selon les diagonales du module photovoltaïque 2. Les figures 4 à 10 représentent deux types de profilés appartenant à un ensemble photovoltaïque 1 selon un troisième mode de réalisation destiné 10 à être intégré dans la toiture d'un bâtiment. Le cadre de support 3 de cet ensemble photovoltaïque 1 est formé par quatre profilés reliés deux à deux, à savoir deux profilés latéraux destinés à s'étendre sensiblement suivant la ligne de plus grande pente du toit incliné, et des profilés supérieur et inférieur destinés à s'étendre sensiblement 15 horizontalement. Les figures 4 à 6 représentent le profilé supérieur 3c, tandis que les figures 7 à 10 représentent l'un des profilés latéraux, et de préférence le profilé latéral droit 3b. Comme montré plus particulièrement sur les figures 4 et 6, le profilé supérieur 3c comporte une partie de support 7 agencée pour supporter 20 le module photovoltaïque 2, et une partie de raccordement 11 solidaire et contigüe de la partie de support 7. La partie de raccordement 11 est agencée pour permettre le raccordement par recouvrement partiel de l'ensemble photovoltaïque 1 par des tuiles adjacentes ou un ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent.The support frame 3 is intended for example to be fixed on the terrace, the wall or the roof of a house. The support frame 3 advantageously has a rectangular or square shape. As shown in Figure 2, the support frame 3 is formed by four substantially identical sections connected in pairs, namely two lateral sections 3a, 3b and two cross-member profiles 3c, 3d. The profiles 3a to 3d are preferably made of aluminum, and are advantageously connected in pairs by a weld line. Each section comprises a support portion 7 having a general shape of L. A first branch 7a of the L is pressed against the second face 6 of the photovoltaic module 2 at a corresponding lateral edge 8 of the latter so as to support the module photovoltaic. A second branch 7b of the L is pressed against the corresponding lateral edge 8 of the photovoltaic module so as to hold the latter in position. FIG. 3 represents a photovoltaic assembly according to a second embodiment which differs from that represented in FIG. 1 in that the support portion 7 of each profile is constituted by a substantially flat support plate pressed against the second face 6 of the module photovoltaic 2 at the corresponding lateral edge of the latter so as to support the photovoltaic module. According to an alternative embodiment of this second embodiment, the support frame could have a general shape of a cross, and thus comprise for example only two sections extending substantially along the diagonals of the photovoltaic module 2. FIGS. 10 show two types of profiles belonging to a photovoltaic unit 1 according to a third embodiment intended to be integrated into the roof of a building. The support frame 3 of this photovoltaic unit 1 is formed by four sections connected in pairs, namely two lateral sections intended to extend substantially along the line of greatest slope of the inclined roof, and upper and lower sections intended to extend substantially horizontally. Figures 4 to 6 show the upper profile 3c, while Figures 7 to 10 show one of the side profiles, and preferably the right side profile 3b. As shown more particularly in FIGS. 4 and 6, the upper profile 3c comprises a support portion 7 arranged to support the photovoltaic module 2, and a connection portion 11 integral and contiguous with the support portion 7. The connecting portion 11 is arranged to allow connection by partial recovery of the photovoltaic assembly 1 by adjacent tiles or an adjacent photovoltaic assembly.

25 Comme montré sur la figure 6, la partie de raccordement 11 comporte, sur sa face destinée à être opposée à la charpente du toit, une rainure longitudinale 12 agencée pour recevoir un joint d'étanchéité destiné à assurer l'étanchéité dans la zone de recouvrement avec les tuiles adjacentes ou l'ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent.As shown in FIG. 6, the connecting portion 11 has, on its face intended to be opposite to the roof structure, a longitudinal groove 12 arranged to receive a seal intended to ensure the watertightness in the zone of overlap with adjacent tiles or the adjacent photovoltaic assembly.

30 Le profilé supérieur 3c comprend en outre une rainure longitudinale 13 ménagée en dessous de la partie de support 7 et débouchant au niveau de chaque extrémité du profilé. Comme montré plus particulièrement sur les figures 7 et 10, le profilé latéral droit 3b comporte une partie de support 7 agencée pour 35 supporter le module photovoltaïque 2, et une partie de raccordement 11 solidaire et contigüe de la partie de support 7. La partie de raccordement 11 est agencée pour permettre le raccordement latéral par recouvrement partiel de l'ensemble photovoltaïque 1 avec des tuiles adjacentes ou un ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent. Comme montré sur la figure 10, la partie de raccordement 11 du profilé latéral droit 3b comporte une portion sensiblement plane 14 s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à partir de la seconde branche 7b de la partie de support 7, et deux nervures longitudinales 15 s'étendant à partir de la surface inférieure de la portion sensiblement plane 12. Le profilé latéral droit 3b comprend en outre une rainure 10 longitudinale 13 ménagée en dessous de la partie de support 7 et débouchant au niveau de chaque extrémité du profilé. Le profilé latéral gauche (non représenté sur les figures) présente une partie de support identique à celle du profilé latéral droit 3b, mais présente une partie de raccordement comportant une portion sensiblement plane 15 s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à partir de la seconde branche de la partie de support, et deux rainures longitudinales adaptées pour recevoir les nervures longitudinales ménagées sur la partie de raccordement du profilé latéral droit d'un ensemble photovoltaïque adjacent. Les profilés latéraux et supérieurs sont fixés deux à deux par des 20 organes de fixation, tels que des équerres de fixation dont les branches sont destinées à être engagées respectivement dans les rainures longitudinales 13 ménagées sur les profilés. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le profilé inférieur (non représenté sur les figures) pourrait être constituée par une plaque de soutien sensiblement 25 plane plaquée contre la seconde face 6 du module photovoltaïque 2 au niveau du bord latéral inférieur de ce dernier de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque, ou par un profilé présentant une section transversale en forme générale de L dont l'un des branches est plaquée contre la seconde face 6 du module photovoltaïque 2 de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque, et 30 dont l'autre branche est plaquée contre le bord latéral inférieur du module photovoltaïque de manière à maintenir ce dernier en position. Selon un mode de réalisation non représenté sur les figures, le cadre de support pourrait présenter une forme générale de H, et de ce fait comprendre deux profilés latéraux comportant une partie de support en forme 35 de L, et un profilé formant traverse constituée par une plaque de soutien sensiblement plane plaquée contre la seconde face 6 du module photovoltaïque 2 de manière à soutenir le module photovoltaïque. Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seules formes d'exécution de cet ensemble photovoltaïque, décrites ci-dessus à titre 5 d'exemples, elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes de réalisation. The upper profile 3c further comprises a longitudinal groove 13 formed below the support portion 7 and opening at each end of the profile. As shown more particularly in FIGS. 7 and 10, the right lateral profile 3b comprises a support portion 7 arranged to support the photovoltaic module 2, and a connection portion 11 integral and contiguous with the support portion 7. The portion of connection 11 is arranged to allow the lateral connection by partial recovery of the photovoltaic assembly 1 with adjacent tiles or an adjacent photovoltaic assembly. As shown in FIG. 10, the connecting portion 11 of the right lateral profile 3b comprises a substantially flat portion 14 extending substantially perpendicularly from the second branch 7b of the support portion 7, and two longitudinal ribs 15 extending from the lower surface of the substantially flat portion 12. The right side profile 3b further comprises a longitudinal groove 13 formed below the support portion 7 and opening at each end of the section. The left lateral profile (not shown in the figures) has a support portion identical to that of the right lateral profile 3b, but has a connecting portion comprising a substantially flat portion 15 extending substantially perpendicularly from the second branch of the support portion, and two longitudinal grooves adapted to receive the longitudinal ribs formed on the connecting portion of the right side profile of an adjacent photovoltaic assembly. The lateral and upper profiles are fastened in pairs by fasteners, such as fastening brackets whose branches are intended to be engaged respectively in the longitudinal grooves 13 formed on the profiles. According to this embodiment, the lower profile (not shown in the figures) could be constituted by a substantially flat support plate pressed against the second face 6 of the photovoltaic module 2 at the lower lateral edge of the latter so as to support the photovoltaic module, or a profile having a generally L-shaped cross section, one of the branches of which is pressed against the second face 6 of the photovoltaic module 2 so as to support the photovoltaic module, and the other branch of which is pressed against the lower side edge of the photovoltaic module so as to hold the latter in position. According to an embodiment not shown in the figures, the support frame could have a general shape of H, and thus comprise two lateral sections comprising an L-shaped support portion, and a cross-member profile constituted by a substantially flat support plate pressed against the second face 6 of the photovoltaic module 2 so as to support the photovoltaic module. As goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the embodiments of this photovoltaic assembly, described above by way of examples, it encompasses all variants.
