Description

The present invention relates to a wall formed of a plurality of juxtaposed panels, of the solar panel type, and comprising a plurality of juxtaposed solar panels comprising thermal insulation means, and a method of manufacturing such a wall. assembled so that the upper faces of the plurality of panels, which define the outer face of the wall, are arranged in a smooth surface. The present invention further relates to a method of manufacturing such a wall. The solar panels can be of any type, and are more particularly made on the basis of photovoltaic panel technology. The main object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic wall integration solution simultaneously producing electricity and having good thermal insulation performance, between the medium outside the wall and the interior of the latter. and furthermore between the solar panels and the supporting structure thereof, while providing a simplified wall structure to make assembly easy and fast, with a reasonable cost of production and implementation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall having good sealing characteristics, particularly to the weather and in particular to water. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall having aesthetic features. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wall with good protection against theft. More precisely, said wall is characterized in that it comprises: a plurality of parallel longitudinal metal longitudinal members for supporting said solar panels; a first panel at least of said plurality of solar panels comprising a first filler plate for capturing the solar energy, and a first frame surrounding said first plate, - said first frame of said first panel consisting of four assembled section sections between which said first filler plate is fixed, said four section sections constituting said first frame of said first panel being made of a thermally insulating material, - said first frame of thermally insulating material having a first and a second longitudinal sides bearing on a first and a second successive metallic spars, respectively, so that the insulating material of said first frame is in contact with the metallic material of said first and second spars; means for fixing said first and second longitudinal sides of said first frame to said first and second longitudinal spars, respectively, in engagement with the thermally insulating material of said first frame.

The combination of a thermally insulating material constituting the frames of the solar panels according to the defined arrangement of the means of the wall, gives the wall thermal break qualities between the external environment to the wall receiving the solar radiation and the longitudinal members longitudinals support disposed on the other side of the wall inside the construction, and simultaneously between the filler plate for capturing solar energy and said longitudinal longitudinal support members. The assembly structure of the solar panels with the support rails provides good overall strength of the wall. The solar panels, through their frames of thermally insulating material in direct contact with the metal support rails, are an integral part of the wall and participate in the resistance thereof. The wall according to the invention allows the use of identical solar panels whose outer surface exposed to the sun forms a smooth surface, the slices of the constituent frames of the solar panels being vis-à-vis without overlap or overlap. The thermally insulating material constituting the frame may be any suitable rigid plastic material ensuring both a good mechanical strength of the panel and a thermal insulation forming a wall according to the invention thermal break, at cost costs improved because of the constitution by profiles of these frames. A panel with its frame is thus thermally insulated from the supporting structure. A thermally insulating frame will also advantageously be electrically insulating to ensure the safety of people in the case of a photovoltaic nature of the panel, thus avoiding having to connect these panels to the ground, if any, for the same level of security. The structure of the panels from a frame formed of sections allows a simple construction of panels whose solar plates can be naturally trapped in the frame after the assembly of the latter. In addition, the method of construction of panels from profiles reduces manufacturing costs and assembly possibilities. Other benefits will be developed further.

According to an advantageous characteristic, a plurality of metal crosspieces is disposed between the longitudinal longitudinal spars of said plurality of longitudinal spars, a cross member being placed in abutment on said first and second longitudinal longitudinal spars so as to provide support for a first and second longitudinal spars. a third frame of insulating material of the first and third panels juxtaposed by their third and fourth transverse sides, respectively, perpendicular to said first and second longitudinal sides thereof. The sleepers make it possible to consolidate the supporting structure constituted by the longitudinal members and sleepers in this case, by allowing a better distribution of the forces exerted on the wall, for example snow or weight of people. The sleepers also have a function of draining water that could seep through the wall. The sleepers also allow a better setting of the panels in the direction of the slope. According to an advantageous characteristic, the wall according to the invention comprises means of sealing said first solar panel with the solar panels juxtaposed, said sealing means comprising a first wall seal, thermally insulating, fixed and extending on one of said first and second longitudinal sides of said first frame, said first seal covering the edge of a longitudinal side of a second panel juxtaposed longitudinally with said first panel, having a second frame of insulating material, so as to form a thermal break between the external medium in contact with said outer face of the wall on the one hand, and the longitudinal longitudinal support beam of said first and second panels on the other hand, through said first and second frames in insulating material. According to an advantageous characteristic, said fastening means disposed on the longitudinal side of said first frame where said first seal extends, comprise a metallic material, and are arranged below said first thermally insulating seal, between the latter and the longitudinal longitudinal support beam of said first and second panels, such that said fixing means are not in contact with the outer face of the wall, so that said fixing means do not establish a thermal bridge between the medium outside and said metal spar. This arrangement of the fixing means makes it possible at the same time to fix the solar panels without restoring a thermal bridge between the medium outside the wall and the inner side thereof, to offer aesthetic characteristics in that the means fasteners are invisible from the outside of the finished wall, and offer good protection against theft for the same reason.

According to an advantageous characteristic, said sealing means comprise a second heat-insulating wall seal, fixed and extending on one of the third and fourth transverse sides of said first frame, said second seal covering the edge of the transverse side vis-à-vis a third panel juxtaposed to said first panel, comprising a third frame of insulating material, so as to form a thermal bridge break between the outer medium in contact with said outer face of the wall; on the one hand, and the supporting metal crossbar of said first and third panels on the other hand, through said first and third frames of insulating material. These two characteristics relating to the first and second thermally insulating seals advantageously provide a seal of the discretized wall, participating through the arrangement of seals and their constituent material to the thermal bridge break offered by the wall according to the invention, the sealing being built by the successive assembly of the solar panels, each panel which is installed having sealing means cooperating with those of two juxtaposed panels already laid to form a seal on all four sides of the panel which is installed. Thus, when the plurality of solar panels has been installed, a thermally insulating seal of the wall has been simultaneously achieved. Sealing as a function is here advantageously designed as inseparable solar panels which each provide its own wall sealing part to its integration in it. In addition, these features contribute to ease of maintenance of the wall in case of replacement of a panel or intervention on a panel, the affected sealing being restricted to the local level of the panel removed and replaced or replaced, and redone by sealing the replacement panel or the same panel when it is put back in place, if necessary, without the operator having to intervene specifically on the integral seals of the adjacent panels remaining in place during the intervention. According to an advantageous characteristic, the first thermally insulating seal, or said first and second thermally insulating seals, respectively adopts a T-shaped cross-section, the transverse bar of the T covering two juxtaposed edges of two juxtaposed panels, and the vertical bar of the T being associated with said first frame. According to an advantageous characteristic, the vertical bar of the T comprises at its free end a longitudinal return extending in the direction of the transverse bar of the T, said longitudinal return being engaged in a groove of said first frame of thermally insulating panel material for attaching said thermally insulating seal to said first panel. According to an advantageous characteristic, the first thermally insulating seal, or said first and second thermally insulating seals, are profiled joints of identical cross section. This feature allows uniformity of the wall joints with a single section in the longitudinal direction as in the transverse direction of the wall.

According to an advantageous characteristic, the first thermally insulating seal, or said first and second thermally insulating seals, are dual-hardness seals, the transverse bar of the T having at its two transverse ends respectively at least two lips. longitudinal sealing made of a flexible elastic material, the structure of the T being made of a rigid or substantially rigid plastic material so as to give the seal its mechanical strength for a connection thereof with the panel frame. The flexible lips perform the sealing of the wall by pressing on the outer surface of the panels, in particular bearing on the frame, this support ensuring the seal being made possible by the mechanical strength of the rigid or substantially rigid T-joint profile, which allows the panel on which the seal is attached, to exert pressure, via the flexible lips, on the adjacent panel through the U-shaped interlock on the first spar on the one hand and thanks to the fastening means of the second side of the first frame to the second spar on the other hand. According to an advantageous characteristic, said four section sections constituting said first frame of thermally insulating material of said first panel, adopt identical transverse sections and define a longitudinal housing whose cross section adopts a U-shape, in which the edges of said first plate filler to capture solar energy are nested. The four profiles constituting the frame advantageously identical allow a simplification of manufacture while nevertheless responding to an asymmetry in the assembly of the frame on the longitudinal longitudinal members, by interlocking one side and simple support of the other. According to an advantageous characteristic, said means for fixing one of said first and second longitudinal sides of the first frame to one of said first and second longitudinal beams, respectively, comprise a pivoting flange in a plane parallel to said smooth surface, engaged on a rib the first frame of thermally insulating material. The swivel flange means allows one side of the frame to be quickly trapped on the corresponding spar by quarter-turn operation, and thus to secure one side of the panel. Swivel flange prevents lift to the side of the panel from the spar. To disassemble a panel, it will be necessary to disable this pivoting flange to allow the panel to be raised, as will be explained later.

According to an advantageous characteristic, said thermally insulating material constituting said first frame comprises a polyamide. The invention furthermore relates to a method for manufacturing a wall according to the invention formed of a plurality of juxtaposed panels, of the solar panel type, assembled such that the upper faces of the plurality of panels, which define the outer face of the wall, are arranged in a smooth surface, characterized in that the method comprises a step of producing said solar panels from, for each of the panels, a filler plate for capturing solar energy and d a frame surrounding said filler plate, consisting of four section sections assembled between which said filler plate is fixed, said four section sections constituting said frame being made of a thermally insulating material. Other features and advantages will become apparent on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment of a wall and a manufacturing method thereof, according to the invention, accompanied by the drawings, given example by way of non-limiting illustration.

Figure 13 is an overall perspective view of a plurality of attachment points placed along a longitudinal spar, according to the wall example of Figure 1, showing a plurality of pivoting fastening flanges. Figure 14 is a perspective view of a fastening point as shown in Figures 11 to 13, assembled and enlarged, having a pivoting flange. Figure 15 is a view similar to Figure 14, the attachment point being shown exploded. The wall 1 shown in the figures is more particularly a roof which is advantageously integrated with a frame (not shown) and forms the integral roof of said frame, comprising its supporting structure, as detailed below. Any beams arranged transversely beneath the longitudinal longitudinal members of the wall 1 are considered to be part of the frame and have not been shown. Figure 1 shows four panels 2 juxtaposed. The roof has a plurality of panels which covers the entire area required from substantially identical solar panels. The roof shown partially in FIG. 1 is formed of a plurality of juxtaposed panels 2, of the solar panel type, preferably of the photovoltaic type, assembled so that the upper faces 3 of the plurality of panels, which define the outer face 4 of the roof, are arranged according to a smooth surface P. The folded superposed cross sections of Figure 1 substantially show the alignment of the upper faces of the panels 2. Thus, the solar panels 2 do not overlap edge to edge , except for sealing as will be explained later; two slices of solar panels 2 juxtaposed are arranged face to face longitudinally and transversely directly or indirectly, in the latter case with a portion of a crossbar between the two in the transverse direction, and / or with a portion of the spar between the two in the longitudinal direction, as will be further developed later. The roof 1, as shown more particularly in FIGS. 1 to 6, comprises: a plurality of parallel longitudinal metal longitudinal members supporting the solar panels 2, constituting the bulk of the solar panel-carrying structure, having a function of chevrons, a first panel 2a at least of the plurality of solar panels comprising a first filler plate 6 for capturing the solar energy, and a first frame 7a surrounding the first plate 6, the first frame 7a of the first panel 2a consisting of four section sections made of a thermally insulating material, and assembled so that the photovoltaic plate 6 is trapped and fixed between the frame sections; to this end, the four section sections constituting the frame 7 of a panel 2, advantageously adopt identical cross sections, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 for the longitudinal sides of the frame, and define a longitudinal housing 22 whose section transverse adopts a U-shaped inward facing frame, wherein the edges of the photovoltaic plate 6 are nested.

The four section sections constituting a frame 7 of panel 2 are thus made of a thermally insulating material, for example a plastic, polyamide or the like, rigid, and have strength characteristics appropriate to the needs. The thermally insulating frame 7 advantageously also allows electrical insulation between the photovoltaic plate 6 and the longitudinal metal longitudinal members 5, in order to ensure the safety of the persons in the event of an electrical fault on the photovoltaic plate 6, avoiding having to connect photovoltaic panels to the ground.

The first frame 7a made of thermally insulating material comprises a first 9 and a second 10 longitudinal sides resting on a first 5a and a second 5b successive metallic spars, respectively, so that the insulating material of the first frame 7a is in contact with the metal material of the first 5a and second 5b longitudinal members. The roof partially shown in the figures also comprises fastening means 17 of the first 9 and second 10 longitudinal sides of the first frame 7a to the first 5a and second 5b longitudinal longitudinal members, respectively, in engagement with the thermally insulating material of the first frame 7a. The first thermally insulating frame 7a advantageously comprises on at least a first 9 of its longitudinal sides a longitudinal rib 8 extending parallel to the smooth surface P, and on the second longitudinal side opposite the first longitudinal side, a lower plane support. 11 extending parallel to the smooth surface P.

The roof shown in the figures, and more particularly in FIGS. 5 and 6, comprises: - at least one first longitudinal metal spar 5a for supporting the first frame 7a advantageously comprising: - on a first 12 of its two longitudinal sides, a housing longitudinal U-shaped 13 whose inner faces of the legs of the U extend substantially parallel to the smooth surface P, and whose opening of the U opens on the first longitudinal side of the first longitudinal spar 5a, in a perpendicular plane or substantially perpendicular to the smooth surface P, such that each U-shaped longitudinal recess 13 of a longitudinal spar 5 of the plurality of longitudinal spars opens from the same first 12 side of each longitudinal metal support spar 5, and - at minus a second longitudinal metal spar 5b supporting the first frame 7a, parallel and successive to the first longitudinal metal spar 5a of utien the first frame 7a, and advantageously comprising: - on a second 14 of its longitudinal sides located vis-a-vis the first 12 longitudinal side of the first longitudinal metal spar 5a, a flat support 15 extending parallel to the smooth surface P, cooperating with a longitudinal free space 16 situated above the flat support 15 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the flat support 15, such that: - the longitudinal rib 8 located on the first side of the first frame 7a, extending parallel to the smooth surface P, is nested in the U-shaped longitudinal housing 13 of the first side of the first longitudinal metal spar 5a supporting the first frame 7a, as shown in Figure 6 with the panel 2 to the right of the figure, thus constituting a longitudinal connection from the first side of the first panel 2a to the first spar 5a, and that - the lower plane support 11 located on the second side of the prem frame 7a, extending parallel to the smooth surface P, in contact with the flat support 15 of the second longitudinal side of the second longitudinal metal spar support 5b of the first frame 7a, successive to the first longitudinal metal spar 5a, so as to to bond the first thermally insulating frame 7a to the first 5a and second 5b longitudinal longitudinal longitudinal stringers by the first two first and second longitudinal sides opposed to each other of the first frame 7a, by a connection in the advantageously partial example to a degree of freedom in rotation, as represented in FIG. 6, considering that the U-shaped engagement of the frame on the spar confers, by its play or elasticity, a certain limited freedom in rotation of said frame, around a longitudinal axis, with respect to said spar. The assembly structure of the solar panels 2 with the support members 5 provides good overall strength of the wall 1, while advantageously allowing rapid installation by fitting or embedding and pivoting of the panels 2 along a longitudinal interlocking axis , successively, as will be explained in more detail later. In the wall 1, the solar panels 2 and the supporting sections 5 cooperate directly with each other in the example and preferably by interlocking or embedding for a better overall resistance of the wall 1. The panels further advantageously form an integral part of the waterproofing of the roof, as will be explained below. In FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, the solar panels 2, their respective frame 7, have respectively been referenced, respectively, 2a, 2b, 2c, on the one hand and 7a, 7b, 7c, on the other hand because the panels 2 considered are identical, as well as their constituent frame 7; the index a, b, or c assigned to these references 2 or 7 indicates that it is the panel 2 or frame 7 considered for the index a, of the panel 2 or frame 7 which is adjacent thereto transversely for the index b, and panel 2 or frame 7 which is longitudinally adjacent thereto for index c, as shown in FIG. 1; the longitudinal longitudinal members 5 have also been referenced 5a or 5b indifferently in Figures 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13, because these longitudinal longitudinal members 5 are advantageously identical in the example shown. FIG. 5 shows a mounting view of a panel 2 in which the references a and b for the longitudinal members 5 apply to two longitudinal members 5 supporting a solar panel 2.

The roof partially shown in the figures also advantageously comprises: - sealing means 18 of the first solar panel 2a with the solar panels juxtaposed, as will be explained later, and - fixing means 17 of the second side of the first frame 7a to the second longitudinal spar 5b, cooperating with the U-shaped interlock located on the first 9 side of the first frame 7a to fix the latter to the first 5a and second 5b successive longitudinal spars. The solar panels 2, as shown more particularly in Figures 2 to 4, respectively comprise a filler plate of known photovoltaic plate type 6 or laminated, and which will therefore not be described in more detail here. It will be simply stated that the plate 6 may comprise, in a known manner, from the outside towards the inside, a glass layer, a first encapsulant layer, photovoltaic cells, a second encapsulating layer, and a protective film in under face. The solar panel 2 further comprises, in known manner, an electrical connection box (not shown), disposed under the plate 6 inside the frame, which allows to connect the panels together, and to make an electrical circuit. The connection box also has a role of electrical protection. This plate 6 is enclosed in the frame 7 which furthermore has the following functions: to confer on the panel 2 its mechanical strength, and in particular its intrinsic rigidity, in particular with a view to its transport, and its handling during the assembly of the roof, protect the plate 6 against possible breakage, thanks to the resistance conferred by the frame 7 secured, and in particular the edges of the plate 6 against shocks for example, - participate in the strength of the roof, thanks to the inertia of the cross section of the frame, and by its connection to longitudinal longitudinal members 5; the frames 7 are thus an integral part of the supporting structure of the roof.

Due to the identity of the sections of the frame 7, the rib 8 is peripheral around the frame. Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, it can be seen that the cross-section of the thermally insulating profile constituting the frame 7 advantageously adopts a shape of two U's inverted and secured by one of their branches, a first U in the upper part of the section, turned towards the inside of the frame for fixing the photovoltaic plate 6, and in the lower part, a second U facing outwardly of the frame 7, the lower branch of the second U constituting the rib 8 of assembly with the spar 5 as explained above. The second U may consist of a double wall, as shown, both to increase the inertia module of the section and to increase the thermal insulation if necessary by the presence of a cellular section for example. The outer portion of the lower branch of the second U is advantageously constitutive of the lower plane support 11 of the frame 7 for the seat thereof on the longitudinal spar 5, as explained above. The frame 7 adopts, for example, a polygonal planar shape, for example preferably rectangular or square, so that the side-by-side assembly of the frames 7 constitutes a construction of puzzle, mosaic or similar type, and covers the surface of the roof. The joining lines of the panels 2 in the direction of the longitudinal members 5 necessarily pass along said longitudinal longitudinal members. The roof shown in the figures, and more particularly partially in FIG. 5, advantageously comprises a plurality of metal crosspieces 19 arranged between the longitudinal metal longitudinal members 5 of the plurality of longitudinal longitudinal members 5, a metal cross member being placed in abutment on two first 5a and 5b successive longitudinal metal longitudinal members so as to provide support for a first 7a and a third 7c thermally insulating frames of the first 2a and third 2c panels juxtaposed by their third 20 and fourth transverse sides, respectively perpendicular to said first 9 and second 10 longitudinal sides thereof. Two successive metal crosspieces 19 make it possible to support the same frame 7 by its third 20 and fourth 21 transverse sides as shown in FIG. 5. The metal crosspieces 19 may for example be derived from profiles and adopt a cross-section. single, for example a U-shaped cross section, the base of the U extends on either side of the branches of the U, by two support wings, respectively, constituting support for the two frames 7 juxtaposed to the same cross 19 on either side of the U, via the lower single support 11 of the transverse sides 20 and 21 of each of the two juxtaposed frames 7, as shown in the detail view of Figure 1 relating to the section of a 19. The sleepers 19 may advantageously assume a draining function of the infiltration and condensation water which may appear at the transverse junction of the panels and under the panels 2 themselves, via transverse drainage ducts 30 formed in the U of the cross member 19 and for example on one of the extension wings of the base of the U-beam 19, as shown in said detail view of FIG. 1. These transverse drainage ducts 30 on the metal crosspieces 19 open at their ends on two longitudinal longitudinal metal longitudinal members 5a and 5b, which take up the drainage of this water via longitudinal conduits 31 collector of all the transverse ducts 30 opening on these two sections 5a and 5b, as represented by 6. The sleepers 19 may simply be placed on the longitudinal longitudinal members 5 and made trapped by the attachment of the frames 7 to said longitudinal members as will be explained later, or attached directly to these longitudinal members, for example by screws (not shown in FIG. shown). The sleepers 19 which are made of metal, for example light alloy, and are used to resume the forces exerted on the load-bearing structure, weight of solar panels, wind, snow, or weights of maintenance technicians. In addition, these crosspieces 19 are advantageously used to wedge the panels 2 between them along the axis of the slope. The sleepers 19 will preferably be fixed according to the inclination of the roof, in order to recover the forces due to the weight of the panels 2 in the direction of the slope. The plurality of longitudinal metal longitudinal members 5 respectively and advantageously, as shown more particularly in Figures 5, 6, 11, and 13, a plurality of sections 5 of identical cross section, including the first 5a and second 5b longitudinal longitudinal members. The wall 1 described makes it possible to use a plurality of preferably identical spars 5, despite an asymmetrical assembly of the solar panels on two successive spars.

Referring more particularly to FIG. 6, a longitudinal metal profile adopts any section able to withstand the mechanical strength of the bending carrier structure as a function, in particular, of the weight of the panels, for example a T-shaped cross-section. overturned, preferably honeycombed, the foot bar of the T comprising at its upper free end the longitudinal groove 13 U-shaped interlocking frames 7 and the simple support 15 for said frames 7, as shown in Figure 6 and explained more high. The metal crosspieces 19 are placed in abutment on the longitudinal sides 12, 14 of the metal rails 5, as shown in FIG. 6, for example on longitudinal legs 32 enabling these crosspieces 19 to be screwed to the longitudinal longitudinal members 5 at their ends. The longitudinal longitudinal members 5 are fixed to the frame by beams or the like, in a known manner (not shown). Since the flat support 15 of the spar 5 is located at the upper end of the foot, it will be noted that there is a free space 16 situated above the flat support 15 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the support plan 15, so that the second side 10 of a panel 2 can be placed on the support plane 15, through the frame 7 of the panel, by rotation around the rib 8 of the latter located on the opposite side and fitted into the spar 5 juxtaposed. Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 1 to 11, the sealing means 18 advantageously comprise, for a first panel 2a, a first, thermally insulating roofing seal 23, fixed and extending advantageously over the second longitudinal side of the frame 7a of the first panel 2a, which is in the example resting on the flat support 15 of the second longitudinal spar 5b, cooperating with the free space 16 situated above the flat support 15 and extending in a direction perpendicular thereto, occupied by the second side of the first frame 7a of the first panel 2a, the first seal 23 covering the edge of the first side of a second panel 2b juxtaposed with the first panel 2a, comprising a second thermally insulating frame 7b having a longitudinal rib 8 engaged in the U-shaped metal housing 13 of the first side of the second longitudinal spar 5b, so as to form a part thermal break between the external medium in contact with the outer face 4 of the wall 1 on the one hand, and the longitudinal longitudinal support spar 5 of the first 2a and second 2b panels on the other hand, via the first 7a and second 7b frames of insulating material. The sealing means 18 advantageously furthermore comprise a second, thermally insulating wall seal 24, fixed and extending on one of the third 20 and fourth transverse sides of the frame 7a of the first panel 2a, the second joint 24 sealant covering the edge of the transverse side vis-à-vis a third panel 2c juxtaposed to the first panel 2a having a third frame 7c of insulating material, so as to form a thermal bridge break between the external medium in contact with the outer face 4 of the wall 1 on the one hand, and the metal support 19 supporting the first 2a and third 2c panels on the other hand, through the first 7a and third 7c frames of insulating material. In the example shown, the second seal 24 advantageously extends on the third side 20 of the frame 7a, or on the lower transverse side, as shown in FIG. 5, so that the panels 2 are laid from the bottom to the high. In addition, this arrangement of the second seal 24, on the lower transverse side of a panel 2, has the advantage of a reinforced transverse seal with the joints 23, 24 as described below. As shown in FIG. 6, and as detailed below, the fastening means 17 disposed on the longitudinal side of the first frame 7a, in which the first seal 23 extends, comprise a metallic material, and are advantageously arranged below the first thermally insulating seal 23, between the latter and the longitudinal longitudinal support spar of the first 2a and second 2b panels, such that these fastening means 17 are not in contact with the outer face 4 of the wall 1, so that these fastening means 17 do not establish a thermal bridge between the external medium and the metal spar 5.

It is the seals 23, 24 which determine the orientation of a panel 2 on the roof in the case where the four sides of the frame 7 are identical, with respect to its four possible positions. Advantageously, as more particularly shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the first 23 and second 24 seals respectively adopt a T-shaped cross-section, the transverse bar 25 of the T covering two juxtaposed edges of two panels 2 juxtaposed, and the vertical bar 26 of the T being associated with the first frame 7a. The vertical bar 26 of the T preferably has at its free end a longitudinal return 27 extending in the direction of the transverse bar 25 of the T, as shown in Figure 2 or 4, the longitudinal return 27 being engaged in a groove 28 of the first frame 7a thermally insulating panel 2a for fixing the seals 23, 24 thermally insulating on the first panel 2a. The sides of the first frame 7a is preferably of identical section, it is advantageous that the first 23 and second 24 seals, are profiled joints of identical cross section. The longitudinal return 27 is inserted in force, by a clipping-type connection, in the groove 28 of the thermally insulating frame 7a, in order to be fixed firmly thereto, conferring between each seal 23, 24 and the frame 7a, a complete rigid connection capable of sealing the transverse bar of the T on the panel 2b, 2c juxtaposed. The first 23 and second 24 seals are advantageously dual-hardness joints, the transverse bar of the T having at its two transverse ends respectively at least two longitudinal sealing lips made of a flexible thermally insulating elastic material, the structure T being made of a rigid or substantially rigid plastic material so as to impart to the seal its mechanical strength for a connection thereof with the frame 7 of panel 2. In the example shown, each transverse end of the transverse bar 25 T preferably comprises two parallel longitudinal lips as shown in Figures 2 and 4 to enhance the seal. The longitudinal recess 27 and the transverse bar portion of the T face to face, form a clipping clip of the gasket 23, 24 on the edge of the frame 7 as shown in FIG. upstream of the roof, for the transverse seal 24, it advantageously strengthens by its elastic clamping force the sealing of the or lips of the clamp, located opposite the longitudinal return 27. Thus, the placement of the transverse seal 24 in the lower part of the frame 7 (third side 20 in the example) which has to cope with the maximum water flow pressure on the roof, is preferred. The first 23 and second 24 seals are advantageously joined at an angle of the first frame 7a by a corner sealing piece 33, more particularly shown in FIGS. 5 to 11. This piece 33 of corner sealing of substantially square or rectangular shape in plan view, covers the ends of the two thermally insulating seals 23, 24 joining in said angle of the first thermally insulating frame 7a, and form sealing with said ends so that the water can not normally not infiltrate between the part 33 and the seals 23 and 24. The piece 33 of angle seal is fixed to the angle of the frame 7 by any means, for example by clipping and / or gluing, so that two sides of the square or rectangle defined by this piece 33 form two free edges 34, 35 of cover, respectively extending the first 23 and second 24 seals, optionally and advantageously provided with a sealing foam (not shown), to cover the free ends of the two seals 23, 24 of the two panels 2b and 2c juxtaposed to the first panel 2a, as shown in Figure 9. The bonding of the corner piece 33 also advantageously makes it possible to seal the 45 ° angle of the section sections constituting the frame 7. The angle sealing piece 33 is made of flexible plastic material or semi rigid thermally insulating. In the example shown, the attachment of the piece 33 in the angle of the frame 7 is in particular made by a bracket 36 of angular positioning, protruding at right angles under the cap 37 of square or rectangular shape, the bracket 36 advantageously comprising a rib 58 fitting into the outer corner edge 39 of the frame 7. In addition, the corner sealing piece 33 preferably comprises a centering stud 38, placed under the cap 37, which advantageously insert in the upper inner corner of the first frame 7a and for example bears on the filler plate 6 of the panel 2a. Three other pads 40, 41, 42, respectively disposed at the other three angles of the cap 37, advantageously and respectively bear on the three photovoltaic plates of the three adjacent panels. The sealing means 18 as described above for the first panel 2a are advantageously identical for the other solar panels of the plurality of solar panels 2. Thus, a panel 2 has only two of its sides provided with a seal, joining in an angle of the panel by means of a piece of sealing angle. As more particularly shown in FIGS. 5, 6, and 11 to 15, the fastening means 17 of the second side of the first frame 7a to the second longitudinal spar 5b, cooperating with the U-shaped interlock located on the first side of the first frame 7a for fixing the latter to the first 5a and second 5b longitudinal longitudinal sidings, advantageously comprise a pivoting flange 29 in a plane parallel to the smooth surface P, having the effect of preventing in the example the rotation of the first panel 2a around an axis parallel to the longitudinal rib 8 of the first frame 7a, blocking the second side of the first frame 7a between the flat support 15 of the second spar 5b and the pivoting flange 29.

It is noted in Figure 1 main (top view of the wall 1), the fixing points 17 are not visible, being advantageously hidden under the seals 23 as shown in Figure 6; in this figure 1, the attachment points 17 have not been shown on the folded section of the longitudinal members 5, to simplify this section, an attachment point 17 being shown elsewhere in FIG. 6. The fastening means 17 for a panel 2 may comprise several advantageously identical fastening points evenly distributed along the second side 10 of the frame 7 of the panel 2, or evenly distributed along the length of each longitudinal spar 5, as shown in FIG. 13 where three points are seen A particularly advantageous attachment point will now be described with the aid of FIGS. 6, 14 and 15 more particularly. An attachment point 17 comprises: a metal rod 43 intended to be fastened at one end to the longitudinal metal spar, for example by screwing or the like, in a median zone of the spar 5 left free between the two panels 2a, 2b when the latter are supported on the spar 5; a metal swivel flange 29 around the longitudinal axis of the rod 43; - A metal nut 44 screwed onto the other end 47 of the rod 43, free, to immobilize by screwing the flange 29 in the holding position of the panel 2 on the longitudinal spar 5, in cooperation with the U-fit located on the first opposite side 9 of the panel 2 considered. The metal rod 43 preferably comprises a transverse flange 45 positioned substantially midway between its two ends 46, 47, intended to serve, on one of its faces, abutment of depression of the rod 43 in the spar 5, as shown in FIG. 6, and on the opposite side, of its faces, of support for the metal swivel flange 29 during screwing by means of the nut 44 so that a pressure is preferably exerted by the flange 29 on the frame 7 after screwing the nut 44. The end 46 of the rod 43 intended to be inserted into the longitudinal spar 5 may comprise for example a profile giving it a self-tapping capacity as shown in FIGS. or 15. The other end 47 of the rod 43 is threaded for screwing the nut 44. The free end 47 of the rod 43 is advantageously provided with a direct drive means 50 for a tool (not shown) screwing and unscrewing of the rod 43, for example screwing the rod 43 alone, and unscrewing the rod 43 provided with the flange 29 and the associated nut 44. The profiles 5 are advantageously equipped in the workshop with fixing points each consisting of a rod 43, a flange 29 and a nut 44.

In case of replacement of a panel 2, the operator, by means 50 of direct drive, can disable the fixing point faster by quarter-turn partial unscrewing, by acting directly on the rod 43, instead of having to unscrew the nut 44 then to maneuver the pivoting flange 29 to release the second side 10 of the panel 2 before lifting it by pivoting about the U-shaped interlock located on the opposite first side 9 of the frame 7. Once the Quarter-turn type movement performed by the operator, the panel 2 is free to be rotated. This engagement means 50 may for example consist of a faceted hole, as shown, accessible from above the end 47 of the rod 43, for an intravis-type key or the like (not shown). The flange 29 consists of an oblong metal plate at a first end 52 of which is formed a hole 51 for passage of the rod 43, whose diameter is smaller than the outside diameter of the flange 45. The length of the oblong metal plate is defined so that the second end 53 of the oblong plate can pass above the rib 8 of the frame 7 placed on the spar 5, when the longitudinal axis of the oblong plate is rotated so as to be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spar 5 or locking position as shown in Figure 11; in this locking position, the frame 7 is immobilized against the spar 5 and can not be pivoted or lifted. The width of the oblong plate is such that when the longitudinal axis of this oblong plate is rotated so as to be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spar 5, or positioning position of the panel, as shown in FIG. 13, the frame 7 is released from the spar 5 and can be pivoted about the axis of rotation defined by the rib 8 located on the first side 9 of the frame 7, nested in the U-shaped housing of the adjacent spar 5. The first end 52 of the plate 29 will advantageously be provided with a stop 54, for example a right angle, as shown in FIGS. 12, 14 and 15, intended to prevent the complete rotation of the flange 29 once the latter has been in place. on the spar. The stop 54 is made in such a way that it will limit the rotation of the pivoting flange 29 from its installation position of the panel 2 (FIG. 9) to its locking position (FIG. 11) as explained above, either in the example at a quarter-turn rotation of the flange. The limitation of rotation of the flange 29 is advantageously by bearing it against the longitudinal spar 5 by means of the abutment 54, in the example against the outer surface of a longitudinal wall of the spar 5 constituting the housing 13 in U, as shown in particular in FIGS. 6 and 11. FIG. 12 shows the flange 29 in an intermediate position between the locking position of the panel 2 and the positioning position of the panel 2; in this figure 12, the stop 54 is not in abutment against the spar 5. Figure 12 shows further that the locking is oriented, in the example preferably in the direction of clockwise. The nut 44 must make it possible to immobilize the flange 29 in position perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spar 5 to fix the frame 7 of the panel on the spar 5, by screwing the nut on the rod 43 and clamping the flange. 29 pivoting against the flange 45. It should be noted that the fixing point as described above is, once the panels 2 assembled on the support structure comprising the longitudinal members 5 and possibly the cross members 19, inaccessible, as shown on Figure 6. When mounting the panels 2 successively, as will be explained later, this is not a problem for the panel 2a, because at the time of fixing this panel 2a, the adjacent panel 2b is not yet in place, thus releasing access to the attachment point 17, and so on for the successive panels that can be easily blocked with the fastening means 17 as and when they are laid. However, once all the panels 2 assembled on the longitudinal members 5, in the case of dismantling a panel 2 for maintenance or replacement thereof for example, it is necessary to access the fixing points in order to disable and be able to remove the defective panel wall 1. This access to the attachment points 17 is advantageously under the longitudinal seal 23 of this panel in a location whose access is thus limited and not visible. The deactivation of the fixing point 17 by a direct unscrewing action on the rod 43, of the quarter-turn movement type, reverses the quarter-turn movement of the flange 29 alone for fastening the panel, via the engagement means 50, as well as the position of the longitudinal axis of this rod 43 below the seal 23, facilitates in this case the disassembly of the panel, for example via a hole in the seal 23 above the point which must be deactivated. For this purpose, a mapping of the location of the attachment points 17 will be retained. The hole in the seal 23, necessary for access of the disassembly tool to the fixing point, can then, once the panel 2 is put back in place and fixed, be plugged by means of a suitable sealant seal. The engagement means 50 disposed hollow at the end of the axis of the rod 43, advantageously makes it possible to be actuated by a small-sized tool (not shown), such as a screwdriver shaft, an intra-screw key, or the like, in this case of small diameter, according to a rotation about the vertical axis of the rod 43, thus minimizing the necessary hole for passage in the joint 23.

An example of a method of manufacturing a wall 1 formed of a plurality of juxtaposed panels 2 of the solar panel type, assembled such that the upper faces 3 of the plurality of panels, which define the outer face 4 of the wall , are arranged in a smooth surface P, as described above, comprises a step of producing the solar panels 2 from, for each of the panels 2, a filler plate 6 for capturing solar energy and a frame 7 surrounding the filler plate 6, consisting of four assembled section sections between which the filler plate is fixed, the four section sections constituting the frame 7 being made of a thermally insulating material and preferably from profiles having sections identical.

An example of a method of assembling a wall 1 as described above will now be described. The method comprises the following steps: - producing a plurality of solar panels 2 as previously described, advantageously all identical, whose respective frames 7 are thermally insulating, - producing a carrier structure, as described above, comprising a plurality of longitudinal longitudinal members 5 parallel support of the solar panels 2, and preferably a plurality of associated metal crossbars 19 as described above, so that: - at least a first longitudinal metal spar 5a supporting the first frame 7a thermally insulating a first panel 2a comprises on a first 12 of its two longitudinal sides, a longitudinal recess 13 in U whose inner faces of the legs of the U extend substantially parallel to the smooth surface P, and whose opening of the U opens on the first 12 side longitudinal axis of the first spar 5a in a perpendicular or substantially perpendicular plane perpendicularly to the smooth surface P, so that each U-shaped longitudinal housing 13 of a longitudinal spar 5 of the plurality of longitudinal spars opens from the same first 12 side of each longitudinal support spar 5, and - at least one second longitudinal metal spar 5b supporting the first frame 7a thermally insulating, parallel and successive to the first longitudinal spar support 5a of the first frame, has on a second 14 of its longitudinal sides located vis-à-vis the first 12 longitudinal side of first longitudinal spar 5a, a plane support 15 extending in a plane parallel to the smooth surface P, cooperating with a free space 16 situated above the flat support 15 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the support plan 15, - fit the longitudinal rib 8 located on the first 9 longitudinal side of the first solar panel 2a, on the first longitudinal spar 5a located at a lat end erale of the carrier structure, and the lower end of the first spar 5a, in the U-shaped longitudinal housing 13 thereof whose opening is turned towards the second longitudinal spar 5b in succession, so as to immobilize the first side 9 of the panel 2a on the first spar 5a, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wall 1 and the spar 5a, while allowing a pivoting of the panel towards the outside about a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal U-shaped housing; the second longitudinal side of the first solar panel 2a, by means of its lower plane support 11, on the plane support 15 disposed on the second longitudinal side of the second longitudinal longitudinal sill 5b, by rotation of the first solar panel 2a around a longitudinal axis substantially passing through the longitudinal rib 8, - fixing the second longitudinal side of the first frame 7a to the second longitudinal spar 5b, for example by means of three points of f ixation 17 as described above, engaged on the second longitudinal spar 5b, preferably for each fixing point 17 a quarter-turn type of movement on a pivoting flange 29, so that the latter passes over the rib 8 of the frame to prevent the pivoting of the first panel 2a, and tighten the flange 29 in the locking position of the first panel 2a by means of a nut 44, - repeat the steps of interlocking the longitudinal rib 8 and laying the second longitudinal side of the panels, successively for the panels 2 of the plurality of panels, from the first solar panel 2a placed on the first longitudinal spar 5a located at a lateral end of the supporting structure, and in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction oriented, the orientation of the transverse direction being given by the direction in which open the housing 13 in U of the longero ns longitudinal 5, - set the panels 2 as and when their installation, 35 before the nesting of a panel 2 juxtaposed prevents access to the fixing points. The assembly method described is simple and fast; more particularly, the installation of a panel is simplified and fast, made in two operations: fit the rib in the U-shaped groove of the spar and then put the panel on the adjacent spar; the interlocking of the rib can advantageously be done with an inclined panel to present the rib in the lower part for nesting, then the complete installation of the panel is done by simple rotation, once the interlocking realized, until the support on the spar, under the simple weight of the panel. When laying the panels 2 in the longitudinal direction, in the example of the lower end of the longitudinal spar towards the upper end thereof, the last panel 2 is placed resting on two longitudinal members 5a, 5b successive and preferably against a crossmember 19 each able to take all the more weight of the panel 2 that the wall is vertical. The panels 2 can be laid longitudinally successively for all the panels 2 of a longitudinal row resting on two successive longitudinal members 5a, 5b, then fixing all the panels 2 of the longitudinal row on the spar 5b with the attachment points 17 described above, before installing the panels 2 longitudinally of the successive longitudinal row, resting on the longitudinal members 5b, 5c in order to access the fixing points on the spar 5b. The installation can be done so on until the completion of the roof.

The laying of the panels 2 can be carried transversely successively for all the panels 2 of a transverse row resting on all the longitudinal members 5, then all the panels of the upper transverse row. In this installation mode, each panel 2 placed must be immediately fixed with its attachment points 17, because the adjacent adjacent panel would hide access to these attachment points. Once the first lower transverse row of panels 2 has been placed, the operator can set and fix the next upper adjacent transverse row, and so on until the last highest transversal row of the roof. Another method of laying may be to lay the panels simultaneously in the two transverse and longitudinal directions combined, respecting the orientation of these directions because of the position of the seals 23, 24 covering the panels 2 as explained more high. The solar panels are thus placed successively next to each other respectively in two directions and two single directions of laying, the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction. The single direction of longitudinal laying depends on the location of the transverse seal. The installation of the panels is thus simple and fast. In all cases of laying mode, the solar panels 2 must be electrically connected together via the connection boxes (not shown), this in a known manner. According to the example of the assembly method described, the step of sealing the wall 1, consists in sealing the wall, progressively, by the successive laying operation of the solar panels 2 next to each other. others, each provided with sealing means 18 as described above, the seal between two juxtaposed sides of two juxtaposed solar panels being formed by the installation of two panels juxtaposed on the longitudinal members and sleepers. The wall according to the invention is suitable for flat roofs, curved profile faceted, sloping, horizontal, or vertical walls, depending on the needs according to the disposition of the wall with respect to the sun.
