Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a solar panel installation system for continuously installing a plurality of solar panels in the vertical direction along the side of a building.

Conventionally, there has been proposed a solar cell system in which a solar panel is installed in a state in which it is suspended from a horizontal bar (for example, Patent Literature 1).

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, in a solar cell system (1), three solar panels (10) are suspended from horizontal bars (2). A support member (20) is attached to the horizontal bar (2), and each solar panel (10) is swingably supported by the support member (20). That is, each solar panel (10) is suspended from the horizontal rod (2) so as to be swingable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the horizontal rod (2).

WO2015/029728

By the way, in buildings such as mid-to-high-rise buildings, installing a plurality of solar panels so as to cover the entire side surface (for example, the side surface on the veranda side) is being studied. By doing so, compared to installing solar panels only on a part of the side, the amount of power generated is greater and a sense of unity in appearance is created.

However, in buildings with a relatively large number of floors, such as high-rise buildings, the number of solar panels installed in the vertical direction also increases, making installation more difficult. In particular, when a large number of solar panels are installed in the vertical direction, it is difficult to adopt a configuration in which they are suspended from horizontal bars as in the invention of Patent Document 1.

In addition, when installing multiple solar panels to cover the entire side of the building, we are considering rotating the multiple solar panels integrally along the direction of sunlight in order to secure more power generation. It is In that case, it is preferable to rotate the several solar panel continuously installed about the perpendicular direction by one drive device.

However, as the number of solar panels installed in the vertical direction increases, a new problem arises in that the load on the gears and the like that constitute the driving device also increases.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of stably installing a plurality of solar panels in the vertical direction on the side of a building, and integrating the plurality of vertically installed solar panels using a common driving device. To provide a solar panel installation system that can be rotated to

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a solar panel installation system for continuously installing a plurality of solar panels in the vertical direction along the side of a building, which is fixed to the roof of the building. a beam member partially protruding from the side surface; a wire having an upper end side directly or indirectly connected to the portion of the beam member protruding from the side surface and extending in the vertical direction; a base member to which the lower end side is connected; a cylindrical core column placed on the base member and extending from the base member toward the beam member with the wire inserted therein; and the core column and a driving device that rotates the core pillar by rotating the gear. The solar panel installation system is characterized in that the plurality of solar panels are continuously fixed with respect to the vertical direction.

Here, the lower end of the wire is provided with a hook, the base member is provided with a hook engaging hole, and the lower end of the wire is attached to the base member by hooking the hook on the hook engaging hole. is preferably connected to

Moreover, it is preferable that the core pillar is provided with a fixing frame for fixing the solar panel, and the solar panel is fixed to the core pillar via the fixing frame.

Further, it is preferable that the driving device includes a driving gear that meshes with the gear and a motor that rotates the driving gear, and the gear rotates following rotation of the driving gear.

Furthermore, it is preferable that a plate having an insertion hole through which the wire can be inserted is fixed to the upper end of the core pillar, and the gear is fixed to the core pillar via the plate.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, several solar panels are fixed to the core pillar mounted in the base member, and the core pillar is installed in the state suspended by the beam member by the wire connected to the base member. Therefore, it is possible to stably install a plurality of solar panels in the vertical direction on the side of the building. Moreover, since the plurality of solar panels are continuously fixed to the core pillar in the vertical direction, the plurality of solar panels can be integrally rotated using a common driving device.

In addition, like the solar panel installation system according to the present invention, a plurality of solar panels are fixed to the core pillar placed on the base member, and the core pillar is placed on the base member suspended by the wire.

Next, the operation of controlling the orientation of the panel surface of the solar panel 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG.

In order to obtain a larger amount of power generation in photovoltaic power generation, it is preferable to arrange the panel surface of the photovoltaic panel 7 perpendicularly to the direction of sunlight. Therefore, in this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the solar panel 7 is rotated according to the direction of sunlight by controlling the motor 8 .

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the panel surface of the solar panel 7 is arranged parallel to the side surface of the building 10 . FIG. 6 illustrates the solar panel 7 installed in the building 10 in which the inside of the building faces north and the outside of the building (the side where the veranda is arranged) faces south.

As shown in FIG. 7(A), in a south-facing condominium, the motor 8 is controlled to rotate the core pillar 6 so that the panel surface of the solar panel 7 faces the east during sunrise.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7(B), the motor 8 is controlled to rotate the core pillar 6 clockwise so that the panel surface of the solar panel 7 gradually faces south as time elapses.

With the passage of time, the motor 8 is controlled to further rotate the core pillar 6 clockwise, so that the panel surface of the solar panel 7 faces south around noon as shown in FIG. 7(C).

After noon, the motor 8 is controlled to further rotate the core pillar 6 clockwise, so that the panel surface of the solar panel 7 gradually faces west as shown in FIG. 7(D).

By controlling the motor 8 as described above, it is possible to keep the panel surface of the solar panel 7 nearly perpendicular to the direction of sunlight.

According to the above-described embodiment, a plurality of solar panels 7 are fixed to the core pillar 6 placed on the base member 4, and the core pillar 6 is hung from the beam member 3 (specifically, the support plate 31) by the wire 5. installed in a closed position. Therefore, it is possible to stably install a plurality of solar panels 7 in the vertical direction on the side (veranda side) of the building (middle-to-high-rise condominium).

In particular, in the embodiment described above, since the core post 6 is suspended by the wire 5, the load applied to the driven gear 61, the drive gear 81, and the motor 8 for rotating the core post 6 is reduced.

Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the plurality of solar panels 7 are continuously fixed to the core pillar 6 in the vertical direction. Therefore, it is possible to integrally rotate a plurality of solar panels 7 with one motor 8 .
