Description

  The present invention relates to a method for fixing a solar cell module.

  Conventionally, for example, a solar cell panel installed on a roof of a general house is generally a solar cell with a tempered glass cover. In this solar cell with a tempered glass cover, an aluminum U-shaped frame filled with a waterproof sealing material is used as a strength support for the solar cell module from the viewpoint of wind resistance and a waterproof seal at the end. . Furthermore, when installing, a dedicated gantry is used in order to operate efficiently considering the direction of the sun and the like. When such a gantry is used, it is necessary to strengthen the gantry support, foundation and the like due to wind resistance.

  Thus, when installing the conventional solar cell with a tempered glass cover, the installation place was limited to what has a solid foundation to some extent. In addition, since tempered glass, an aluminum frame, and a gantry are used, installation becomes difficult due to problems such as weight as the scale (size) of the solar cell increases, which further increases costs.

Furthermore, since the scale of the solar cell to be installed varies depending on the user, an aluminum frame and a base having a size according to the request are required, so that mass production is difficult.
On the other hand, a solar cell module that does not use a glass cover has also been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 1 includes a solar cell module, a sheet-like member that attaches the solar cell module to the surface thereof, and a winding member that is held by fixing one end of the sheet-like member and winding the other end. A solar power generation device is disclosed. However, the structure of the solar cell module and the specific method for joining the solar cell module and the sheet-like member are not disclosed.
JP-A-3-34584

As a method for joining the solar cell module and the sheet-like member, a method using an adhesive is common.
For example, as a material of the surface where the solar cell module is in contact with the sheet-like member, a hardly adhesive fluorine-based film or a polyester-based film is used. Agent).

  However, since the solar cell module is naturally used under outdoor sunlight, even when it has good adhesive properties as described above, expansion and dimensional change due to temperature rise under sunlight, etc. For this reason, there was a problem that the adhesive part peeled off.

Further, there has been no conventional method for easily and surely attaching solar cells to various places using such a solar cell module that does not use a glass cover.
The subject of this invention is providing the fixing method of the solar cell module which can fix a solar cell module to various structures simply, reliably, and cheaply.

The method for fixing a solar cell module according to the present invention fixes a solar cell module having a solar cell and a flexible sheet for protecting the solar cell to the periphery of the solar cell to a structural support. When

  The solar cell module is used, for example, as a float for solar power generation in which a solar cell module is fixed on a float that floats on a lake surface. Thus, when used on the surface of the water, higher waterproofness is required as compared with the case where it is attached to the roof of a normal private house. However, since the solar cell module has enhanced the fixing and waterproofing functions, No problem.

  As described above in detail, according to the solar cell module fixing method of the present invention, a solar cell module composed of a solar cell and a flexible sheet for protecting the solar cell can be surely and simply, Can be fixed to various structures.

Or you may use cloth materials, such as a glass fiber cloth and polyester nonwoven fabric which affixed the metal foil or metal plate for waterproofing. This is effective in improving adhesion and preventing shrinkage of the sealing resin 12 such as EVA.

In addition, the thickness of the metal foil laminate using a metal foil such as an aluminum foil is preferably 0.1 mm or less, more preferably 0.05 mm or less.
As a method for manufacturing the solar cell module 10, a method such as a vacuum laminating method or a roll laminating method is used.

Although not shown or described in particular, a cord for electrically connecting the solar cells is encapsulated in, for example, a sealing resin 12.
The solar cell module 10 used in each example described below may be any material as long as the material of each component satisfies the above conditions, and is appropriately manufactured according to the situation and manufactured by the above manufacturing method. What is used is used.

In each of the embodiments described below, an example of each component is shown and described. However, it may be appropriately selected as described above, and is not limited to that of each embodiment. 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining a reference example (No. 1) , and show an example in which the attachment destination of the solar cell module 10 is a sheet-like member.

  2A and 2B are diagrams showing an example of a method for sewing the solar cell module to a sheet-like member. FIG. 2A is a top view and FIG. 2B is a side cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′. . In FIG. 2A, the sheet-like member 20 is a flexible resin sheet made of, for example, a base resin and reinforcing fibers.

  Base resin is, for example, soft vinyl chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyester, polymethacrylate, tetrafluorinated polyethylene copolymer (for example, tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer) Polymer, tetrafluoroethylene-6fluorinated propylene copolymer), vinyl fluoride resin, vinylidene fluoride resin, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone resin and the like are used alone or in combination.

  The reinforcing fiber is, for example, cotton, stainless steel fiber, glass fiber, nylon fiber, polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, vinylon fiber, Tetoron (Teijin, Toray trade name) fiber, polypropylene fiber, aramid fiber, carbon fiber or the like alone or Used in combination. After these fibers are processed as a cloth material such as cloth or nonwoven fabric, for example, by a known method such as a calender method, a notch touch dryer method, a roll coater method, a knife coater method, a heat laminator method, a dry laminator method, etc. A sheet-like member 20 that is a sheet is manufactured.

  The thread 21 is a thread for sewing the solar cell module 10 and the sheet-like member 20 together. Examples of the thread material of the thread 21 include cotton, stainless steel fiber, glass fiber, nylon fiber, polyester fiber, acrylic fiber, vinylon fiber, Tetoron (trade name of Teijin, Toray), polypropylene fiber, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, Tens fiber or the like is used alone or mixed to be processed into a combined yarn material.

The method of sewing the solar cell module 10 and the sheet-like member 20 with the thread 21 is, for example, using an industrial sewing machine.
The position where the solar cell module 10 and the sheet-like member 20 are stitched together by the thread 21 is, for example, between the outer peripheral portion of the solar cell module 10 and each solar cell 13 as indicated by a broken line in FIG.

Since the threads are sewn together in this way, the solar cell module 10 does not peel from the sheet-like member 20 even if exposed to sunlight for a long time.
FIGS. 3A and 3B show an example in which the solar cell module 10 of the reference example (No. 1) is sewn to the sheet-like member 20.

FIG. 3A is an external view of a leisure tent 22 to which the solar cell module 10 is sewn.
In FIG. 3A, a part (one surface) of the leisure tent 22 corresponds to the sheet-like member 20.

The material of the seat portion of the leisure tent 22 as the sheet-like member 20 is, for example, Tetoron (trade name of Teijin, Toray) fiber reinforced vinyl chloride sheet.
In FIG. 3A, the solar cell module 10 uses, for example, a tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer film (hereinafter referred to as “ETFE23”) having a thickness of 23 μm as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11. Two thermosetting ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer sheets having a thickness of 0.5 mm are used as the sealing resin 12. A polyimide substrate a-Si cell is used as the solar battery cell 13. Then, the “ETFE23” is used as the back surface protective film 14. And it manufactures, for example by a vacuum laminating method.

  The size and quantity of the solar cells 13 may be appropriately determined according to the size of the leisure tent 22 and the overall balance. For example, the size of the solar cell module 10 using three cells each having a size of 800 mm × 400 mm for each solar cell 13 is suitably in the range of 860 mm × 1240 mm to 920 × 1420 mm. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the solar cell module 10 is sewn to a part of a leisure tent 22 by an industrial sewing machine using a thread 21. The yarn 21 is a polyester fiber yarn. The sewing position is, for example, a position indicated by a broken line in FIG.

FIG. 3B is an external view of the simple dome-like structure 23 to which the solar cell module 10 is sewn.
In FIG. 3B, a part of the dome-shaped roof material of the simple dome-shaped structure 23 corresponds to the sheet-like member 20. The material of the dome-shaped roof material is, for example, a glass fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene sheet (generic name: PTFE-glass cloth).

  In FIG. 3B, for example, as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 and the back surface protective film 14 of the solar cell module 10, a 100 μm thick ethylene tetrafluoride-6 fluorinated propylene copolymer film (hereinafter referred to as “FEP100”). ")" And an aramid fiber is used as the material of the thread 21.

  Then, the solar cell module 10 is sewn to a part of the dome-shaped roof material of the simple dome-shaped structure 23 using the thread 21 by the industrial sewing machine. The sewing operation is performed before the dome-shaped roof material is attached as the roof of the simple dome-shaped structure 23.

Although not specifically shown, in Reference Example (Part 1) (or Reference Example (Part 2) to Reference Example (Part 4) or Example described below ), the shortening of the joining work, the improvement of the joining reliability, and In order to prevent water from entering between the solar cell module 10 and the sheet-like member 20, an adhesive layer or an adhesive layer is formed between the solar cell module 10 and the sheet-like member 20.

Alternatively, a liquid resin (a liquid adhesive or the like) is impregnated into the sewing portion by the thread 21 to close a minute hole and prevent water leakage.
The adhesive material is, for example, an acrylic adhesive material, a silicone adhesive material, a butyl rubber adhesive material, an ethylene propylene rubber adhesive material, a fluorine adhesive material, or the like.

  The adhesive is, for example, a sheet-like or liquid adhesive such as an epoxy-based, acrylic-based, cyanoacrylate-based, silicone-based, urethane-based, fluorine-based resin, or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

  For example, “FEP100” having a thickness of 100 μm is used as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 and the back surface protective film 14, and the solar cell module 10 having a size of 860 mm × 30000 mm (800 mm × 400 mm solar cells; 73 sheets) is used. The sheet-like member 20 is sewn with a thread 21 using an industrial sewing machine.

  The sheet-like member 20 is, for example, a glass fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene sheet (generic name: PTFE-glass cloth). For example, an aramid fiber thread material is used for the thread 21.

Next, in order to improve the durability of the stitched portion and enhance the waterproof function, a fluorine paint containing an ultraviolet absorber is applied and impregnated into the stitched portion and heated to be cured.
In this way, the minute holes generated by the stitching are closed to prevent water leakage.

A metal plate can be used as the sheet-like member 20. In this case, the thickness of the metal plate that can be sewn is 0.3 mm or less.
FIG. 4 illustrates a reference example (No. 2) , and is a diagram illustrating a fixing method when the attachment destination of the solar cell module 10 is a metal plate which is a kind of sheet-like member. Examples of the metal plate include a stainless steel plate, a fluorinated film-coated galvanized steel plate, a fluorinated paint-coated galvanized steel plate, an aluminum plate, a nickel plate, a titanium plate, and a copper plate.

  In this case, in order to attach the solar cell module 10 to the metal plate, not the thread 21 but a fixing member is used. For example, rivets, screws, clips, staples, etc. are used as the fixing member.

  The material of these fixing members is, for example, a corrosion-resistant material such as copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel alloy, nickel, titanium, or the like. Alternatively, nylon, polycarbonate resin, polyphenylene sulfide resin, or the like may be used.

FIG. 4A is a top view of the solar cell module 10 attached to a metal plate, and FIG. 4B is a side sectional view of the BB ′ portion.
In the figure, the metal plate to which the solar cell module 10 is attached is, for example, a part of a roof member of a tin roof of a general private house, for example, a flexible polyvinyl fluoride-clad galvanized steel plate 30 having a thickness of 0.4 mm. is there.

  For example, “FEP100” is used for the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 and the back surface protective film 14 of the solar cell module 10. Moreover, the solar cell 13 of the solar cell module 10 uses, for example, nine solar cells having a size of 800 mm × 400 mm.

  As the fixing member, for example, a stainless steel screw 31 or the like is used. The solar cell module 10 is fixed onto the polyvinyl fluoride-coated galvanized steel plate 30 by a screw screw 31 or the like via a fixing frame (not shown) made of stainless steel having a thickness of 0.4 mm, for example. The position where each screw screw 31 fixes the solar cell module 10 is between the outer periphery of the solar cell module 10 and each solar cell 13 as shown in FIG. 4A, for example.

  The screw screw 31 is securely fixed to the solar cell module 10 by being press-fitted into the roof member by, for example, a hammer or a compressed air press-fitting machine. The roof members are the above-mentioned polyvinyl fluoride-clad galvanized steel sheet 30, the waterproof sheet 33, the field plate 34, the talc 35, and the like. The waterproof sheet 33 is, for example, a fiber reinforced ethylene propylene rubber waterproof sheet.

  The screw screw 31 is press-fitted to the field plate 34 (partly up to talc 35) through the polyvinyl fluoride-clad galvanized steel plate 30 and the waterproof sheet 33 by the above-described press-fitting method. Thereby, the solar cell module 10 can be reliably fixed.

  Further, a waterproof rubber elastic body 32 is used for the head of the screw screw 31. Although not particularly illustrated, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or the adhesive layer described above is formed as a waterproof measure.

  The waterproofness of the 1 m square sample simulating the roof to which the solar cell module 10 was attached by the above method was evaluated by experiments. As a result, no water leakage was observed up to a 1 m water column, and thus good waterproofness could be confirmed.

5 and 6 are diagrams for explaining the embodiment . An Example strengthens the fixing and waterproofing function of the solar cell module 10 further with respect to a reference example (the 2) .
For example, as shown in FIG. 6 , the embodiment is used as a float for solar power generation in which a solar cell module 10 is fixed on a float floating on a lake surface.

FIG. 5A is a top view in which the solar cell module 10 is fixed to the metal plate 40, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view of the CC ′ portion.
In the figure, the solar cell module 10 uses “FEP100” as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11. As the back surface protective film 14, a polyester nonwoven fabric is used in order to improve module strength and adhesiveness.

The metal plate as the attachment destination of the solar cell module 10 is, for example, a stainless plate 40 having a thickness of 0.8 mm and a size of 1000 mm × 4000 mm.
In the embodiment , the solar cell module 10 is adhesively fixed to the stainless steel plate 40 by applying a butyl rubber adhesive 45 with a thickness of 1 mm, for example , by a roll coater method and then applying pressure with a roll. Further, for example, the solar cell module 10 is securely fixed to the stainless steel plate 40 by the stainless steel screw 41 and the stainless steel plate 40 is fixed to the float 48 via the stainless steel plate fixing component 47. In the stainless steel plate 40, a pilot hole is formed in advance at a position where the screw screw 41 is press-fitted.

  The position where each screw screw 41 fixes the solar cell module 10 is the outer periphery of the solar cell module 10 as shown in FIG. 5A, for example. Frames 42, 43 and 44 are provided.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the screw screw 41 passes through the fixing frame 44, the end seal sealant 46, the solar cell module 10, and the adhesive sheet 45 made of butyl rubber to the stainless steel plate 40. The solar cell module 10 is securely fixed to the stainless steel plate 40 by being press-fitted. Further, some of the screw screws 41 are press-fitted to the stainless steel plate fixing component 47 to fix the stainless steel plate to the float 48. 5B shows the fixing frame 44 penetrating the screw screw 41 in cross-sectional position, but the same applies to the fixing frames 42 and 43. FIG. Each of the fixing frames 42, 43, 44 may have a pilot hole previously formed at a position where the screw screw 41 is press-fitted, like the stainless steel plate 40.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example in which, for example, the stainless steel plate 40 provided with the solar cell module 10 is installed on the float 48 provided with the stainless steel plate fixing component 47 by the above method.

  The float 48 is, for example, a large float that floats on the lake surface, and the float for solar power generation in which the solar cell module 10 is fixed on the float that floats on the lake water surface is configured by the fixing method.

In this way, when used on the surface of the water, higher waterproofness is required as compared with the case of mounting on the roof of a normal private house as in Reference Example (No. 2) , but as described above, the solar cell module 10 Since the fixing and waterproofing functions are strengthened, there is no problem.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams illustrating a reference example (No. 3) .
FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view of the solar cell module 10 attached to the fixing ring 51.

The fixing ring 51 is, for example, a ring-shaped mounting jig having an inner diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the fixed pipe 52 installed in the building 53 shown in FIG.
In the reference example ( No. 3) , for example, “FEP100” is used as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 and the back surface protective film 14 of the solar cell module 10. Moreover, the size of the solar cell module is, for example, 1000 mm × 3800 mm (800 mm × 400 mm solar cells: 9 sheets).

  FIG. 7A shows an end (two places) of the solar cell module 10 passed through the fixing ring 51 and folded, and then the folded portion of the solar cell module 10 is sewn with the thread 21. Is shown. For the yarn 21, for example, a yarn material mainly composed of an aramid fiber is used.

As described above, the solar cell module 10 in which the fixing ring 51 is sewn at the end is attached to a wall surface of a building or the like, for example.
FIG. 7B shows an example in which the solar cell module 10 is attached to the fixed pipe 52 installed on the wall surface of the building 53.

  In FIG.7 (b), attachment is performed so that the to-be-fixed pipe 52 may be passed through the fixing ring 51 provided on the two sides of the solar cell module 10. The fixing ring 51 is stopped by a stopper or the like (not shown) so as not to fall below a predetermined position.

The reference example (part 3) is not limited to the above-described example.
The fixed pipe 52 may be newly installed on the wall surface of the building 53, but the solar cell module 10 is more likely to use a water supply / drainage pipe or the like already piped on the wall surface of the building 53. Can save time and cost. In this case, a fixing ring 51 suitable for the diameter of a pipe such as a water supply / drainage pipe may be prepared.

  Further, the attachment destination is not limited to the pipe 52 to be fixed, but a structure that is already installed in the building 53 and has sufficient strength to attach the solar cell module 10 is used. May be. In this case, instead of the fixing ring 51, an attachment jig corresponding to the shape of the attachment target structure is used.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a reference example (No. 4) .
In the reference example (part 4) , the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 and the sealing resin 12 may be appropriately selected as described above.

In the reference example (part 4) , the back surface protective film 14 is required to have a low moisture permeability and a high strength.
For example, aluminum foil laminate 1 fluorinated vinyl resin, aluminum foil laminate polyester resin, tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer, vinylidene fluoride resin, trifluorochloroethylene resin, acrylic resin, vinylidene fluoride resin coated acrylic resin Polyester resin or the like is used. In addition, a back moisture-proof sheet material is used. As a base resin for the moisture-proof sheet material on the back surface, soft vinyl chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyester, polymethacrylate, tetrafluorinated polyethylene copolymer (for example, tetrafluoroethylene) -Ethylene copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-6 fluorinated propylene copolymer), vinyl fluoride resin, vinylidene fluoride resin, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone resin and the like are used alone or in combination. Furthermore, the back surface protective film 14 of the present example is fiber reinforced. Reinforcing fibers, for example, using insulating materials such as cotton, glass fibers, nylon fibers, polyester fibers, acrylic fibers, vinylon fibers, Tetoron (Teijin, trade name of Toray), polypropylene fibers, aramid fibers, These are used alone or in combination. After these fibers are processed as a cloth material such as cloth or nonwoven fabric, the back surface protective film 14 is formed by a method such as a calendar method, a notch touch dryer method, a roll coater method, a knife coater method, a heat laminator method, or a dry laminator method. Manufacturing.

In the reference example (part 4) , for example, “FEP100” is used as the light-receiving surface side protective film 11 of the solar cell module 10. Moreover, the size of the solar cell module is, for example, 900 mm × 3800 mm (800 mm × 400 mm solar cells: 9 sheets).

In the reference example (part 4) , a rivet 61 having a through hole (having a hollow shaft) is attached to the peripheral portion (four sides) of the solar cell module 10. For example, a hole is made at a position where the rivet 61 of the solar cell module 10 is to be attached, and after passing the rivet 61 there, the rivet 61 is fixed by being deformed by hitting or the like.

Further, by providing the solar cell module 10 with the rivet 61 having a through hole, the solar cell module 10 can be flexibly attached to various places.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a rivet 61 having through holes is provided in the peripheral portion (10 places) of the solar cell module 10, and a string 64 is passed through a shaft (hollow) of a certain rivet 61, and the string 64 is connected to a pipe. It winds around the cylindrical support body 62 or the pipe-shaped support body 63, and repeats passing the string 64 through the shaft (hollow) of the next rivet 61.

Thereby, the solar cell module 10 is fixed to the pipe-shaped support body 62 and the pipe-shaped support body 63 by the string 64.
The pipe-shaped support body 62 and the pipe-shaped support body 63 are structural support bodies that are provided (or already exist) at the attachment destination of the solar cell module 10, and are made of a rod-shaped thing having a certain degree of strength, such as metal or plastic. It is a combination of shapes.

In addition, the pipe-shaped support body 62 and the pipe-shaped support body 63 show an example of the structure of the attachment destination of the solar cell module 10, and a reference example (the 4) is not restricted to this. Any shape can be used as long as it has a certain degree of strength and can be passed through, tied, wound, etc.

The solar cell module 10 provided with the rivet 61 having such a through hole can be easily and inexpensively attached to various places.
For example, when it is desired to attach the solar cell module 10 to the veranda, a handrail or a frame of the veranda may be used as the structural support. Since a string or the like may be necessary for attachment, it is inexpensive, and since the attachment operation is simple as described above, anyone can easily perform it.

The fixing component provided in the solar cell module 10 is not limited to the rivet 61 having a through hole in the reference example (No. 4) . Any component having a certain degree of strength such as metal or plastic with a hollow shaft may be used. Further, the shape of the shaft is not limited to a hollow shape, and may be any shape that can be connected by a string, a wire, or the like, such as a handle shape.

  In the above description, as the solar battery cell, an example is shown in which each cell is indicated by a part number 13 in FIG. However, it is apparent that the present invention can be applied to a module having a configuration in which solar cells are continuously provided on a single long substrate (for example, a flexible SUS substrate).
