A weight sensor that detects the weight of snow accumulated, and a season judging unit that determines whether the current season is winter by inputting date information and comparing it with preset season information, and the season judging unit determines whether it is winter, A snow removal unit including a control unit configured to control switching so that the heating wire cable is generated when it is detected to have a predetermined weight or more; And a control unit.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method of controlling a snow removal unit of a solar cell module structure includes mounting a solar cell module to a solar cell module frame by embedding a hot wire cable between a transparent member of the solar cell module and an upper protective layer. Receiving the weight information of the solar cell module frame in the control unit from the weight sensor installed on the surface of the battery module frame; And, Determining whether the weight information provided from the weight sensor is greater than or equal to the set weight; It is characterized in that it comprises a; step of switching so that power is supplied only when the set weight or more;
In addition, the controller is characterized in that to receive the weight information periodically from the weight sensor.
According to another aspect of the method of controlling a snow removal unit of a solar cell module structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, comparing the input date with a date of a predetermined season and determining whether or not it is a winter season; Receiving only the weight information from the weight sensor from the weight sensor in the solar cell module frame is mounted between the transparent member of the solar cell module and the upper protective film; And, the weight information provided from the weight sensor in the control unit is set Determining whether the weight is greater than or equal to; and further, operating the hot wire cable only when the weight information is greater than or equal to the set weight.
Therefore, the solar cell module structure provided with the snow removal unit and the control method of the snow removal unit according to the embodiment of the present invention has an effect that can remove the snow accumulated on the solar cell module structure optimally.
In addition, the solar cell module structure with a snow removal unit and a control method of the snow removal unit according to an embodiment of the present invention can prevent the collapse of the solar cell module structure by the accumulated snow, so It is effective in preventing damage.
In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a solar cell module structure having a snow removing unit and a method of controlling the snow removing unit may receive power information periodically from a control unit and supply power to the heating cable only when snow is accumulated in the solar cell module frame. Since the hot wire cable is not operated at an unnecessary time when it is supplied, there is an effect of operating very efficiently.
