Description

{APPARATUS FOR PREVENTING APPROACH OF BIRDS}

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus installed in a solar cell module to restrict access of algae.

More specifically, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of efficiency of a module due to contaminants such as algae excrement and footprints by installing a structure that prevents algae from landing on the solar cell module, and without any time and effort for removing contaminants And to maintain the cleanliness of the solar cell module.

Recently, interest in environmentally friendly renewable energy has been increasing, and thus solar power generation facilities for producing electricity using solar cells have become widespread.

Such solar cell modules can be installed in various sizes from small scale to large scale, and they are installed in places that are close to people's lives, such as places where people are rare, high places such as farmland or buildings.

Therefore, the solar cell module once installed is difficult to be inspected frequently by the administrator, so it should be possible to protect the solar cell module from pollution by birds and the like as cleanly as possible.

On the other hand, algae have more access to lines and planar structures that can grasp the edges, such as corners, rather than structures with inclined features.

Particularly, in the case of a solar cell module, as shown in the accompanying drawings, in order to increase power generation efficiency, the solar cell module is installed mostly in a sloping form. In this case, the top is close to the line and the flat structure, Do.

At this time, when a bird sitting on the top of the solar cell module exits, it flows along the inclined surface of the module, contaminating a large area of the module, and the generation efficiency is lowered.

In order to prevent such a problem, a photovoltaic power generation apparatus is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 10-1596735.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a conventional aquatic solar power generating apparatus according to the present invention, and its constitution is composed of a support frame having one side surface formed to be inclined so as to mount a plurality of solar cell modules; A plurality of subfluids disposed at the lower portion of the support frame to float above the water surface; A vertical frame provided on one side of the support frame; Wherein the vertical frame includes a lightning conductor including a lightning conductor so that a high-voltage current for lightning stroke can flow on the ground or underwater floor to prevent damage caused by a lightning stroke, and a conductor arranged in the shape of a wire And a fastening frame which is provided to be spaced apart from the upper portion of the vertical frame, wherein the fastening frame is electrically connected to the ground And a grounding pole embedded in the ground to cover the grounding frame, wherein the tightening frame includes a sensor unit for sensing that the bird is approaching.

In the conventional solar photovoltaic power generation apparatus, the algae elimination unit is disposed above the solar cell module at the top of the solar cell module, and power is supplied so that the set current flows, thereby alleviating the algae.

However, it is positive that the conventional solar photovoltaic power generation system is capable of eliminating the approaching algae by supplying power to the algae eradication unit. However, since it poses a physical threat to the algae, There is a problem in that it can not be applied.

In other words, there is a problem that utilization is not possible because it is impossible to use in a solar power plant installed in a place where physical threat to birds can not be harmed by life.
