Definitions

  • the invention relates to a frame for a plate-shaped solar element and to the use of such a frame for producing a solar module.
  • Solar modules consist of a frame that surrounds the solar element, which, as a rule, comprises a plurality of solar cells arranged in one plane and embedded in a plastics material foil.
  • the plastics material foil as a rule, is covered by a glass plate and has a lamination on the rear side that is conventionally also produced from plastics material.
  • the solar element which is occasionally also referred to as a frameless solar module or laminate, is surrounded by a frame, which has the effect of strengthening the solar element, protects the solar element, in particular the glass panel, during transport and makes it possible for solar elements to be secured to buildings and structures.
  • the framed solar element, as a rule is referred to as the solar module.
  • one-piece frames are generally used. Such a frame is pressed laterally onto the outside edges of the solar element and the edges of the solar module are then stuck down manually. This method of operation is inefficient.
  • two-piece frames which include a bottom frame element, onto which the solar element is placed.
  • the actual frame is obtained by a top frame element being pressed into the bottom frame element obtaining a friction-locking or positive-locking connection, a gap being realized between the bottom and the top frame element, into which the edge region of the solar element is inserted.
  • DE 202 09 218 U1 discloses a two-piece frame for a frameless solar module, said frame including a bottom frame element with a surface onto which the solar module is placed.
  • a slot is provided in the bottom frame element, a portion of a top angular frame element being inserted into said slot, thereby obtaining a positive-locking and/or friction-locking connection between the two frame elements.
  • the edge region of the solar module is enveloped in a resilient material, for example a seal, which after the assembly is positioned between the frame and the solar module.
  • a resilient material for example a seal
  • it aims to provide a frame for accommodating a plate-shaped solar element which makes a more efficient and more economic framing of solar elements possible.
  • a frame for a plate-shaped solar element comprising a bottom frame element with a first surface and preferably a top frame element with a second surface, wherein the second surface is situated opposite the first surface and is at a spacing from said first surface forming a gap that can accommodate the edge region of the plate-shaped solar element, wherein the first surface and the second surface are each self-adhesive.
  • the first surface is provided with a first adhesive strip and the second surface is provided with a second adhesive strip.
  • the frame can also comprise just a bottom frame element with a second surface, in which case a top frame element can be omitted.
  • the first and the second adhesive strip are expediently double-sided adhesive strips, preferably double-sided foam adhesive strips.
  • the double-sided adhesive strip on the first surface has an inside adhesive layer that is in contact with the first surface, whilst the outside adhesive layer faces the second surface of the top frame element.
  • the double-sided adhesive strip on the second surface also has an inside adhesive layer that is in contact with the second surface, whilst the outside adhesive layer faces the first surface of the bottom frame element.
  • the first and the second frame element can be produced from the same or different materials.
  • the bottom and the top frame element are produced from a weather-resistant material, such as, for example, aluminium or other suitable materials.
  • the term solar element refers here to the laminate that surrounds the solar cells.
  • the solar element is frameless.
  • the term solar module refers here to the framed solar element, i.e. the solar element that has been inserted into the frame.
  • the two-piece frame according to the invention makes it possible, on account of the finish on the two surfaces that are in contact with the edge region of the plate-shaped solar element, to dispense with a seal on the one hand and with manual sticking down on the other. This means that there are no time-consuming, expensive, unwieldy sticking down processes directly on the solar module at all and this simplifies the mounting of the solar element into a frame in a considerable manner.
  • the two adhesive strips assume, in addition to the sealing of the solar module against the effects of the weather, the function of the connection between top and bottom frame element, the adhesive friction locking being generated by the solar element.
  • the two frame elements can be additionally interconnected through an optional positive-locking and/or friction-locking connection.
  • the assembly procedure is simplified by the frame according to the invention such that, along with the currently conventional assembly in production halls, even assembly on site is now also conceivable.
  • the bottom frame element is fixedly assembled at the point of destination and then the solar element and the top frame element are assembled as described below.
  • the two frame elements are provided with the adhesive strip during their production, the surface of the first and of the second adhesive strip that do not come into contact with the first or respectively the second surface, each being provided with a covering. These coverings are only removed when the solar module is mounted.
  • the covering is removed from the adhesive layer that is situated on the first surface of the bottom frame element.
  • the bottom side of the plate-shaped solar element is placed, in its edge region, onto the adhesive layer that is situated on the first surface of the bottom frame element, an adhesive connection thereby being realized between the bottom frame element and the solar element.
  • the top frame element is mounted onto the plate-shaped solar element in such a manner that the adhesive layer, which is situated on the second surface of the top frame element and from which the covering had previously been removed, comes into contact with the top side of the plate-shaped solar element in its edge region. This means that an adhesive connection is realized between the top frame element and the solar element.
  • the bottom side of the plate-shaped solar element is in contact, in its edge region, with the adhesive layer of the first adhesive strip and the top side of the solar module is in contact, in its edge region, with the adhesive layer of the second adhesive strip.
  • the bottom frame element preferably includes an abutment edge for the plate-shaped solar element, said abutment edge extending from the first surface in the direction of the second surface and outwardly defining the gap that is realized between the first surface and the second surface.
  • the abutment edge makes it possible to position the solar element on the second surface in a precise manner.
  • the bottom frame element can include a recess that is realized on the outside of the frame and orthogonally relative to the first surface
  • the top frame element can have a portion that can be introduced into the recess obtaining a positive-locking and/or friction-locking connection, wherein the portion is realized orthogonally relative to the second surface of the top frame element and extends from said second surface in the direction of the bottom frame element. A smooth outside edge of the frame is obtained in this manner.
  • both the bottom frame element and the top frame element are each made up of part elements, wherein the part elements are interconnected by means of connecting elements.
  • the plate-shaped solar element is typically rectangular such that the bottom and the top frame element are each made up of four part elements, adjacent part elements of the respective frame element being positioned at right angles one to another.
  • the part elements are preferably profiled elements that have profiled hollow spaces. Connecting elements, for example commercially available corner joints that can be inserted in a positive-locking manner into the profiled hollow spaces, are provided for connecting adjacent part elements.
  • the contour of the first surface of the bottom frame element and the contour of the second surface of the top frame element consequently correspond to the edge region of the solar element.
  • the profiled elements are preferably pre-manufactured profiled elements that have been mitred and cut to predetermined lengths, which means that assembling the frame is very simple.
  • all the necessary bores, such, for example, as are necessary for mounting a solar module on buildings and structures, are already admitted into the two frame elements.
  • the mounting of the self-adhesive finish, in particular the two adhesive strips, can be effected in an automated procedure.
  • the bottom side of the drainage channel is preferably formed by a groove, which is realized in a region of the first surface of the bottom frame element that is not covered by the first double-sided adhesive strip and is at a spacing from the same in the direction of the outside edge of the frame.
  • the drainage channel has two essential functions: on the one hand, to compensate for various expansions of the components in the event of fluctuating temperatures and, on the other hand, where necessary, to drain off any penetrating moisture.
  • drainage bores can be realized in the bottom frame element and/or in the top frame element.
  • the use of the frame according to the invention for producing a solar module is also provided according to the invention.
  • the solar module is assembled as follows: Once the bottom frame element has been assembled from the part elements, the covering of the first adhesive strip is removed and the solar element is placed from above onto the first surface.
  • the correct, reproducible positioning is preferably effected by means of the abutment edge, which ensures that the solar element is not stuck down to the bottom frame element in the wrong position.
  • the pre-assembled top frame element is then pushed from above onto the bottom frame with the solar element. In this case too, the covering of the second adhesive strip had also been removed first of all.
