Description

PHOTOVOLTAIC ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENT, PARTICULARLY FOR COVERING SURFACES
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a photovoltaic architectural element, particularly for covering surfaces.
Background Art
The use has been known for some time now of photovoltaic modules for converting solar energy into electricity by means of photovoltaic effect.
The photovoltaic modules of known type generally comprise a plurality of photovoltaic cells, composed of a layer of a semiconducting material suitably doped to form a p-n junction, electrically connected the one to the other.
The photovoltaic modules also have a layer of glass, arranged above the photovoltaic cells and defining the outer surface of the module intended to be turned towards the sunrays, and a rear supporting layer.
The photovoltaic modules can also be fitted to the outer surfaces of buildings, thereby falling within the category of architecturally-integrated photovoltaic systems.
More precisely, a photovoltaic system is defined as architecturally integrated if its photovoltaic modules replace the covering materials of roofs, coverings, facades, etc....while maintaining the same inclination and architectural function. The use of integrated photovoltaic modules therefore allows exploiting existing buildings and construction works to generate electricity in an ecological way while at the same time not having to intervene in an invasive way on the environment to build supporting structures expressly dedicated to this purpose. A drawback of integrated photovoltaic systems of known type consists in the fact that, generally speaking, the replacement of the covering elements with the photovoltaic modules involves a reduction in the aesthetic impact of the building itself to which these are fitted.
In fact, the transparency of the glass layer that protects the photovoltaic cells makes the rear supporting layer visible from outside. The lack of uniformity between the covering elements that surround the photovoltaic modules and the supporting layer of the latter therefore translates into a reduced aesthetic appeal of the system thus integrated.
Furthermore, the supporting layer of the photovoltaic modules of known type also shows different mechanical features with respect to the surrounding covering elements, and therefore a different response to the outer stresses.
WO 2008/155786 describes a photovoltaic module comprising a supporting structure, composed e.g. of a ceramic product, on which is fitted a photovoltaic element.
The supporting structure is then fastened to an anchoring structure by means of fastening means.
This photovoltaic module also has drawbacks however, inasmuch as the photovoltaic element, surrounded by the supporting structure, tends to gradually overheat due to the irradiation by the sunlight, thus losing part of its energy efficiency.
Object of the Invention
The main aim of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic architectural element that integrates in a substantially uniform way with the surrounding elements and materials making up the covering of the building works on which they are fitted and which, at the same time, maintains a high level of energy efficiency.
Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic architectural element which integrates in a more uniform way from an aesthetic viewpoint, compared to traditional photovoltaic modules, with the building construction on which it is fitted.
One object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic architectural element which not only has aesthetic characteristics but also characteristics of mechanical resistance similar to those of the covering elements and of the materials making up the building works on which they are fitted.
The present objects are achieved by the present photovoltaic architectural element, particularly for covering surfaces, comprising a ceramic product intended to be fitted on a surface to be covered and at least a photovoltaic module having a front surface intended to be intercepted by sunrays and a rear surface opposite said front surface, said ceramic product being associated with the rear surface of said photovoltaic module, characterised by the fact that said ceramic product comprises one or more ventilation holes for cooling said photovoltaic module.
Brief Description of the Drawings
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more evident from the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of a photovoltaic architectural element, illustrated by way of example, but not limited to them, in the annexed drawings in which:
figure 1 is an axonometric view of a photovoltaic architectural element according to the invention;
figure 2 is a section view of the photovoltaic architectural element of figure 1 according to the track plane II-II;
figure 3 is an axonometric view of the ceramic product of a photovoltaic architectural element according to the invention.
Embodiments of the Invention
With particular reference to such figures, by 1 is globally indicated a photovoltaic architectural element, particularly for covering surfaces.
The element 1 comprises a ceramic product 2 intended to be fitted on a surface to be covered P and at least a photovoltaic module 3 associated with the ceramic product 2 in such a way as to be turned, during use, towards the outside.
The photovoltaic module 3 has a front surface 3 a, intended to be intercepted by sunrays, and a rear surface 3b, opposite the front surface 3a and intended to be turned towards the surface to be covered P.
The ceramic product 2 has a visible surface 2a, intended to be turned towards the outside, and an installation surface 2b, opposite the visible surface 2a and intended to be fitted on the surface to be covered P.
Suitably, the ceramic product 2 is made according to standard production methods known in the ceramic industry, generally by moulding.
Preferably, the ceramic product 2 is made of porcelain stoneware, although alternative embodiments cannot be ruled out which envisage the use of different ceramic materials.
The ceramic product 2 is associated at least with the rear surface 3b of the photovoltaic module 3.
Preferably, the ceramic product 2 comprises at least a housing seat 4 for the photovoltaic module 3.
More particularly, the housing seat 4 is defined in correspondence to the visible surface 2a of the ceramic product 2.
More in detail, the housing seat 4 defines at least a resting surface 4a of the photovoltaic module 3 and, more precisely, of its rear surface 3b.
The resting surface 4a is substantially placed between the visible surface 2a and the installation surface 2b.
The housing seat 4 is preferably obtained on the ceramic product 2 already in forming phase, e.g., by moulding, so as to avoid subsequent manual operations.
Advantageously, following the insertion of the photovoltaic module 3 in the housing seat 4, its front surface 3a is substantially coplanar with the visible surface 2a of the ceramic product 2.
Suitably, the outer overall dimensions of the photovoltaic module 3 are less than the outer overall dimensions of the ceramic product 2, which therefore has a perimeter edge 5 surrounding the photovoltaic module 3 fitted in the housing seat 4.
According to the invention, the ceramic product 2 comprises one or more ventilation holes 6 suitable for allowing air flow to cool the photovoltaic module 3.
More particularly, the ventilation holes 6 are defined on the resting surface 4a, are through holes and face the installation surface 2b.
The ventilation holes 6 can also be defined on the ceramic product 2 during the forming phase, e.g., during the moulding phase.
As the technician in the sector knows, the photovoltaic module 3 comprises one or more photovoltaic cells 7 linked together by means of a conduction material for the channelling of the electrons and placed between a protection element 8, defining the front surface 3 a, and a supporting element 9, defining the rear surface 3b.
The protection element 8 is preferably made up of tempered glass and the supporting element 9 is preferably made of tedlar or of tempered glass. Advantageously, the element 1 comprises retention means 10 of the photovoltaic module 3 on the ceramic product 2.
More particularly, the retention means 10 comprise a resin placed in between the photovoltaic module 3 and the ceramic product 2.
Preferably, the resin 10 is of the type of an epoxy resin. More in detail, epoxy resins can be used with different degrees of elasticity and/or different colours. Before proceeding to position the photovoltaic module 3 in the housing seat 4, a layer of resin 10 must therefore be fitted on the housing seat itself, and in particular on the resting surface 4a, in such a way as to ensure the securing of the photovoltaic module 3 with respect to the ceramic product 2.
As the technician in the sector knows, each photovoltaic module 3 has two poles 11 which allow connecting the electrical terminations of the photovoltaic cells 7 to an electric installation.
Suitably, the ceramic product 2 has at least a guide 12, preferably two guides 12 of the poles 11 of the photovoltaic module 3
In the embodiment shown in the illustrations, the ceramic product 2 has two guides 12 defined in correspondence to its visible surface 2a, one for each pole 11. More in particular, each guide 12 is composed of a corresponding recess defined on the visible surface 2a, inside which a corresponding pole 11 is housed.
The guides 12 so made can also be obtained during the forming phase of the ceramic product 2.
Different embodiments cannot however be ruled out, wherein the guides 12 are made up of corresponding through openings defined on the thickness of the ceramic product 2.
The poles 11 are suitably connectable to a junction box, not shown in the illustrations, operatively connected to an electric installation and suitable for interconnecting various photovoltaic modules 3 the one to the other to obtain the desired series/parallel configuration.
The elements 1 according to the invention can therefore be positioned on the surface to be covered P and connected together by means of the poles 11 of the respective photovoltaic modules 3 to form a photovoltaic panel. Advantageously, the element 1 can comprise a plurality of photovoltaic modules 3, preferably in a number between two and four, operatively connected to one another.
It has in point of fact been ascertained how the described invention achieves the proposed objects and in particular the fact is underlined that the fitting of the photovoltaic architectural elements according to the invention on the wall of a building or of a construction work allows considerably improving, with respect to known art, the uniformity with the construction elements which surround them and which make up the covering of the wall itself to which they are fitted. More in particular, the fitting of one or more photovoltaic modules on a ceramic support allows improving integration with the other architectural elements which surround them, from both an aesthetic and a structural viewpoint.
