図1(a)および図1(b)において、太陽電池アレイ1は、複数の太陽電池モジュール3と、この複数の太陽電池モジュール3を被設置面に取り付ける取付部材4とを有している。例えば、太陽電池モジュール3は、葺き材2a、野地板2bおよび垂木2cを有する基体2の傾斜面(屋根面)上に、取付部材4を用いて固定される。すなわち、この傾斜面が太陽電池アレイ1の設置面に相当する。
太陽電池モジュール3は、図2に示すように、太陽電池パネル11およびフレーム12を有している。
本実施形態において、取付部材4は、隣り合う太陽電池モジュール3の角部間に配置されている。例えば、図1(c)に示すように、4つの太陽電池モジュール3の各角部の間に1つの取付部材4が配置されている。
第1部材21は、図3に示すように、例えば、略U字形状の断面を有する細長い部材である。
第2部材22は、図3に示すように、例えば、略U字形状の断面を有する細長い部材である。第2部材22は、第1部材21と同様の材質、加工法で製造することができる。
に向かい合って配置される。換言すれば、一方の第2壁部22cは第1部材21の開口の内側で一方の第1壁部21cと当接し、他方の第2壁部22cは第1部材21の開口の外側で他方の第1壁部21cと当接する。すなわち、一方の第1壁部21cの第1主面21k1の一部と、対応する第2壁部22cの第2主面22k2の一部とが対向して配置される。また、他方の第1壁部21cの第1主面21k1の一部と、対応する第2壁部22cの第2主面22k2の一部とが対向して配置される。
第3部材23は、第1主面23a、第2主面23d、第1主面23aに設けられた第1フィン23bおよび第2主面23dに設けられた第2フィン23eを有している。
第4部材24は、例えば、略T型の断面を有するレールである。第4部材24は、第4部材24の長手方向が第3部材23の長手方向と平行になるように配置される。また、第4部材24は、第4部材24の長手方向が第2部材22の長手方向と直交するように、第3部材23に固定される。
第1固定部材25は、例えば、ボルト25aおよび雌ネジ部材25b等で構成されている。ボルト25aは、第1長穴21eおよび第2貫通孔22eを貫通して、雌ネジ部材25bに固定される。これによって、第1固定部材25を緩めた状態で、第2部材22がZ方向に移動可能となる。第1固定部材25には、ステンレスまたは溶融亜鉛メッキを施した鉄鋼などを用いてもよい。これにより、耐食性が向上する。また、雌ネジ部材26bは、例えば、プレス加工またはタップ加工によって製造できる。
第2固定部材26は、例えば、ボルト26aおよび雌ネジ部材26b等で構成されている。ボルト26aは、長穴24bおよびボルト孔23hを貫通して、第2部材22の開口部22bよりも内側で雌ネジ部材26bに固定される。これによって、第2固定部材26を緩めた状態で、第3部材23が第2部材22の長手方向(Y方向)に沿って移動可能となる。また、第4部材24は、第3部材23の長手方向(X方向)に沿って移動可能となる。なお、第2固定部材26は、第1固定部材25と同様の材質および加工方法で製造できる。
ネジ27は、第1部材21の第1貫通孔21bを挿通して、第1部材21を基体2に固定する働きをする。ネジ27としては、例えば、ステンレスまたは溶融亜鉛メッキをした鉄鋼といった材料を用いるとよい。
粘着部材28は、第1部材21の底部21aに貼り付けて用いられ、第1部材21を基体2に固定したときに、ネジ27の固定部の周囲を雨水または湿気等から保護する働きをする。粘着部材28としては、粘着性を有する部材、例えば、シリコンシーラント、またはブチルなどのシートを短冊状に切り出して得られるものを用いることができる。
次に、本発明の実施形態に係る太陽電池アレイ1の施工手順を説明する。
まず、図5(a)に示す取付部材4の第1固定部材25を緩めて、図5(b)に示すように、第1嵌合部21dおよび第2嵌合部22dの嵌合を外す。次に、第2部材22の位置(Z方向における位置)を上方にずらして、第2部材22の高さの調整を行う。
次に、XY方向における第3部材23および第4部材24の固定位置を調整する手順を、図6を用いて詳細に説明する。
本発明の第2実施形態に係る太陽電池アレイに用いられる取付部材42は、図7に示すように、第1嵌合部21dおよび第2嵌合部22dの構成において、第1実施形態と相違する。
本発明の第3実施形態に係る太陽電池アレイに用いられる取付部材43は、図8に示すように、第1嵌合部21dおよび第2嵌合部22dの構成において、第1実施形態と相違する。
次に、図9および図10を用いて、本発明の第4実施形態に係る太陽電池アレイについて、詳細に説明する。
以下、本実施形態における施工方法について、図10を用いて説明する。
本実施形態に係る太陽電池アレイに用いられる取付部材45は、図11および図12に示すように、第1実施形態に係る取付部材4が有する第3部材23および第4部材24の代わりに、第5部材30を有している。取付部材45は、図11に示すように、第1実施形態における第3部材23および第4部材24が一体化されたような第5部材30を有している。
以下、本実施形態における施工方法について、図12を用いて説明する。
