Abstract

The invention simplifies the mounting of photovoltaic modules on roofs which have trapezoidal-sheet roofing, since the necessary substructure which is otherwise required is dispensed with here. The photovoltaic modules are screwed directly to the upper corrugation of the trapezoidal sheet. Even in the area of agrophotovoltaics, where the modules are installed at heights of up to 7 m, the invention can be used to provide secure screw-connection for the modules, which is imperative from a safety point of view.

Description

Beschreibung description
Montagerahmen für Photovoltaikmodule Mounting frame for photovoltaic modules
Stand der Technik: State of the art:
Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Photovoltaikmodulen auf dem Markt. Man unterscheidet diese in zwei Arten. Rahmenlose ( Glas/Glas) und gerahmte Module. Der Stand der Technik bezieht sich auf die gerahmten Module. Der Rahmen, der das Modul umschließt ist in aller Regel aus Aluminium. Er stabilisiert das Modul. Photovoltaikmodule werden nicht direkt auf das Dach montiert, sondern mit Hilfe der sogenannten Unterkonstruktion. Diese wird zuerst auf das Dach montiert und mit Hilfe von Mittel,- und Endklemmen werden die Module auf die Unterkonstruktion befestigt (geklemmt). There are a wide variety of photovoltaic modules on the market. There are two types of these. Frameless (glass / glass) and framed modules. The state of the art relates to the framed modules. The frame that encloses the module is usually made of aluminum. It stabilizes the module. Photovoltaic modules are not mounted directly on the roof, but with the help of the so-called substructure. This is first mounted on the roof and with the help of middle and end clamps the modules are attached (clamped) to the substructure.
Nachteile sind: Egal ob Photovoltaikmodule auf einem Dach, einer Fassade oder auf dem freien Feld installiert werden, man benötigt eine Unterkonstruktion auf denen die Module mittels Mittel/Endklemmen befestigt werden. Unterkonstruktion + Modulklemmen sind aus statischer Hinsicht ein mit zu berücksichtigendes Mehrgewicht. Auch die Montagedauer ist erheblich davon abhängig, welche Unterkonstruktion man verwendet. Längere Montagedauer bedeutet mehr Kosten. Disadvantages are: Regardless of whether photovoltaic modules are installed on a roof, a facade or in the open field, you need a substructure on which the modules are attached by means of middle / end clamps. From a static point of view, the substructure + module clamps are an additional weight to be taken into account. The installation time also depends to a large extent on which substructure is used. Longer assembly times mean more costs.
Ausgehend vor diesem Hintergrund wurden diese Nachteile erfinderisch dadurch gelöst, dass am Modulrahmen (1), Laschen (2) angebracht sind, die mit Löcher/Langlöcher (4) versehen sind. Die Laschen sind aus dem gleichen Material wie der Rahmen und werden bereits bei der Produktion des Rahmens integriert. Based on this background, these disadvantages have been solved according to the invention in that tabs (2) are attached to the module frame (1), which tabs are provided with holes / elongated holes (4). The straps are made of the same material as the frame and are integrated during the production of the frame.
Dadurch ergeben sich erhebliche Vorteile: This results in considerable advantages:
Es wird bei Dächern mit Trapezblecheindeckung auf die Unterkonstruktion verzichtet. Die Module werden direkt (durch die Löcher/Langlöcher)auf das Blech geschraubt. Hier ergibt sich eine zeitliche, sowie finanzielle Ersparnis (Keine Unterkonstruktion). Auch in statischer Hinsicht ein Vorteil (Gewichtsreduzierung). The substructure is not used for roofs with trapezoidal sheet metal cladding. The modules are screwed directly onto the sheet metal (through the holes / elongated holes). This results in time and financial savings (No substructure). Also from a static point of view an advantage (weight reduction).
Auch bei Dacheindeckungen (z.B. Ziegel) oder bei Freifeldanlagen, wo auf eine Unterkonstruktion nicht verzichtet werden kann, kann man das Modul mittels z.B. Hammerkopfschrauben direkt befestigen. Man spart die Mittel/Endklemmen. The module can also be attached directly using hammer-head screws, for example, for roof coverings (e.g. tiles) or for open-field systems, where a substructure cannot be dispensed with. You save the middle / end clamps.
Dadurch, dass die Laschen den Modulrahmen verstärken erhöht sich die Stabilität des Modules. The fact that the straps reinforce the module frame increases the stability of the module.
