Problems solved by technology

The bulkier, heavier frame elements are therefore more costly frame elements, since the cost of the frame depends on the amount of material used to build the frame

Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of an unassembled solar collection module according to the invention, and figure 1 A is figure 1 Expanded views of the indicated parts. The solar collector panel 2 is defined by a peripheral edge 6 and shows its downwardly facing solar collector face. The solar collecting face of the solar collecting panel 2 comprises photovoltaic cells capable of converting solar energy directly into electricity and / or heat. On the opposite side of the back side 4, a solar energy collection surface is set, figure 1 shown in . The rear surface 4 includes electrical components 8 such as a junction box and wires, which utilize electricity or thermal energy and supply it to a power source capable of using electricity. The unassembled solar collection module includes opposing end rails 10 and opposing side rails 12 . The end rail 10 and the side rail 12 will be connected to each other using a lock 14 which is shown already connected to the end ...

Abstract

A solar energy collecting module includes a frame that is assembled without using screws. The peripheral frame components are joined together using locking links and one or more ribs extend along the back side of the solar panel and are coupled to opposed sides of the frame. The ribs are coupled to the frames by an edge key fastener that includes opposed first flanges and opposed second flanges, the first flanges separated from the second flanges by a gap. The edge key fastener is inserted into an opening formed in a side wall of a frame component and rotated such that the opposed first flanges are disposed behind the side wall and within the frame and the opposed second flanges are received in a corresponding cavity formed in each of opposed ends of the rib. The invention also provides a method for assembling the solar energy collecting module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar energy collection module comprising a frame and a method of assembly thereof. Background technique [0002] Solar cells are photovoltaic elements used to generate electrical current directly from sunlight. Due to the growing demand for clean energy, the manufacture of solar cells has expanded significantly in recent years. [0003] A wide variety of solar energy collection modules already exist. One type of module includes photovoltaic panels that receive solar energy and convert it directly into electricity. Another of these modules includes solar thermal collector panels that are heated by the sun. Solar collection modules can have different geometries, but are often manufactured as generally flat structures. A plurality of electrically connected photovoltaic panels (solar panels) are often used as a solar photovoltaic array to convert a large amount of solar energy into electricity. In operation, photons in sunl...
