Easy-to-assemble building structure with a mountable frame for supporting solar panels

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to an easy-to-assemble building structure with a mountable frame for mounting solar panels, solar water heating panels, fuel cells or any other renewable energy device and more particularly relates to a gazebo or a storage space or an overhang used for purposes of mounting solar panels.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates generally to an easy-to-assemble building structure with a mountable frame for mounting solar panels, photovoltaic or hot water or any other renewable energy device, and more particularly relates to an easy-to-assemble gazebo or a storage space or an overhang used for purposes of mounting solar panels. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Solar technology is not only environment-friendly but is also cost-effective in the long term. However, despite the distinct advantages of solar power, solar technology has still not gained wide-spread popularity largely due to the fact that the conventional method of installation of solar panels is fraught with complexities. [0005] Traditionally, roof spaces of building establishments such as houses and offices have been used for installing solar panels. The conventional process of installing solar panels involves installation of panels on th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0016] It is therefore an advantage of the present invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure such as a gazebo or a storage space or an overhang with a mounting frame for mounting solar panels.

[0017] It is another advantage of the invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure for mounting solar panels that is economical as compared to solar panels mounted on roofs of building establishments.

[0018] It is another advantage of the present invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure for mounting solar panels that is not as labor-intensive as the traditional roofing panels in terms of installation rather it is easy-to-assemble and does not require any professional help.

[0019] It is yet another advantage of the present invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure for mounting solar panels that enhances the aesthetic beauty of the surroundings.

[0020] It is yet another advantage of the present invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure for mounting solar panels that is easy to clean.

[0021] It is yet another advantage of the present invention to provide an easy-to-assemble building structure for mounting solar panels such that lack of appropriate roof space in building establishments is not a limiting factor for installation of solar panels anymore.

Problems solved by technology

However, despite the distinct advantages of solar power, solar technology has still not gained wide-spread popularity largely due to the fact that the conventional method of installation of solar panels is fraught with complexities.

Installation of solar panels on roof tops can be prohibitively expensive owing to the fact that skilled labor is required for mounting the solar panels.

In addition, the process of installing solar panels is labor-intensive in so far as roofs need to be worked on very carefully to prevent damage to roofs causing leakage after installation of solar panels.

Yet another drawback of roofing panels is their lack of aesthetic beauty.

In addition, cleaning of the roofing panels is also difficult, which in turn renders maintenance of the roofing panels an arduous task.

Also, often times building establishments such as homes and offices lack the appropriate roof space to allow installation of solar panels in the first place.

At other times, roof space might exist but the orientation of the roof might render installation of solar panels inappropriate for production of energy.
