Modular solar house

Abstract

The instant disclosure relates to a modular solar house having a modulate structure that can be installed individually or in combination to meet specific space requirements. The modular solar house includes a modular main body and a roof capable of mounting a plurality of solar panel devices. The main body comprises a plurality of vertically disposed modular walls. The modular solar house further comprises at least one solar cell, one solar water heater detachably mounted on the roof, and a hot water reservoir disposed inside the prefab room for storing the water flowing through the solar water heater.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a modular solar house, and more particularly to a solar house having a modular structure that can be installed in a limited space, such as on the roof of a building or in a small yard, individually or in combination.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]As environmental protection issues becoming the center of attention in recent years, various forms of alternative energy have been reevaluated. Particularly, solar energy is considered a practical alternative energy and has been utilized in daily applications such as solar cells or solar water heaters. Such solar devices require the use of solar panels. In order to achieve higher efficiency, a solar cell or a solar water heater is usually mounted on an unobstructed location such as the roof of a building or an open yard by a sloping mounting frame at an inclining angle. For example, for a country located near the Tropic of Cancer such ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The object of the present invention is to provide a modular solar house having modular prefabricated structures that can be flexibly adapted to meet a wide range of space requirements, such as on a roof top of a building or in an open yard, individually or in combination.

[0009]Another object of the invention is to provide a modular solar house in which the amount of solar cells or solar water heaters can be flexibly adjusted to achieve high solar power efficiency and meet user requirements.

[0012]1. The prefab room can effectively utilize the space under the solar cells and solar water heaters, thus overcoming the shortcoming of the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a sloping configuration would create a space under the mounting frame of solar cells or solar water heaters that are usually ineffectively utilized.

Moreover, the conventional mounting frames for solar panels lack flexibility, as the amount and dimension of the holding frames is dictated by the amount of the solar cells or solar water heaters a user wishes to apply.

Once the devices are installed in place, it becomes inflexible to make further adjustments to the amount of solar devices on the mounting frame should the user requirement be changed.

When the sunlight intensity varies as the season changes, for example in winter, the mounted solar cells or water heaters may be insufficient to meet the user's need.

The conventional solar device holding frames cannot offer easy and flexible means to adjust the amount of the solar cells or solar water heaters mounted thereon.
