Benefits of technology

[0010]The photovoltaic module system uses a fixture clipped on a roof, which does not destroy the roof and is convenient for rework. The parts of the photovoltaic module system are mostly fixed through bolts and nuts, and have the characteristics of easy installation and rework. Further, the portions where the bolts and nuts are used to lock in the photovoltaic module system mostly adopt obround holes, which can provide displacement elasticity before the bolts are fastened and thus are convenient for adjusting positions of components so that the assembling becomes easier.

Problems solved by technology

A photovoltaic module is mostly installed on a roof or the like which is directly irradiated by the sunlight and is not easily shielded by shadows.
However, in this fixing method, the roof needs to be drilled, and even if a waterproof adhesive is coated on the drilling portion, a risk of water leakage still exists.
Since the base is fastened onto the roof through the adhesive, maintenance is quite inconvenient if the base is damaged.
Further, the photovoltaic module would easily fall off and cause an accident during an earthquake or strong wind due to the unfirm fixing.

Abstract

A photovoltaic module installation device is provided, which is used for installing a photovoltaic module on a roof. The photovoltaic module installation device includes a fixture clipped on the roof, a lower connection piece locked on the fixture, a first support frame disposed on the lower connection piece, an upper connection piece and a second support frame. The upper connection piece is fitted on the first support frame and is locked with the lower connection piece. The second support frame is perpendicularly fixed on the first support frame, and the photovoltaic module is fixed on the second support frame.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to China Application Serial Number 201010550451.4, filed Nov. 16, 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a photovoltaic module. More particularly, the present invention relates to a photovoltaic module installation device.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Photovoltaic energy is a kind of energy source. Facing the increasing shortage of earth resources, as well as the pollution and safety problems caused by the power driven by a fossil fuel or nuclear energy, photovoltaic energy is a potential alternative energy resource, and many developed countries and large-scale enterprises make efforts in this field to develop the alternative resource.[0006]A photovoltaic module is mostly installed on a roof or the like which is directly irradiated by the sunlight and is not easily shielded by shadows. The traditional method for fixing a photovolt...
