Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of solar components, and particularly to a solar component convenient for installation. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the solar energy industry, more and more people in the industry have focused their attention on building-integrated photovoltaics. Solar components are generally adhesively bonded in sequence by a front glass 9, a front encapsulation film 8, solar cells 2, a back encapsulation film 7, and a back glass 10. The installation of components in building-integrated photovoltaics is mainly divided into the following types: First, the component is framed and installed using a frame; Second, a pressing block is used. For double-glass components, double-glass pressing blocks are used, and for framed components, special pressing blocks can also be used for installation or directly fixed with screws; Third, some components in building-integrated photovoltaics are directly pasted on the color steel tile or the building surface using structural adhesive. Among these three installation schemes, the first scheme increases the frame cost at the component manufacturing end, the second scheme using the pressing block fixation method increases the later installation cost, and for the third scheme, during the later operation and maintenance of the component and component replacement, it is time-consuming and laborious. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems of time-consuming, laborious, and high cost of the current installation methods for building-integrated photovoltaics, the present invention provides a solar component convenient for installation, including a solar component formed by arranging a plurality of solar cells in a matrix and a mounting member fixed on the solar component. A plurality of mounting holes are formed in the solar component. The mounting member includes a fixing plate and a mounting tube. The mounting tube is fixed on the fixing plate. The fixing plate is fixed between the back encapsulation film and the front encapsulation film of the solar component. The mounting tube passes through the mounting hole and extends to the outside of the solar component.

[0004] Preferably, threads are provided on the inner wall of the mounting tube. A bolt is passed through the profile and engaged with the threads on the inner wall of the mounting tube, thereby fixing the solar component on the profile.

[0005] Further, the thickness of the fixing plate is 0.8 - 1.4 mm. The thickness of the fixing plate is the same as that of the solar cell. The fixing plate has a certain strength, which can ensure that the solar component is installed and fixed on the profile.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of the mounting holes are located at the center of a rectangle formed by enclosing four adjacent solar cells.

[0007] Further, in order to meet the strength requirements for fixing the solar component, the mounting tube protrudes from the solar component, and the size of the mounting tube protruding from the solar component is 0 - 10 mm.

[0008] Preferably, in the same horizontal direction, the distance between two adjacent battery cells is 30 mm, and in the same vertical direction, the distance between two adjacent battery strings is 30 mm. The distances between battery cells and between battery strings are reasonably designed to ensure that the mounting holes meet the requirements of creepage distance.

[0009] Further, to facilitate inserting the mounting tube into the mounting hole, the mounting hole is a round hole, the mounting tube is a round tube, and the size of the mounting tube is the same as that of the mounting hole.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The present invention is convenient for installation and disassembly, avoids the installation of a frame, saves processes, reduces costs, saves the cost of mounting blocks, and facilitates later operation and maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] Embodiment 1

[0019] A solar energy component convenient for installation, comprising a solar energy component 1 formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells 2 in a matrix and a mounting member fixed on the solar energy component 1. A plurality of mounting holes 3 are formed in the solar energy component 1. The mounting member comprises a fixing plate 4 and a mounting tube 5. The mounting tube 5 is fixed on the fixing plate 4. The fixing plate 4 is fixed between the back encapsulation film 7 and the front encapsulation film 8 of the solar energy component 1. The mounting tube 5 extends through the mounting hole 3 to the outside of the solar energy component 1.

[0020] Threads are formed on the inner wall of the mounting tube 5. A bolt 6 is passed through a profile 11 and is engaged with the threads on the inner wall of the mounting tube 5, thereby fixing the solar energy component 1 on the profile 11.

[0021] The thickness of the fixing plate 4 is 0.8 - 1.4 mm. The thickness of the fixing plate 4 is the same as that of the battery cell 2. The fixing plate 4 has a certain strength and can ensure that the solar energy component 1 is fixedly installed on the profile 11.

[0022] A plurality of the mounting holes 3 are located at the center of a rectangle formed by enclosing four adjacent battery cells 2.

[0023] In order to meet the strength requirements for fixing the solar energy component 1, the mounting tube 5 protrudes from the solar energy component 1, and the size of the mounting tube 5 protruding from the solar energy component 1 is 0 - 10 mm.

[0024] In the same horizontal direction, the distance between two adjacent battery cells 2 is 30 mm. In the same vertical direction, the distance between two adjacent battery strings is 30 mm. The distances between the battery cells 2 and between the battery strings are reasonably designed so that the mounting holes 3 meet the requirements of creepage distance.

[0025] To facilitate the insertion of the mounting tube 5 into the mounting hole 3, the mounting hole 3 is a round hole, the mounting tube 5 is a round tube, and the size of the mounting tube 5 is the same as that of the mounting hole 3.

[0026] Working principle: During production, the fixing plate 4 is placed between the front encapsulation film 8 and the back encapsulation film 7. The back encapsulation film 7 is punched to form the mounting hole 3. The mounting tube 5 passes through the mounting hole 3 and protrudes from the solar module 1 by 0 - 10 mm. A circular spacer needs to be placed inside the mounting tube 5 to prevent the encapsulation film from flowing into the interior of the mounting tube 5 and filling the internal threads of the mounting tube 5. The part of the mounting tube 5 protruding from the solar module 1 can be protected with a silicone pad to prevent the mounting tube 5 from being damaged during lamination and also prevent the silicone pad from being damaged. After lamination, the fixing plate 4 is crosslinked by the encapsulation film and locked inside the solar module 1. The internal threads of the inner wall of the mounting tube 5 can be connected to the bolt 6.

[0027] During installation, the back of the solar module 1 is aligned with the holes on the profile 11, and the solar module 1 is locked by passing the bolt 6 through the holes on the profile 11, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the solar module 1.

[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
