Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field, in particular to a lightweight and impact-resistant photovoltaic component. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation devices or components are generally heavy, mainly because the transparent cover of general photovoltaic components is made of 2-3.2mm thick tempered glass. With the rapid development and popular application of green energy, in addition to installing photovoltaic power generation systems on the ground and water, people also want to install photovoltaic power generation devices on the roofs and walls of various buildings, on carports, pergolas, cars, yachts and even on the sunny side of tents. Installing photovoltaic power generation devices on the surface of a non-load-bearing structure will bring safety hazards of mechanical collapse, so it is generally necessary to strengthen and reinforce the structure, but the cost of reinforcement is very high. With the increasing demand for photovoltaic system installation, many photovoltaic component manufacturers have begun to launch lightweight photovoltaic power generation components, so that photovoltaic power generation systems can be safely installed on structures. However, a new problem will arise in the actual application of lightweight photovoltaic power generation components: the ability to resist hard impact is poorer than that of traditional photovoltaic components, and the internal photovoltaic cells can be easily damaged by ordinary hail and small hard particles. The main reason is that the tempered glass, which was originally superior in strength and rigidity, has been replaced by non-glass-based flexible materials with poor strength and rigidity. In order to alleviate this problem, some manufacturers have made the cover material of photovoltaic modules thicker and stronger, some have added strengthening plates to the back of photovoltaic modules to improve the overall rigidity, and some have given up the installation scheme of adding frames to lightweight modules and only provide the installation of lightweight photovoltaic modules by surface bonding on a solid base surface. However, no matter which of the above methods is used, the problem of lightweight modules resisting the impact of solid particles still exists. Utility Model Content
