Device for optimizing the operation of photovoltaic panels.

Abstract

Device 10 for optimizing the operation of photovoltaic panels comprising: a canvas 30 made of flexible, waterproof synthetic material, capable of covering the entire surface of the roof 20 and supporting small assemblies of flexible photovoltaic cells 30a; a net 31, made of flexible synthetic material, forming a grid and supporting heating electric resistors capable of liquefying frost and snow; a winding shaft 32f for the canvas 30 arranged near the roof ridge; a winding shaft 32b for the net 31 arranged near the base of the roof; two positioning shafts 33f,33b for the canvas 30 and the net 31 at a short, constant distance 21 from the roof 20, and serving as guides during winding operations; two protective fairings 34f,34b for the shafts 32f,32b against weathering;a flexible brush 35 fixed to the fairing 34f, at least the width of the canvas 30, driven by its own electric motor and intended to be activated when the canvas 30 is rolled up for cleaning; a set of measuring instruments providing information to a controller 45 equipped with a clock, and comprising: an anemometer 40; a thermometer 41; a precipitation detector 42; a light sensor 43; in order to trigger the securing of the canvas 30, its cleaning, its redeployment.

Claims

minimum, information given to the controller (45) by a light sensor (43). [Fig. 1] 4Q [Fig. 3] 10
