Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a film for use in agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, which is integrated with flexible solar cells by coating or pasting. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, hard glass or polycarbonate was used as covering material for gabled type, while soft vinyl chloride, polyolefin resin or fluororesin was used for curved semi-cylindrical type, but in recent years, soft covering materials have been mainly used due to the high risk of breakage or falling in earthquakes.

[0003] In addition, covering materials and curtains for agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities were made from products that had physical properties such as light transmittance, heat retention, light diffusion, drip resistance, heat insulation or UV protection, and were designed to extend the period of use, such as the time between replacements.

[0004] Photovoltaic power generation and the use of solar cells in agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities have traditionally been achieved by installing sturdy panel-type devices on the roof or separately. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In recent years, with the progress of global warming, the outdoor temperature in summer has risen, and the use of greenhouses, houses and facilities for agricultural and fishery production has become a problem due to the further increase in indoor temperature, which has led to a decrease in profits from products and a rise in consumer prices. In addition, there have been cases of fatalities due to work in poor conditions.

[0006] Furthermore, rising fuel and electricity costs have led to reduced expenditures, leading to the refraining from purchasing or operating air conditioning units in the summer, resulting in harsh working conditions for produce and workers.

[0007] Furthermore, the users of agricultural and fishery greenhouses, greenhouses, and facilities are aging, and even if they understand that measures against high temperatures are necessary, they are unable to make capital investments in new air conditioning equipment, which would increase their expenses, and are being forced to go out of business. In recent years, the lack of successors has encouraged new entrants from various fields, but the current situation is one in which an increase in the number of participants is not expected unless profitability and working conditions are improved, and this is a major issue.

[0008] The present invention takes into consideration the shortcomings of conventional agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, and aims to provide a covering material or curtain that can continuously maintain a more comfortable indoor environment, while dealing with high temperatures in the summer and rising fuel and electricity costs. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above object, the expenditure reduction measure for agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities according to a first aspect of the present invention utilizes photovoltaic power generation and solar cells to reduce fuel and electricity costs.

[0010] To further reduce expenses, it would be even better to install a battery storage system so that electricity can be used day or night.

[0011] The second aspect of the present invention relates to a cost reduction measure for agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, which is to produce an integrated covering material or curtain that can also be used as a power source, made of a film coated or attached with solar cells, so that it can be used not only for new construction but also to replace covering materials or curtains used to maintain existing agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities.

[0012] A photovoltaic power generation or solar cell integrated with a covering material or curtain according to a third aspect of the present invention is characterized by having flexibility.

[0013] Furthermore, the flexibility of photovoltaic power generation and solar cells integrated into covering materials or curtains means that they can be installed in the same way as before in existing agricultural and fisheries greenhouses, houses, and facilities, making it possible to realize a reliable product without the need for new equipment or additional expenditure.

[0014] In particular, the obstacles to the introduction of air conditioning devices as a countermeasure against high temperatures will be reduced, and the working environment will be improved and the profitability of the products will increase, resulting in the realization of products that are even safer.

[0015] Furthermore, the present invention preferably provides a product that has a longer period of weather resistance against external weather, and more preferably provides a product with high power generation efficiency, thereby enabling the product user or successor to realize improved management and working environment. Effect of the Invention

[0016] As described above, the solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities of the present invention improves the productivity and profitability of agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses, and facilities, and improves the working environment, not only contributing to current users but also enabling new construction, an increase in successors and new entrants, and ultimately an increase in Japan's food self-sufficiency rate.

[0017] The solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities is flexible and can be installed in the same way as conventional covering materials or curtains. This means that no new installation equipment or materials or training is required, and installation can be done by conventional craftsmen.

[0018] In fact, agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities that use solar cell-integrated agricultural and fishery facility films in combination with storage batteries can also become evacuation sites or food distribution centers in the event of a disaster. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0019] [Figure 1] 1 is a configuration diagram of a solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2]This is a diagram showing how the power source obtained from the solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities shown in Figure 1 is used. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION

[0020] The solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities of this invention is a covering material or curtain that is necessary for maintaining agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses, and facilities, and unlike conventional covering materials or curtains, it is a productive covering material or curtain that can be used, for example, as a power source for cooling at high temperatures or heating at low temperatures.

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, this is a film product in which solar cells 11 are coated or attached to the outer or inner surface of a covering material or curtain 10.

[0023] FIG. 2 shows an example of the use of the solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities of this invention as a power source. As shown in FIG. 2, solar cells 11 integrated with covering material or curtains 10 can be used directly or via storage batteries 12 to open and close skylights 13, side windows 14, gable windows 15, exterior curtains 16, interior curtains 17, operate heating equipment 18, air conditioning equipment 19, indoor air circulation equipment 20, ventilation equipment 21 for introducing outside air or exhausting it to the outside, irrigation equipment 22, cultivation water cooling equipment 23, cultivation water heating equipment 24, environmental control panel 25, irrigation control panel 26, and use of outlets 27, among other uses.

[0024] As described above, according to the present invention, the solar cell-integrated film for agricultural and fishery facilities can be used in not only new construction but also existing agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, and is an easy-to-introduce product as no new equipment is required and the construction method is the same as conventional methods. It can also be used as a power source within the facilities, thereby improving the working environment for users of agricultural and fishery greenhouses, houses and facilities, improving the profitability of products, and encouraging an increase in the number of people taking up farming.
