Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] [[ID=�5]]Places where wind blows throughout the year are suitable as installation sites for wind turbines. However, when there is little wind, the power generation amount decreases or power generation cannot be performed. Further, when installing more wind turbines, wind turbines must be installed even in places where it is not appropriate to install a wind turbine alone. Another promising power generation method is solar power generation, but there are limitations to the land where solar panels can be installed. Still another promising power generation method is hydroelectric power generation. Therefore, a power generation device that can more effectively utilize land and facilities is required.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a solar panel that enables power generation by wind power or hydro power and a hybrid power generation device using the solar panel.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] This application includes a rectangular plate, and The photovoltaic element modules on the front and back surfaces of the rectangular plate, A core rod that penetrates two opposing sides of the rectangular plate, It has four rectangular plates with wing plates attached at an angle to the sides, A solar panel is disclosed in which the vanes on a pair of opposing sides of the aforementioned side are mounted in opposite directions. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] A power generation device 1 using a solar panel 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in a side view. [Figure 2] Solar panel 10 is shown. (a) is a plan view. (b) is a section view along A-A'. (c) is a section view along B-B'. [Figure 3] The vane plate 14 is shown in a perspective view. [Figure 4] A modified form of the power generation device 1A of the present invention is shown. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] Figure 1 shows a side view of a power generation device 1 using a solar panel 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The power generation device 1 may be a dual-system power generation device. The power generation device 1 can be installed in various locations such as parking lots, embankments, farmlands, parks, residential areas, mountainous areas, offshore areas, and rivers.

[0009] The power generation device 1 can generate solar power using the solar panel 10 itself, and also generate wind power using the force of the rotation of the solar panel 10 when it is hit by the wind, powered by the rotary generator 20. As shown on the right side of the figure, both ends of the solar panel 10 may be supported by the rotary generator 20, or as shown on the left side of the figure, only one end of the solar panel 10 may be supported by the rotary generator 20.

[0010] Figure 2 shows a solar panel 10. As shown in the figure, the solar panel 10 has a rectangular plate 11, two photovoltaic element modules 12, a core 13, and vanes 14.

[0011] The photovoltaic element module 12 is located on the front and back surfaces of the rectangular plate 11 (Figures 2(b) and 2(c)). The spindle 13 penetrates two opposing sides of the rectangular plate 11 (Figure 2(c)) and serves as the rotation axis of the rotary generator 20.

[0012] The blades 14 are mounted at an angle to the rectangular plate 11. The blades 14a and 14b on opposite sides of the plate are mounted in opposite directions (Figures 2(b) and 2(c)). The blades 14 receive wind. The wind generates rotational force, and the rotation of the solar panel 10 around the shaft 13 causes the rotary generator 20 to generate electricity. To increase the rotational force, it is preferable to mount the blades 14 on all four sides of the rectangular plate 11.

[0013] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the vane 14. As shown in the figure, if the vane 14 has a groove 14c extending from the tip 14y toward the joint 14x with the rectangular plate 11, the wind noise from the solar panel 10 can be reduced.

[0014] The power generation device 1 using the solar panel 10 of the above embodiment is capable of generating electricity in two ways: solar power generation by photovoltaic element module 12 and wind power generation by the rotation of the solar panel 10. Since the photovoltaic element module 12 is present on both the front and back surfaces of the rectangular plate 11, solar power generation will not become impossible due to the rotation of the solar panel 10. The photovoltaic element module 12 is cleaned by rain, which is expected to help suppress the decrease in the efficiency of solar power generation.

[0015] FIG. 4 shows a power generation device 1A according to a modified form of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the power generation device 1 is installed on the ground 2 along the river. The power generation device 1A in the modified form can be the same as the power generation device 1 except that the solar panel 10 can be moved up and down. The power generation device 1A in the modified form can also move the solar panel 10 upward to generate electricity using both sunlight and wind power (FIG. 4(a)). Further, the solar panel 10 can be moved downward and immersed in the water 3 to generate electricity using both sunlight and hydraulic power (FIG. 4(b)). This power generation device 1A in the modified form can generate electricity even at night when there is no wind and power generation using sunlight and wind power is not expected.

[0016] The solar panels 10 described in the above embodiment and the dimensions, shapes, arrangements, numbers, etc. of those elements are examples, and other modes are also possible.
