[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a partial exploded front view of a solar panel support structure according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a front view of the solar panel support of the same embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. [Diagram 5] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to only such an embodiment.

[0016] 1 and 2 show a solar panel support structure (hereinafter simply referred to as a support structure) K according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the support structure K includes as its main components an installation auxiliary material A arranged on the peak portion of the existing folded plate roof, and a solar panel support (hereinafter simply referred to as the support) S arranged on the installation auxiliary material A.

[0018] The mounting auxiliary material A is formed by bending a steel plate (for example, galvalume steel), and has a base 1 formed to fit the peak of the existing folded plate roof, and a protruding portion 2 integrally protruding from the base 1, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The protruding portion 2 is intended to avoid interference with a protruding object at the top of the peak of the existing folded plate roof, and the protruding height is, for example, 30 mm. In other words, the protruding portion 2 has a height sufficient to accommodate the protruding object provided on the existing folded plate roof.

[0019] The thickness of the mounting support material A is, for example, 1.2 mm to 1.6 mm, and the length is adjusted to cover the area where the solar panels are to be installed. The mounting support material A is attached to the peak of the existing folded plate roof by, for example, screws.

[0020] 3 to 5 show a support S according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the support S is configured to cover the mounting auxiliary material A, and includes as its main components a support base 10 that covers the base 1 of the mounting auxiliary material A, a top plate (solar panel support member) 20 on which the solar panel is placed and supported, and a connecting member 30 that connects the support base 10 and the top plate 20.

[0022] The support base 10 is formed by bending and molding a steel plate (the plate thickness is set to a thickness that allows the connecting member 30 to be welded, for example 2.3 mm), and consists of an upper portion 11 having an inverted groove shape, and a lower portion 12 that is integrated with the upper portion 11 and molded into a V-shape to fit the mounting auxiliary material A.

[0023] The size of the upper portion 11 is, for example, a rectangle with an upper surface of 80 mm x 100 mm, and the long side is folded to form an inverted groove shape. The width of the fold, i.e., the rising height of the groove, is adjusted so that the protrusion 2 can be stored therein.

[0024] However, the size of the upper portion 11 is not limited to the above, but may be appropriately determined depending on the size of the folded-plate roof on which the solar panels are to be installed.

[0025] The lower part 12 is molded integrally with the long side end of the upper part 11, and the length of the oblique side formed in a V shape to cover the slope of the auxiliary mounting material A is, for example, 80 mm. Although not shown in the figure, the lower part 12 is appropriately provided with screw insertion holes for fastening the support S to the auxiliary mounting material A with screws.

[0026] The top plate 20 is made by forming a steel plate (with a plate thickness of, for example, 3.2 mm) into a rectangle, with, for example, a short side of 75 mm and a long side of 110 mm. In the illustrated example, the top plate 20 has its long side perpendicular to the peaks of the folded-plate roof. Depending on the installation conditions of the solar panel, the long side can also be parallel to the peaks of the folded-plate roof.

[0027] Although not shown, the top plate 20 is provided with appropriate bolt holes for fastening the solar panel to the top plate 20 with bolts and nuts.

[0028] The connection member 30 is, for example, a steel pipe of 50 A. The length (height) of the connection member 30 may be appropriately determined, but is 100 mm in the illustrated example.

[0029] Next, the installation of solar panels using the support structure K configured as above will be described.

[0030] Step 1: Place the mounting support material A in the designated position on the existing folded plate roof.

[0031] Step 2: The required number of supports S are arranged in a predetermined arrangement on the existing folded plate roof. That is, they are arranged on the mounting auxiliary material A. In this case, it is preferable to arrange the lower part 12 of the support S at a position where the tight frame is located.

[0032] Step 3: Place the mounting bracket for the solar panel on the top plate 20.

[0033] Step 4: Adjust the position of the mounting bracket for the solar panel so that the bolt holes of the mounting bracket match the bolt holes of the top plate 20.

[0034] Step 5: The mounting bracket is fastened to the top plate 20 with bolts and nuts, and the solar panel is placed and fixed to the support S.

[0035] This series of steps is performed for all solar panels to install them on the existing folded-plate roof.

[0036] Thus, according to this invention, the excellent effect is achieved in that solar panels can be installed on an existing folded roof by the simple task of arranging the supports S on the existing folded roof, then arranging the solar panels on those supports S and fastening them with bolts and nuts.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to only such an embodiment and various modifications are possible.

[0038] For example, the size of the top plate 20 is not limited to that described above, but may be appropriately determined according to the size of the solar panel to be placed and fixed thereon.

[0039] In addition, in the above embodiment, an existing folded plate roof is used as an example, but the application of the present invention is not limited to existing folded plate roofs, but can also be applied to newly constructed folded plate roofs. [Industrial Applicability]

[0040] The present invention is applicable to the construction industry. [Explanation of symbols]
