System to promote the installation of solar power generation equipment on canopy roofs

Abstract

To provide an installation promotion system for a photovoltaic power generation facility to a canopy roof generally used at a fuel depot such as a gas station.SOLUTION: An installation promotion system is used for installing a photovoltaic power generation facility on a canopy roof 4 of a gas station, among three parties of an owner of the gas station 1, a manufacturer of a solar panel, and an installer to install the photovoltaic power generation facility. The owner of the gas station provides the canopy roof of the gas station for free. The manufacturer of the solar panel provides the solar panel. The installer constructs the photovoltaic power generation facility on the canopy roof. The installer bears maintenance costs, in the operation after completion of the photovoltaic power generation facility. Power sale revenue due to the photovoltaic power generation facility is distributed by the manufacturer of the solar panel and the installer in a fixed ratio.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Claims

[Claim 1] Solar power generation equipment whose power output changes depending on the weather, A gas station canopy roof where the installer can install the aforementioned solar power generation device free of charge, A management server connected via a communication network to the manufacturer and installer of the aforementioned solar power generation equipment, A system for promoting the installation of solar power generation equipment on a canopy roof equipped with the following: The management server comprises a first computing means, a second computing means, and a management means. The first calculation means, after the completion of the solar power generation system, performs calculations based on an installation contract in which the revenue from selling electricity generated by the solar power generation system is distributed between the manufacturer of the solar power generation system and the installer at a fixed rate, calculates the revenue from selling electricity generated by the solar power generation system, which varies depending on the weather, calculates the maintenance costs, and calculates the remaining amount at a rate set between the manufacturer of the solar power generation system and the installer in accordance with the installation contract. The second calculation means calculates whether the amount of electricity generated by the solar power generation device, which changes according to the weather conditions of the day, such as rain or clouds, is necessary for selling electricity, exceeds the amount of electricity required to supply power to the gas station. The management means starts operating the solar power generation equipment during daytime hours (sunrise to sunset), calculates the power generated by the solar power generation equipment based on sunlight, charges the power generated by the equipment to a power storage device, and transmits the power to a power conditioner. If, based on the calculation results of the second calculation means, the power generated by the solar power generation equipment is insufficient, the management means does not transmit the power generated by the equipment and instead uses it only as electricity for the office facilities of the gas station. A system for promoting the installation of solar power generation equipment on canopy roofs, characterized by the following features.
