[0026] Figures 1 and 2 show the first embodiment of the building-integrated solar module of the present invention. It is mainly composed of a steel component 10, multiple sets of snap-fit ​​fixing seats 20, two sets of overlapping plates 30 and two sets of solar modules 40. However, in actual use, the number of steel components 10, snap-fit ​​fixing seats 20, overlapping plates 30 and solar modules 40 can be increased according to the needs.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The steel component 10 is a C-shaped steel, and a snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20 is provided on the top surface of the steel component 10.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the buckle fixing seat 20 is installed on the top surface of the aforementioned steel component 10. In this embodiment, the buckle fixing seat 20 has a slightly inverted U-shaped structure.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The overlapping plates 30 are similar in shape to continuous wave-shaped steel plate components. Each overlapping plate 30 has at least one protruding overlapping portion 31 and a protruding connecting seat 32, as well as a recessed portion 33 between the overlapping portion 31 and the connecting seat 32. The aforementioned overlapping portion 31 is attached to the snap-fit ​​fixing seats 20, and then locked to the steel component 10 from one end of the overlapping plate 30 by a connecting element. The bottom surface of the recessed portion 33 abuts against the top surface of the steel component 10, as shown in the enlarged view of Figure 2. The connecting seat 32 provides for the overlapping portion 31 of another set of overlapping plates 30 to be fastened, so that the overlapping plates 30 form a continuous connection.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the solar modules 40 are installed on the concave portion 33 of the overlapping plate 30. From Figures 1 and 2, it can be understood that the solar modules 40 are directly mounted on the overlapping plate 30, eliminating the need for additional support brackets on the overlapping plate 30 as in conventional structures. Simply put, the solar modules 40 are directly integrated into the overlapping plate 30, directly into the building materials.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4, which are the second embodiment of the present invention. The overall structure is basically the same as the first embodiment, with the following differences: (1) The lap joint 31 and the connecting seat 32 are slightly different in appearance, but the combination of the appearance can be more tightly connected and can achieve the effect of preventing water leakage; (2) The buckle fixing seat 20 is composed of a protrusion 21 with two protrusions and a flat plate 22 provided on the two protrusions 21; (3) During installation, the buckle fixing seat 20 is first locked to the steel member 10, and then the lap joint 31 and the connecting seat 32 at both ends of the lap plate 30 are respectively buckled on the buckle fixing seat 20, and the concave part 33 abuts against the flat plate 22, and the installation can be completed.

[0032] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, this is the third embodiment of the present invention, which also includes a steel component 10, a snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20, two sets of overlapping plates 30' and two sets of solar modules 40.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 5 and 6. In this embodiment, the buckle fixing seat 20 has a plum blossom-like shape, and the overlapping plate 30' is a U-shaped steel plate component. The overlapping plate 30' includes a protruding engagement seat 31' with a plum blossom-like cross-section and a protruding engagement seat 32' with a circular cross-section. A concave portion 33' is provided between the engagement seat 31' and the engagement seat 32'. After the engagement seat 32' is fastened to the buckle fixing seat 20, the engagement seat 32' is then secured by a machine. The interlocking seat 31' engages with the snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20 (as shown in the enlarged view of Figure 6). The interlocking seat 32' provides another set of interlocking seats 32' for the overlapping plates 30' to be connected by a machine, so that the overlapping plates 30' form a continuous connection. The solar module 40 is installed on the concave part 33'. Based on this embodiment, the overlapping plates 30' can be tightly connected and resist strong winds. At the same time, the design of the interlocking seat 32' can prevent rainwater from seeping in and achieve the advantage of waterproofing.

[0034] Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the fifth embodiment of the present invention, which is mainly a schematic diagram of another interlocking connection shown in Figures 5 and 6. In this embodiment, the connecting seat 31' is C-shaped and the interlocking seat 32' is U-shaped. The interlocking seat 32' is also connected to the snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20 by means of a machine. The connecting seat 31' can provide another overlapping plate (not shown) for interlocking connection. The concave part 33' is also provided with a bearing surface 34' next to the connecting seat 31' and the interlocking seat 32'. The solar module 40 is straddling the bearing surface 34', which can also achieve quick and convenient installation. The solar module 40 does not need to be installed with an additional bracket, which greatly improves the convenience of installation.

[0035] As shown in Figures 8 to 11, another embodiment of the present invention is presented. In this embodiment, the overlapping portion 31 of the overlapping plate 30 is U-shaped, and the connecting seat 32 is inverted C-shaped. The concave portion 33 between the overlapping portion 31 and the connecting seat 32 can provide a solar module 40 for installation. During installation, the buckle fixing seat 20 is also placed on the steel component 10 and sewn by machine. It is worth mentioning that in Figures 10 and 11, the sewn part will have a structure similar to a paperclip. The advantage of this is that the overlapping plate 30 can be firmly connected and prevent the overlapping plate 30 from being blown off by strong winds.

[0036] In some embodiments, the overlapping plate 30 is further provided with an extension (not shown in the figure), which has a plurality of protrusions. By means of the protrusions of the extension, the overlapping plates can increase the contact area and friction when joined, thereby achieving the effect of waterproofing and strong wind resistance after joining.

[0037] Through the description of various embodiments of the present invention, the functional advantages that the present invention can obtain are summarized as follows:

[0038] 1. The present invention adopts a snap-fit ​​assembly structure, which allows the solar module 40 to be pre-assembled in the factory or installed on site. The overlapping part 31, the connecting seat 32 and the snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20, or the overlapping seat 31', the interlocking seat 32' and the snap-fit ​​fixing seat 20 can be quickly combined, eliminating the disadvantages of the previous solar module 40 that required the construction of brackets, and improving the construction efficiency of the solar module 40.

[0039] 2. The solar module 40 of the present invention is installed on the concave part 33, and has multiple advantages such as wind pressure resistance, high structural strength and light overall weight.

[0040] 3. In addition, the height of the solar module 40 in the diagram is only for illustration. In actual installation, the overlapping plate 30 will not block the solar module 40.
