Abstract
The invention relates to a new way of stabilizing and mounting solar panels in the form of conventional heat exchangers comprising a trough and a glass cover or of a photovoltaic panel on house walls with the aid of frames made of natural or artificial stones which are made break-resistant using fiber materials and are stabilized in such a way that the panels are also break-resistant on impact and can be mounted as self-supporting structures on a wall; furthermore, the panels in particular satisfy high standards in respect of esthetics and are low-maintenance and thus permanently appealing. Multiple solar panels comprising stone frames can form entire stone-solar panel facades.
Claims6
A planar or arched solar module comprising a heat exchanger or a PV light converter with a sandwich of glass, and plastic or a further glass layer, wherein an edge of the solar module is buttressed with a stone frame consisting of natural stone,
- wherein frame borders are stabilized with a layer of fiber material, said layer of fiber material being within the borders of the stone frame,
- wherein the layer of fiber material is located in an orthogonal configuration to a level of the solar module and in a longitudinal orientation in the direction of the frame border,
- wherein the fiber layer material is a resin bonded fiber selected from the group consisting of carbon fibers, stone fibers, aramid fibers, and a mixture thereof,
- wherein the stone frame is under pre-stress from the fiber layer;
- and
- wherein the frame is hard-glued to the solar module with duroplastic epoxy resins.
