Abstract
A solar battery module and its installation method are provided which are good in installation workability, which can shorten a cable, and can match various roof shapes. A distance between an output terminal and the end face of a solar battery module along a line between output terminals of adjacent solar modules is longer upon installation completion of the adjacent solar battery modules than during electrical connection of the adjacent solar battery modules.
Claims22
A solar battery module, wherein a distance between an output terminal and an end face of a solar battery module along a line connecting output terminals of adjacent solar battery modules is longer upon installation completion of the adjacent solar battery modules than during electrical connection for the adjacent solar battery modules.
A solar battery module installing method, wherein a distance between an output terminal and an end face of a solar battery module along a line connecting output terminals of adjacent solar battery modules is made longer upon installation completion of the adjacent solar battery modules than during electrical connection of the adjacent solar battery modules.
A solar battery module having photoelectromotive force elements, a support plate and an electrical wire, capable of electrically connecting the electrical wire to an electrical wire of another solar battery module,
- wherein a distance between a start point where the electrical wire is connected to the support plate and a cross point where the electrical wire crosses one side of the solar battery module, when the electrical wire of the solar battery module is connected to the electrical wire of the other solar battery module and both solar battery modules are spaced so that both electrical wires extend straight, is shorter than half a distance between the start point of the solar battery module and the start point of the other solar battery module, when the solar battery modules are adjacent to one another.
A solar battery module comprising:
- a wiring, one end of which is fixed to a start point,
- a photovoltaic element, and
- a supporting plate,
- wherein a wire drawing out side of said supporting plate is inclined with regard to another two sides sandwiching the wire drawing out side and wherein a distance from the start point to the other end of said wiring is shorter than a maximum distance from the start point to the end of the wire drawing out side.
A method for mounting a solar battery module comprising:
- a wiring, one end of which is fixed to a start point,
- a photovoltaic element, and
- a supporting plate,
- wherein a wire drawing out side of said supporting plate is inclined with regard to another two sides sandwiching the wire drawing out side and wherein a distance from the start point to the other end of said wiring is shorter than a maximum distance from the start point to the end of the wire drawing out side.
A roof comprising a solar battery module comprising:
- a wiring, one end of which is fixed to a start point,
- a photovoltaic element, and
- a supporting plate,
- wherein a wire drawing out side of said supporting plate is inclined with regard to another two sides sandwiching the wire drawing out side and wherein a distance from the start point to the other end of said wiring is shorter than a maximum distance from the start point to the end of the wire drawing out side.
