To optimally arrange roofing material integrated solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a roof setting surface, an arrangement range in which the solar battery modules can be arranged on the roof setting surface is determined. An arranging direction of the solar battery modules is determined. The number of solar battery modules which can be arranged almost horizontally in a line in the determined arranging direction and within the arrangement range is calculated. Solar battery modules of a line in a number not more than the calculated number are combined to form a solar battery module group. The solar battery module groups are arranged to set a center of the solar battery module group within the determined arrangement range and near a line almost vertically dividing the surface into two parts. The above operations are repeated a number of times corresponding to the number of lines of solar battery module groups which can be vertically arranged in the determined arranging direction and within the arrangement range.
An arranging method for arranging solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a surface which is asymmetrical in a horizontal direction comprising the steps of:
An arranging method for arranging solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a surface, comprising the steps of:
An array of solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size arranged on a face which is asymmetrical in a horizontal direction, wherein said solar battery modules are arranged on the horizontally asymmetric face to form a plurality of lines substantially in a horizontal direction, the center of each line being set near a line which passes through the horizontal center of the face, and wherein said solar battery modules partially have portions where shift substantially in the horizontal direction is irregular.
An array of solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size arranged on a face which is asymmetrical in a horizontal direction, wherein said solar battery modules are arranged on the horizontally asymmetric face to form a plurality of lines substantially in a horizontal direction, the center of each line being set near a line which passes through the horizontal center of the face, and wherein the position of a horizontal side of each solar battery module of at least one line is shifted with respect to the position of a horizontal side of each solar battery module of an adjacent line substantially in the horizontal direction.
An arranging method for arranging solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a surface comprising the steps of:
An array of solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size arranged on a roof-setting surface which is asymmetrical in a horizontal direction, wherein said solar battery modules are arranged on the horizontally asymmetric surface to form a plurality of lines substantially in a horizontal direction, the center of each line being set near a central line which passes through the center of common length of upper and lower-side module lines in a range of the roof-setting surface where said solar battery modules can be set, and wherein said solar battery modules partially have portions where shift substantially in the horizontal direction is irregular.
An arranging method for arranging solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a roof-setting surface comprising the steps of:
An array of solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size arranged on a roof-setting surface which gradually becomes narrower, wherein said solar battery modules are arranged on the roof-setting surface to form a plurality of lines substantially in a horizontal direction, the center of each line being set near a central line which passes through the center of common length of upper and lower-side module lines in a range of the roof-setting surface where said solar battery modules can be set,
An array of solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size arranged on a roof-setting surface which gradually becomes narrower, wherein said solar battery modules are arranged on the roof-setting surface to form a plurality of lines substantially in a horizontal direction, the center of each line being set near a central line which passes through the center of common length of upper and lower-side module lines in a range of the roof-setting surface where said solar battery modules can be set,
