Abstract
There are provided a solar cell panel and a frame mounted to an edge of the solar cell panel, wherein: the frame includes an elongated annular part provided along the edge of the solar cell panel and supporting the solar cell panel from a back surface side; the annular part includes an annular part having an annular shape in cross section orthogonal to a longitudinal direction thereof; the annular part includes a first part abutting against the solar cell panel in the cross section, and a pair of corners provided at both ends of the first part; and at least one of the pair of corners has an acute angle.
Claims4
A solar cell module, which comprises a solar cell panel and a frame mounted to an edge of said solar cell panel, wherein:
- said frame includes an elongated support part provided along the edge of said solar cell panel and supporting said solar cell panel from a back surface side;
- said support part includes an annular part having an annular shape in cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof;
- said annular part includes a first part abutting against said solar cell panel in said cross section, and a pair of corners provided at both ends of said first part, wherein at least one of said pair of corners has an acute angle,
- said annular part further including a second part connected to one end of said first part, and a third part connected to the other end of said first part;
- said second part being provided so as to be orthogonal to said first part;
- said third part being tilted relative to said second part so as to be close to said second part;
- said annular part further including a fourth part connected to said second part and said third part,
- wherein a length of said fourth part in a direction orthogonal to said longitudinal direction is smaller than a length of said first part in a direction orthogonal to said longitudinal direction.
