A self-illuminant delineator including a plurality of light-emitting diodes being flickerably disposed on the sign surface of the delineator and covered by a transparent cover, a solar cell module being disposed on the top surface of the delineator and covered with a transparent cover, a transmission means and/or a receiving means for a signal which controls the flickering of the light-emitting diodes. Also a self-illuminant delineator system including a plurality of the above self-illuminant delineators which are installed to form a line-up of an eye-guiding, traffic or other sign along a shoulder of a road.

Self-illuminant delineator and delineator system by use thereof

The present invention relates to a solar cell module comprising a projected section formed on a side of a module case including plural interconnected solar cell devices, a groove section formed on the opposite side to accommodate the projected section and terminals of the solar cell devices, which are provided on the projected section and the groove section so that the plural solar cell modules can be connected mechanically and electrically, whereby the first-engagement sections provided on the projected section of a module case are inserted into the second-engagement sections provided on the groove section of another module case so that plural module cases can be connected easily and securely to each other at the regular position. The present invention also relates to a solar cell module, wherein marks which indicate the insertion reference positions for insertion of the module cases and marks which indicate the regular connection positions for proper connection of the module cases are used for convenient connection and inspection.

Solar cell module

A lighting equipment adapted for outdoor location, the equipment being supported on a structure on which a solar cell is placed to charge up a battery for lighting a lamp, wherein the battery and the lamp are provided in the structure, the lamp being lit from the sunset up to the expiry of a predetermined period of time.
