A building material-integrated solar cell module () includes a solar cell panel (), a cushioning member () disposed at a back side of the solar cell panel (), a base plate () formed of an incombustible material and supporting the cushioning member (), and a cable () drawn from the back side of the solar cell panel () and wired on a front side of the base plate ().

Building material-integrated solar cell module and roof structure provided with same

First and second engaging members () each including an engaging portion () are attached to a ridge-side end of each of first through third solar cell panels () and are disposed with an interval in a beam direction. First and second engaged members () each including an engaged portion () are attached to an eaves-side end of each solar cell panel () and are disposed with an interval in the beam direction. The engaging portion () of the first engaging member () of the first solar cell panel () is engaged with the engaged portion () of the first engaged member () of the second solar cell panel (), whereas the engaging portion () of the second engaging member () of the first solar cell panel () is engaged with the engaged portion () of the second engaged member () of the third solar cell panel ().

Installation structure of solar cell panel

It is an object to provide a solar cell module achieving reduced improper wiring and improved working efficiency. The present invention provides a solar cell moduleincluding a solar cell panel, a terminal boxhousing a plus electrode-connecting terminal in electrical connection with a positive electrode of the paneland a minus electrode-connecting terminal in electrical connection with a negative electrode of the panel, a first cableconsisting of one of two positive inner wiresconnected to the plus electrode-connecting terminal and one of two negative inner wiresconnected to the minus electrode-connecting terminal, in which the wiresandare brought together, a second connectorconsisting of the other of the two positive inner wiresand the other of the two negative inner wires, in which the wiresandare brought together, a first connectorconnected to the first cable, and a second connectorconnected to the second cable, and being characterized in that the first cableis shorter than the second cable

Solar cell module, arrangement structure of the same, and method for arranging the same

It is an object to develop a roof structure having a high capacity for water interception, being safe from leaking of rain, and ensuring a certain level of mounting strength even in breaking of one piece of roof members. Solar cell modules () are mounted on a fundamental roof structure () with slate tiles (roof member) () via eaves-side mounting brackets (eaves-side clamps) () and intermediate mounting brackets (clamps) (). The intermediate mounting brackets () each are attached to an end portion of a specific roof member so that a lower plate () is positioned between the specific roof member and an underlying roof member. The lower plate () is fixed by a screw or the like driven in a hole (). The specific roof member is arranged over the underlying roof member in which the screw is driven, thereby protecting an attaching hole () from rainwater seepage. An upper plateoverlaps the specific roof member with a fastening element () driven into the attaching hole (). An overlying roof member is arranged over the specific roof member, thereby also protecting the attaching hole () from rainwater seepage.

Roof structure, clamp for solar cell module, and method for mounting solar cell module

A sheet antenna apparatus capable of favorably receiving vertically polarized electromagnetic waves is provided which includes an antenna element 11 comprising a main antenna portion 15 having a vertical segment 19, a pair of upper and lower lateral segments 20 and 21 respectively extending laterally from opposite ends of the vertical segment 19 and a pair of feeder segments 22 respectively extending inwardly from the terminating ends of the lateral segments 20 and 21, and a parasitic antenna element comprising an inner loop portion 16 and an outer loop portion 17 which form a double loop and are disposed as adjoining to one of the lateral segments 20 and 21. The vertical segment 19 of the antenna element 11 substantially coincides with the direction of vertically polarized electromagnetic waves and hence receives vertically polarized electromagnetic waves favorably. Further, when the frequency of received electromagnetic waves is high, the inner loop portion 16 becomes resonant with the main antenna portion 15, while when the frequency of received electromagnetic waves is low, the outer loop portion 17 becomes resonant with the main antenna portion 15. Thus, the antenna apparatus can successfully receive vertically polarized electromagnetic waves within an extensive frequency range.
