Description

本発明は、住宅建物の屋根部分等に設置される太陽電池モジュールの端面封止部材に係り、特に、太陽電池モジュール本体とそれを支持する枠体との間の止水性能を確保するための改良に関する。   The present invention relates to an end face sealing member of a solar cell module installed on a roof portion or the like of a residential building, and in particular, to ensure water stopping performance between a solar cell module main body and a frame body that supports the solar cell module main body. Regarding improvement.

図6に示すように、太陽電池モジュールは、一般的に太陽電池モジュール本体4と枠体5とにより構成されている。図6(a)は太陽電池モジュール2の平面図、図6(b)は図6(a)におけるB矢視図、図6(c)は図6(a)におけるC矢視図である。   As shown in FIG. 6, the solar cell module is generally composed of a solar cell module body 4 and a frame body 5. 6 (a) is a plan view of the solar cell module 2, FIG. 6 (b) is a view as seen from the arrow B in FIG. 6 (a), and FIG. 6 (c) is a view as seen from the arrow C in FIG.

太陽電池モジュール本体4は、図7にその端部45を一部拡大して示すように、表面側である受光面ガラス41上(図面では下側となっている)に、エチレンビニルアセテート(EVA)からなる受光面側封止用樹脂層42a、多結晶シリコンにより形成された太陽電池セル43、エチレンビニルアセテート(EVA)からなる裏面側封止用樹脂層42b、裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44の順に積層され、一体化ラミネート加工されたスーパーストレート型構造のものが知られている。これにより、この太陽電池モジュール本体4は、耐候性が確保された矩形状の薄板として構成されている。なお、上記太陽電池セル41は、単結晶シリコンやアモルファスシリコン等で形成されたものであってもよい。   The solar cell module body 4 has an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) on the light-receiving surface glass 41 (lower side in the drawing) on the surface side, as shown in FIG. ) Comprising a light receiving surface side sealing resin layer 42a, a solar battery cell 43 formed of polycrystalline silicon, a back side sealing resin layer 42b made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and a back side sealing weathering film 44. A super straight type structure that is laminated in the above order and is integrally laminated is known. Thereby, this solar cell module main body 4 is comprised as a rectangular-shaped thin board with which the weather resistance was ensured. The solar battery cell 41 may be formed of single crystal silicon, amorphous silicon, or the like.

枠体5は、図6及び図8(図6におけるIII 部分の分解斜視図)に示すように、上記太陽電池モジュール本体4の四辺を保持するものであって、上側フレーム材51、下側フレーム材52、左右一対の側端フレーム材53,54を備えており、これらフレーム材51,52,53,54が一体的に組み付けられることにより枠状に形成されている。ただし、図8は、下側フレーム材52と右側の側端フレーム材54との組み付け部分を示している。   The frame 5 holds the four sides of the solar cell module body 4 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 (disassembled perspective view of the portion III in FIG. 6), and includes an upper frame member 51 and a lower frame. A material 52 and a pair of left and right side edge frame materials 53 and 54 are provided, and the frame materials 51, 52, 53 and 54 are integrally assembled to form a frame shape. However, FIG. 8 shows an assembly portion of the lower frame material 52 and the right side frame material 54.

各フレーム材51,52,53,54は、アルミニウムの押出加工によりそれぞれ成形されている。上側フレーム材51は、太陽電池モジュール本体4における住宅棟側に位置する端縁を保持している。下側フレーム材52は、太陽電池モジュール本体4における住宅軒側に位置する端縁を保持している。各側端フレーム材53,54は、太陽電池モジュール本体4の左右両側縁をそれぞれ保持すると共に、上側フレーム材51及び下側フレーム材52の両端縁同士を連結している。   Each frame material 51, 52, 53, 54 is formed by extrusion of aluminum. The upper frame material 51 holds an edge located on the residential building side in the solar cell module body 4. The lower frame member 52 holds an edge located on the house eaves side in the solar cell module body 4. The side end frame members 53 and 54 respectively hold the left and right side edges of the solar cell module body 4 and connect both end edges of the upper frame member 51 and the lower frame member 52.

次に、これら各フレーム材51,52,53,54の基本構成について詳細に説明する。基本構成は、各フレーム材51,52,53,54に共通であるため、ここでは図9を用いて側端フレーム材54の断面形状について説明する。ただし、以下の断面形状の説明では、図9における左方向を太陽電池モジュール2の外縁を構成する外側とし、図中右方向を太陽電池モジュール本体4を支持する側、つまり内側であるとして説明する。   Next, the basic configuration of each of the frame members 51, 52, 53, 54 will be described in detail. Since the basic configuration is common to the frame members 51, 52, 53, and 54, the sectional shape of the side end frame member 54 will be described with reference to FIG. However, in the following description of the cross-sectional shape, it is assumed that the left direction in FIG. 9 is the outside constituting the outer edge of the solar cell module 2, and the right direction in the drawing is the side that supports the solar cell module body 4, that is, the inside. .

図9に示すように、側端フレーム材54は、矩形の閉断面を有するフレーム本体54aを備えていると共に、このフレーム本体54aの上面の外側端(図中左端)から上方に延びた後、内側(図中右側)へ折り曲げられて成る延長屈曲片54bが設けられている。これにより、フレーム本体54aの上面54cと延長屈曲片54bの水平部分54dとの間で太陽電池モジュール本体4の外周端部が嵌り込む溝部54eが形成されている。また、フレーム本体54aの上面54cの内側端(図中右側端)には、太陽電池モジュール本体4の下面が当接するフランジ54fが突設されている。なお、この溝部54eの幅寸法(図9中の上下方向寸法)は、太陽電池モジュール本体4の厚さ寸法よりも僅かに大きく設定されている。   As shown in FIG. 9, the side end frame member 54 includes a frame main body 54a having a rectangular closed cross section, and extends upward from the outer end (left end in the figure) of the upper surface of the frame main body 54a. An extended bent piece 54b that is bent inward (right side in the figure) is provided. Thus, a groove portion 54e into which the outer peripheral end portion of the solar cell module body 4 is fitted is formed between the upper surface 54c of the frame body 54a and the horizontal portion 54d of the extended bent piece 54b. Further, a flange 54f with which the lower surface of the solar cell module main body 4 abuts is protruded from the inner end (right end in the figure) of the upper surface 54c of the frame main body 54a. In addition, the width dimension (vertical direction dimension in FIG. 9) of this groove part 54e is set slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the solar cell module main body 4. FIG.

また、フレーム本体54aの外側(図中左側)の側面には、僅かに水平方向に延びた後、上方へ折り曲げられて成る延長片54gが突設されている。   Further, an extension piece 54g that extends slightly in the horizontal direction and is bent upward is projected from the side surface of the outer side (left side in the drawing) of the frame main body 54a.

なお、図8中の符号52hは、下側フレーム材52に設けられたビスホールを有するビス止め部であり、符号54hは、このビス止め部52hに対向して側縁フレーム材54に設けられたビス孔である。   In addition, the code | symbol 52h in FIG. 8 is a screw stop part which has the screw hole provided in the lower frame material 52, and the code | symbol 54h was provided in the side edge frame material 54 facing this screw stop part 52h. It is a screw hole.

ところで、このような構成の太陽電池モジュール2は、太陽電池モジュール本体4と枠体5との間の止水性能を十分に確保し、この両者間の隙間から雨水等が浸入しないようにしておく必要があるため、従来から種々の止水方式が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   By the way, the solar cell module 2 having such a configuration ensures a sufficient water stopping performance between the solar cell module main body 4 and the frame body 5 so that rainwater or the like does not enter from a gap between the two. Since it is necessary, various water stop methods have been conventionally proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図10は、太陽電池モジュール本体4と枠体5との間を止水する従来の止水構造の一例を示しており、太陽電池モジュール本体4と枠体5との間に、テープ状の止水部材61を介挿させた構造となっている。すなわち、止水部材61は、側端フレーム材54の溝部54eの開放部分を覆うように配置されている。この止水部材61は、EPDM等の発泡材により形成された薄板状の部材であって、側端フレーム材54の延長片54bの水平部分54dからフランジ54fに跨って設けられている。また、この止水部材61は、このフランジ54fの先端部分に接着されている(図10(a)におけるI部分)。つまり、止水部材61は、延長屈曲片54bの水平部分54dに対しては単に接触しているのみであって(図10(a)におけるII部分)、この端部は自由端となっている。さらに、この止水部材61の厚さ寸法は、側端フレーム材54の溝部54eの幅寸法(図10(a)中の上下方向寸法)から太陽電池モジュール本体4の厚さ寸法を減じた値を1/2した寸法よりも僅かに大きく設定されている。この止水部材61は、例えばブチレンゴムによって形成されている。   FIG. 10 shows an example of a conventional water-stop structure for stopping water between the solar cell module main body 4 and the frame 5, and a tape-like stop is provided between the solar cell module main body 4 and the frame 5. The water member 61 is inserted. That is, the water stop member 61 is disposed so as to cover the open portion of the groove 54 e of the side end frame member 54. The water stop member 61 is a thin plate member formed of a foam material such as EPDM, and is provided across the horizontal portion 54d of the extension piece 54b of the side end frame material 54 and the flange 54f. Further, the water stop member 61 is bonded to the tip portion of the flange 54f (I portion in FIG. 10A). That is, the water stop member 61 is merely in contact with the horizontal portion 54d of the extended bent piece 54b (II portion in FIG. 10A), and this end portion is a free end. . Further, the thickness dimension of the water stop member 61 is a value obtained by subtracting the thickness dimension of the solar cell module body 4 from the width dimension (vertical direction dimension in FIG. 10A) of the groove 54e of the side end frame member 54. Is set to be slightly larger than a dimension obtained by halving the size. The water stop member 61 is made of, for example, butylene rubber.

上記説明では、一方の側端フレーム材54における止水部材61の配設状態について説明したが、他方の側端フレーム材53においても同様に止水部材61,62,62が配設されており、さらに、上側フレーム材51及び下側フレーム材52においても同様にして止水部材61が配設されている。   In the above description, the arrangement state of the water stop member 61 in the one side end frame member 54 has been described. However, the water stop members 61, 62, 62 are similarly provided in the other side end frame member 53. Further, the water stop member 61 is similarly disposed in the upper frame member 51 and the lower frame member 52.

この止水部材61は、各フレーム51,52,53,54に太陽電池モジュール本体4を嵌め込むときに、同時に嵌め込まれる。ここでは、側端フレーム54に対して太陽電池モジュール本体4の側端部を嵌め込む際の動作を代表して説明する。すなわち、側端フレーム材54の溝部54eに太陽電池モジュール本体4の側端部を嵌め込むと、太陽電池モジュール本体4からの押圧力によって止水部材61が変形する。   The water stop member 61 is fitted at the same time when the solar cell module body 4 is fitted into each of the frames 51, 52, 53, 54. Here, the operation when the side end portion of the solar cell module body 4 is fitted into the side end frame 54 will be described as a representative. That is, when the side end portion of the solar cell module main body 4 is fitted into the groove portion 54 e of the side end frame member 54, the water stop member 61 is deformed by the pressing force from the solar cell module main body 4.

止水部材61の変形は、図10(b)に示すように、止水部材61の自由端側(図10(b)において上側に位置している部分)が太陽電池モジュール本体4によって溝部54eの内部に押し込まれ、この溝部54eの内面に沿って太陽電池モジュール本体4の外周部に巻き付くように変形する。このため、太陽電池モジュール本体4の外周部の表面側及び裏面側と溝部54eの内面との間にはそれぞれ止水部材61が存在することになる。この際、上述したように、止水部材61の厚さ寸法は、溝部54eの幅寸法(図10(b)中の上下方向寸法)から太陽電池モジュール本体4の厚さ寸法を減じた値の1/2よりも僅かに大きく設定されているため、この嵌め込み動作が完了した状態では、止水部材61は溝部54eの内面と太陽電池モジュール本体4の外面(表面及び裏面)との間で圧縮さ
れた状態となる。
特開2001−230440号公報(図6(a)、図8)
As shown in FIG. 10B, the deformation of the water stop member 61 is such that the free end side of the water stop member 61 (the portion positioned on the upper side in FIG. 10B) is grooved 54e by the solar cell module body 4. Is deformed so as to be wound around the outer peripheral portion of the solar cell module body 4 along the inner surface of the groove portion 54e. For this reason, the water stop member 61 exists between the surface side and back surface side of the outer peripheral part of the solar cell module main body 4, and the inner surface of the groove part 54e, respectively. At this time, as described above, the thickness dimension of the water stop member 61 is a value obtained by subtracting the thickness dimension of the solar cell module body 4 from the width dimension of the groove portion 54e (the vertical dimension in FIG. 10B). Since it is set to be slightly larger than ½, the water stop member 61 is compressed between the inner surface of the groove 54e and the outer surface (front surface and back surface) of the solar cell module body 4 in a state where the fitting operation is completed. It will be in the state.

上記構成の止水構造によれば、太陽電池モジュール本体4とそれを支持する枠体5との間の止水性能を確保することができる。   According to the water stop structure of the said structure, the water stop performance between the solar cell module main body 4 and the frame 5 which supports it is securable.

しかし、この止水構造では、太陽電池モジュール本体4の外周端部を枠体5の溝部54eに嵌め込むときに、同時にテープ状の止水部材61を枠体5の溝部54e内に押し込みながら嵌め込んでいく構造であるため、止水部材61の一方の縁部がフランジ54fの先端部分に接着されているとはいうものの、押し込み圧によって止水部材61がずれ、太陽電池モジュール本体4の周端部全体を均等の状態で封止することが難しいといった問題があった。また、ずれて枠体の溝部からはみ出した部分については、作業者がナイフ等で切除するという後工程が必要となるため、作業工程が増加するといった問題があった。   However, in this water stop structure, when the outer peripheral end portion of the solar cell module body 4 is fitted into the groove portion 54e of the frame body 5, the tape-like water stop member 61 is simultaneously pushed into the groove portion 54e of the frame body 5 while being fitted. However, although one edge portion of the water stop member 61 is bonded to the tip end portion of the flange 54f, the water stop member 61 is displaced by the pressing pressure, and the periphery of the solar cell module body 4 is There was a problem that it was difficult to seal the entire end portion in a uniform state. In addition, since the post-process where the operator cuts out the groove portion of the frame body with a knife or the like is necessary, there is a problem that the work process increases.

また、テープ状の止水部材61を折り曲げながら枠体5の溝部54e内に押し込んでいくため、この押し込み作業も煩雑であり、手間と時間とがかかるといった問題もあった。   Further, since the tape-shaped water-stopping member 61 is pushed into the groove portion 54e of the frame body 5 while being bent, the pushing operation is complicated and there is a problem that it takes time and effort.

さらに、枠体5の角部分では、止水部材61が無理な状態で折り曲げられるため、この部分については別の止水部材を用意しなければならず、特に角部分の止水性能を充分に確保することが難しいといった問題もあった。   Furthermore, since the water-stop member 61 is bent in an unreasonable state at the corner portion of the frame body 5, another water-stop member must be prepared for this portion, and the water-stop performance of the corner portion is particularly sufficient. There was also a problem that it was difficult to secure.

一方、このようにして止水性能を確保しているにも係わらず、従来の太陽電池モジュールでは、時間経過とともに太陽電池モジュール本体の周端部が黄色く変色するといった現象が発生していた。従って、このような黄変も防止する必要があった。   On the other hand, in spite of securing the water stopping performance in this way, in the conventional solar cell module, a phenomenon has occurred in which the peripheral end portion of the solar cell module main body changes to yellow with the passage of time. Therefore, it was necessary to prevent such yellowing.

本発明はかかる問題点を解決すべく創案されたもので、その目的は、太陽電池モジュールを組み付けるときの作業性を考慮した簡単な構造で止水性(すなわち、封止性)を確保するとともに、太陽電池モジュール本体の黄変を確実に防止し得る太陽電池モジュールの端面封止部材を提供することにある。   The present invention was devised to solve such problems, and its purpose is to ensure water-stopping (that is, sealing performance) with a simple structure considering workability when assembling a solar cell module, An object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module end face sealing member that can reliably prevent yellowing of the solar cell module body.

本発明は、太陽電池モジュール本体が枠体に嵌め込まれた構造の太陽電池モジュールを前提としている。そして、太陽電池モジュール本体の外形に沿って形成された枠形状の端面封止部材を用意し、この端面封止部材を太陽電池モジュール本体の端部全周に渡って嵌め込んだ状態で枠体に嵌め込む構造としている。   The present invention is premised on a solar cell module having a structure in which a solar cell module main body is fitted in a frame. Then, a frame-shaped end face sealing member formed along the outer shape of the solar cell module body is prepared, and the end face sealing member is fitted over the entire periphery of the end portion of the solar cell module body. It has a structure that fits in.

そのため、端面封止部材は、太陽電池モジュール本体の表面側に当接する上側封止片と、太陽電池モジュール本体の裏面側に当接する下側封止片と、太陽電池モジュール本体の端面に当接する横側封止片からなる断面略コ字状に形成されている。   Therefore, the end surface sealing member contacts the upper sealing piece that contacts the front surface side of the solar cell module main body, the lower sealing piece that contacts the rear surface side of the solar cell module main body, and the end surface of the solar cell module main body. It is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section made of a lateral sealing piece.

この場合、端面封止部材は、下側封止片が上側封止片よりも長くなるように形成されていてもよい。下側封止片は、太陽電池モジュール本体の裏面側に当接する部分であり、太陽電池セルの受光を妨げないので、枠体からはみ出しても問題はない。このように下側封止片を長くすることによって、端面封止部材が太陽電池モジュール本体から容易に抜け落ちないようにすることができる。また、枠体形状は従来と同様であり、図9に示すように、下側封止片と当接する部分であるフランジ54fが、下側封止片と当接する延長屈曲片54bの水平部分54dより長いので、この水平部分54dに合った長さに形成しておくほうが、止水性の面からも好適である。   In this case, the end surface sealing member may be formed such that the lower sealing piece is longer than the upper sealing piece. The lower sealing piece is a part that contacts the back side of the solar cell module main body and does not hinder the light reception of the solar cells, so there is no problem even if it protrudes from the frame. By lengthening the lower sealing piece in this manner, the end surface sealing member can be prevented from easily falling off from the solar cell module body. Further, the shape of the frame is the same as in the prior art, and as shown in FIG. 9, the flange 54f that is in contact with the lower sealing piece is a horizontal portion 54d of the extended bent piece 54b that is in contact with the lower sealing piece. Since it is longer, it is preferable to form it in a length suitable for the horizontal portion 54d from the viewpoint of water blocking.

また、上側封止片と下側封止片の対向面にはそれぞれ突起部が形成されている。この突起部は、具体的には、太陽電池モジュール本体の周端部に沿って平行に形成された1条または複数条のリブ片となっている。このような突起部を形成することで、太陽電池モジュール本体の周端部に封止部材を嵌め込んだ状態で、この封止部材部分を枠体の溝部に嵌め込んだとき、枠体の溝部によって封止部材が圧接され、突起部が太陽電池モジュール本体の表面側と裏面側とに押し潰されるようにして密着されるため、太陽電池モジュール本体の端面を確実に封止することができる。   Moreover, the protrusion part is formed in the opposing surface of an upper side sealing piece and a lower side sealing piece, respectively. Specifically, this protrusion is a single or multiple rib piece formed in parallel along the peripheral edge of the solar cell module body. By forming such a protruding portion, when the sealing member is fitted in the groove of the frame body in a state where the sealing member is fitted in the peripheral end portion of the solar cell module body, the groove portion of the frame body As a result, the sealing member is pressed into contact with each other, and the protrusions are brought into close contact with the front surface side and the back surface side of the solar cell module main body, so that the end surface of the solar cell module main body can be reliably sealed.

この場合、上側封止片及び下側封止片の先端部を、凹部側に傾斜して設けておいてもよい。このように傾斜して設けておくと、上側封止片及び下側封止片の先端部も太陽電池モジュール本体の表面側と裏面側とに押し付けられて密着されるため、突起部との相乗効果により、太陽電池モジュール本体の端面をより確実に封止することができる。   In this case, you may provide the front-end | tip part of an upper side sealing piece and a lower side sealing piece inclining to the recessed part side. Since the tip of the upper sealing piece and the lower sealing piece is also pressed and brought into close contact with the front surface side and the back surface side of the solar cell module main body, the synergistic effect with the projecting portion is provided. Due to the effect, the end face of the solar cell module body can be more reliably sealed.

なお、このような封止構造は、表面側である受光面ガラス上に、エチレンビニルアセテートからなる受光面側封止用樹脂層、太陽電池セル、エチレンビニルアセテートからなる裏面側封止用樹脂層、裏面側封止耐候性フィルムの順に積層され、一体化ラミネート加工されたスーパーストレート構造の太陽電池モジュール本体に適用した場合に、より効果が得られる。ただし、スーパーストレート構造のものに限るものではなく、例えば、表裏両面がガラスで形成されている採光型の太陽電池モジュールにも適用可能である。   In addition, such a sealing structure includes a light-receiving surface side sealing resin layer made of ethylene vinyl acetate, a solar battery cell, and a back surface side sealing resin layer made of ethylene vinyl acetate on the light-receiving surface glass on the front side. When applied to a solar cell module body having a super straight structure, which is laminated in the order of the back side sealed weathering film and integrally laminated, the effect is further obtained. However, the solar cell module is not limited to the super straight structure, and can be applied to, for example, a daylighting solar cell module in which both front and back surfaces are made of glass.

ここで、端面封止部材の材質としては、ポリプロピレン系またはポリスチレン系のエラストマー樹脂が好適であり、より具体的には、ポリプロピレン系エラストマー樹脂として例えばPP−EPDM(ポリプロピレン−エチレン・プロピレン・ジエン共重合系合成ゴム)の共重合体、ポリスチレン系エラストマー樹脂として例えばポリスチレン−イソプレンの共重合体がより好適である。   Here, as the material of the end face sealing member, a polypropylene-based or polystyrene-based elastomer resin is suitable, and more specifically, as the polypropylene-based elastomer resin, for example, PP-EPDM (polypropylene-ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer). For example, a polystyrene-isoprene copolymer is more preferable as a copolymer of a synthetic rubber) and a polystyrene-based elastomer resin.

また、これらエラストマー樹脂には、封止用樹脂層の黄変を防止する多孔質構造の添加物が含まれていることが好ましい。より具体的には、添加物として珪酸マグネシウムが含まれていることが好ましい。このように、珪酸マグネシウムを初めとする多孔質構造の添加物をエラストマー樹脂に含ませることにより、エラストマー中に含まれる低分子オイルによる色移りや、硫黄等の微量含有無機物によるエチレンビニルアセテート(EVA)黄変を吸収効果により防止し、その結果、太陽電池モジュール本体の周縁部の黄変を防止することができる。   These elastomer resins preferably contain an additive having a porous structure that prevents yellowing of the sealing resin layer. More specifically, it is preferable that magnesium silicate is contained as an additive. In this way, by adding an additive having a porous structure such as magnesium silicate to the elastomer resin, color transfer due to low molecular oil contained in the elastomer, or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) due to a small amount of inorganic substances such as sulfur. ) Yellowing can be prevented by the absorption effect, and as a result, yellowing of the peripheral portion of the solar cell module body can be prevented.

さらに、添加物として紫外線防止剤(例えばヒンダードアミン)を含ませておけば、紫外線による劣化も防止できる。   Furthermore, if an ultraviolet ray inhibitor (for example, hindered amine) is included as an additive, deterioration due to ultraviolet rays can be prevented.

以上説明したように、本発明では、太陽電池モジュール本体が枠体に嵌め込まれた構造の太陽電池モジュールを前提としている。そして、太陽電池モジュール本体の外形に沿って形成された枠形状の端面封止部材を用意し、この端面封止部材を太陽電池モジュール本体の端部全周に渡って嵌め込んだ状態で枠体に嵌め込む構造としている。このように、枠形状に形成された一体型の端面封止部材を太陽電池モジュール本体の端部全周に渡って嵌め込む構造としたので、太陽電池モジュール本体を確実に封止することができ、水の進入を確実に防ぐことができる。また、断面コ字状またはU字状の端面封止部材を太陽電池モジュール本体に嵌め込んだ状態で枠体に嵌め込むので、枠体に嵌め込む際に端面封止部材がずれるといった心配もなく、また嵌め込み作業性も向上する。   As described above, the present invention is premised on the solar cell module having a structure in which the solar cell module main body is fitted in the frame. Then, a frame-shaped end face sealing member formed along the outer shape of the solar cell module body is prepared, and the end face sealing member is fitted over the entire periphery of the end portion of the solar cell module body. It has a structure that fits in. As described above, since the integrated end surface sealing member formed in the frame shape is fitted over the entire periphery of the end portion of the solar cell module body, the solar cell module body can be reliably sealed. It is possible to reliably prevent water from entering. Further, since the end face sealing member having a U-shaped cross section or U shape is fitted into the frame body while being fitted into the solar cell module body, there is no concern that the end face sealing member may be displaced when fitted into the frame body. In addition, fitting workability is also improved.

また、端面封止部材の下側封止片を上側封止片よりも長く形成することにより、端面封止部材が太陽電池モジュール本体から容易に抜け落ちないようにすることができるとともに、太陽電池モジュール本体の裏面側の止水性も向上する。   Further, by forming the lower sealing piece of the end surface sealing member longer than the upper sealing piece, the end surface sealing member can be prevented from easily falling off from the solar cell module body, and the solar cell module The water-stopping property on the back side of the main body is also improved.

また、上側封止片と下側封止片の対向面に突起部を形成することにより、この端面封止部材を枠体の溝部に嵌め込んだとき、枠体の溝部によって端面封止部材が圧接され、突起部が太陽電池モジュール本体の表面側と裏面側とに押し潰されるようにして密着されるため、太陽電池モジュール本体の端面を確実に封止することができる。さらに、上側封止片及び下側封止片の先端部を、凹部側に傾斜して設けておくことにより、上側封止片及び下側封止片の先端部も太陽電池モジュール本体の表面側と裏面側とに押し付けられて密着されるため、突起部との相乗効果により、太陽電池モジュール本体の端面をより確実に封止することができる。   Further, by forming a protrusion on the opposing surface of the upper sealing piece and the lower sealing piece, when the end surface sealing member is fitted into the groove portion of the frame body, the end surface sealing member is formed by the groove portion of the frame body. Since the projecting portion is pressed and brought into close contact with the front surface side and the back surface side of the solar cell module body, the end surface of the solar cell module body can be reliably sealed. Furthermore, by providing the tip portions of the upper sealing piece and the lower sealing piece so as to be inclined toward the concave portion, the tip portions of the upper sealing piece and the lower sealing piece are also on the surface side of the solar cell module body. Because of the synergistic effect with the protrusions, the end surface of the solar cell module body can be more reliably sealed.

また、端面封止部材の材質として、ポリプロピレン系またはポリスチレン系のエラストマー樹脂、より具体的には、PP−EPDMの共重合体またはポリスチレン−イソプレンの共重合体を用いている。また、これらエラストマー樹脂には、封止用樹脂層の黄変を防止する多孔質構造の添加物として、珪酸マグネシウムが含まれている。このように、珪酸マグネシウムを初めとする多孔質構造の添加物をエラストマー樹脂に含ませることにより、EVAに含まれる硫黄分が吸収され、その結果、太陽電池モジュール本体の周縁部の黄変を防止することができる。さらに、添加物として紫外線防止剤を含ませておけば、紫外線による劣化も防止できる。   Further, as the material of the end face sealing member, a polypropylene-based or polystyrene-based elastomer resin, more specifically, a PP-EPDM copolymer or a polystyrene-isoprene copolymer is used. In addition, these elastomer resins contain magnesium silicate as an additive having a porous structure that prevents yellowing of the sealing resin layer. In this way, by adding an additive having a porous structure such as magnesium silicate to the elastomer resin, sulfur contained in EVA is absorbed, and as a result, yellowing of the peripheral portion of the solar cell module body is prevented. can do. Furthermore, if an ultraviolet ray inhibitor is contained as an additive, deterioration due to ultraviolet rays can be prevented.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照して説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[実施の形態1]
図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係わる端面封止部材1の全体斜視図、図2は図1のD−D線断面図である。なお、本実施の形態1では、太陽電池モジュール本体については、図7に示すスーパーストレート構造の太陽電池モジュール本体4を使用し、枠体については、図9に示す構造の枠体5を使用して、以下の説明を行うものとする。
[Embodiment 1]
1 is an overall perspective view of an end surface sealing member 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. In the first embodiment, a solar cell module body 4 having a super straight structure shown in FIG. 7 is used for the solar cell module body, and a frame body 5 having a structure shown in FIG. 9 is used for the frame body. The following explanation will be given.

この端面封止部材1は、図6に示す太陽電池モジュール本体4の外形に沿って形成された枠形状となっており、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45(図7参照)全周に渡って嵌め込まれた状態で、枠体5の各フレーム51,52,53,54に嵌め込まれる。   This end surface sealing member 1 has a frame shape formed along the outer shape of the solar cell module main body 4 shown in FIG. 6, and extends over the entire periphery of the end 45 (see FIG. 7) of the solar cell module main body 4. In this state, the frame 5 is fitted into the frames 51, 52, 53, 54.

この端面封止部材1は、図2に示すように断面略コ字状または断面略U字状に形成されており、太陽電池モジュール本体4の表面側である受光面ガラス41に当接する上側封止片11と、太陽電池モジュール本体4の裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に当接する下側封止片12と、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端面45a(図7参照)に当接する横側封止片13とで構成されている。これら上側封止片11、下側封止片12及び横側封止片13によって、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45に嵌め込む凹溝部14が形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the end surface sealing member 1 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section or a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is an upper seal that abuts on the light receiving surface glass 41 that is the surface side of the solar cell module body 4. Stop piece 11, lower sealing piece 12 in contact with back side sealing weather resistant film 44 of solar cell module body 4, and lateral side sealing in contact with end face 45a (see FIG. 7) of solar cell module body 4 It consists of a piece 13. The upper sealing piece 11, the lower sealing piece 12, and the lateral sealing piece 13 form a concave groove portion 14 that fits into the end 45 of the solar cell module body 4.

また、上側封止片11及び下側封止片12は、横側封止片13の各端部13a,13aから若干両外側に開いて設けられており、各先端部11a,12aは、互いの方向、すなわち凹溝部14側に向かって傾斜するように屈曲形成されている。この両先端部11a,12aの間隔Tは、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45の厚みとほぼ同じかそれよりも若干狭くなるように形成されている。また、横側封止片13の各端部13a,13aは、枠体5への嵌め込みを容易とするために、湾曲状に形成されている。ただし、図2中に破線で示すように、斜めにカットしたテーパ面13b,13bとしてもよい。   Further, the upper sealing piece 11 and the lower sealing piece 12 are provided to be opened slightly outward from the respective end portions 13a, 13a of the lateral sealing piece 13, and the respective leading end portions 11a, 12a are mutually connected. In other words, it is bent so as to incline toward the concave groove portion 14 side. The distance T between the two end portions 11a, 12a is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly narrower than the thickness of the end portion 45 of the solar cell module body 4. Further, the end portions 13 a and 13 a of the lateral sealing piece 13 are formed in a curved shape in order to facilitate fitting into the frame body 5. However, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, tapered surfaces 13b and 13b cut obliquely may be used.

このように形成された上側封止片11と下側封止片12との対向面には、それぞれ突起部11b,12bが形成されている。この突起部11a,12aは、太陽電池モジュール本体4の周端部(端辺)に沿って平行に、すなわち、凹溝部14の長手方向に沿って平行に形成された1条または複数条(本実施の形態1では2条形成されている)のリブ片形状となっている。   Protrusions 11b and 12b are formed on the opposing surfaces of the upper sealing piece 11 and the lower sealing piece 12 thus formed, respectively. The protrusions 11a and 12a are formed in parallel with the peripheral end portion (end side) of the solar cell module body 4, that is, with one or a plurality of strips (in parallel) formed in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the concave groove portion 14. In Embodiment 1, two ribs are formed).

図3(a)は、上記構成の端面封止部材1を太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45に嵌め込んだ状態を示している。   FIG. 3A shows a state in which the end surface sealing member 1 having the above configuration is fitted into the end 45 of the solar cell module body 4.

この状態では、突起部11a,12aは、太陽電池モジュール本体4の受光面ガラス41及び裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に当接するかしないかの状態となっているが、上側封止片11及び下側封止片12の各先端部11a,12aは、太陽電池モジュール本体4の受光面ガラス41及び裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に若干圧接した状態で接しており、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45を保持する力を有している。これにより、端面封止部材1が太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45から簡単に抜け外れる心配はない。   In this state, the protrusions 11a and 12a are in contact with the light-receiving surface glass 41 and the back-side sealing weather-resistant film 44 of the solar cell module body 4, but the upper sealing piece 11 and The respective front end portions 11 a and 12 a of the lower sealing piece 12 are in contact with the light receiving surface glass 41 and the back side sealing weather-resistant film 44 of the solar cell module body 4 in a state where they are slightly in pressure contact with each other. It has a force to hold the end 45. Thereby, there is no fear that the end surface sealing member 1 is easily detached from the end portion 45 of the solar cell module body 4.

この状態で太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45を枠体5の溝部54eに嵌め込むと、図3(b)に示すように、溝部54eの内面に沿って端面封止部材1が変形し、上側封止片11及び下側封止片12の各突起部11b,12b(図示省略)及び各先端部11a,12aが押し潰されて太陽電池モジュール本体4の受光面ガラス41及び裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に密着する。またこのとき、端面封止部材1の横側封止片13も太陽電池モジュール本体4の端面45aに密着し、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端面45aが完全に封止されることになる。   In this state, when the end 45 of the solar cell module body 4 is fitted into the groove 54e of the frame 5, the end surface sealing member 1 is deformed along the inner surface of the groove 54e as shown in FIG. The protrusions 11b and 12b (not shown) and the tip portions 11a and 12a of the upper sealing piece 11 and the lower sealing piece 12 are crushed to receive the light receiving surface glass 41 and the back side sealing of the solar cell module body 4. It adheres to the weather resistant film 44. At this time, the side sealing piece 13 of the end surface sealing member 1 is also in close contact with the end surface 45a of the solar cell module body 4, and the end surface 45a of the solar cell module body 4 is completely sealed.

[実施の形態2]
図4は、本発明の実施の形態2に係る端面封止部材1Aの断面図である。
[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of end face sealing member 1A according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

本実施の形態2の端面封止部材1Aと上記実施の形態1の端面封止部材1との違いは、太陽電池モジュール本体4の裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に当接する下側封止片12Aが、太陽電池モジュール本体4の受光面ガラス41に当接する上側封止片11より長く形成されている点であり、その他の構成は、上記実施の形態1の端面封止部材1と同様である。従って、実施の形態1の端面封止部材1の構成部分と同じ構成部分には同符号を付すこととし、詳細な説明は省略する。   The difference between the end surface sealing member 1A of the second embodiment and the end surface sealing member 1 of the first embodiment is that the lower sealing piece that abuts against the back surface side weathering film 44 of the solar cell module body 4 12A is longer than the upper sealing piece 11 in contact with the light receiving surface glass 41 of the solar cell module body 4, and the other configuration is the same as that of the end surface sealing member 1 of the first embodiment. is there. Accordingly, the same components as those of the end surface sealing member 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

このように、下側封止片12Aを上側封止片11より長く形成したのは、図9に示すように、フレーム本体54aの上面54cの内側端にフランジ54fを設けており、このフランジ54f分だけ、延長屈曲片54bの水平部分54dより長くなっているからである。そのため、下側封止片12Aの長さは、上面54cの基端部(延長屈曲片54bとの接合部分)からフランジ54fの先端までの長さにほぼ合致した長さに形成されている。   The reason why the lower sealing piece 12A is formed longer than the upper sealing piece 11 is that the flange 54f is provided at the inner end of the upper surface 54c of the frame main body 54a, as shown in FIG. This is because the length is longer than the horizontal portion 54d of the extended bent piece 54b. Therefore, the length of the lower sealing piece 12A is formed so as to substantially match the length from the base end portion (joined portion with the extended bent piece 54b) of the upper surface 54c to the tip of the flange 54f.

図5は、上記構成の端面封止部材1Aを太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45に嵌め込んだ状態で、さらに枠体5に嵌め込んだ状態を示している。   FIG. 5 shows a state in which the end surface sealing member 1 </ b> A having the above configuration is fitted into the end portion 45 of the solar cell module body 4 and is further fitted into the frame body 5.

この状態では、枠体5の溝部54eの内面に沿って端面封止部材1が変形し、上側封止片11及び下側封止片12Aの各突起部11b,12b(図示省略)及び各先端部11a,12aが押し潰されて太陽電池モジュール本体4の受光面ガラス41及び裏面側封止耐候性フィルム44に密着する。この場合、下側封止片12Aが、溝部54eの上面54c及びフランジ54fのほぼ全体に渡って密着するため、太陽電池モジュール本体4の裏面側の止水性が向上する。またこのとき、端面封止部材1の横側封止片13も太陽電池モジュール本体4の端面45aに密着し、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端面45aが完全に封止されることになる。   In this state, the end surface sealing member 1 is deformed along the inner surface of the groove portion 54e of the frame body 5, and the protrusions 11b and 12b (not shown) and the tips of the upper sealing piece 11 and the lower sealing piece 12A. The portions 11a and 12a are crushed and are in close contact with the light-receiving surface glass 41 and the back-side sealed weathering film 44 of the solar cell module body 4. In this case, since the lower sealing piece 12A is in close contact with substantially the entire upper surface 54c and flange 54f of the groove 54e, the water stoppage on the back surface side of the solar cell module body 4 is improved. At this time, the side sealing piece 13 of the end surface sealing member 1 is also in close contact with the end surface 45a of the solar cell module body 4, and the end surface 45a of the solar cell module body 4 is completely sealed.

なお、スーパーストレート構造の太陽電池モジュール本体4は、図7に示すように、表面側の受光面ガラス41に対し、裏面側が薄い封止耐候性フィルム44であるため、一体化ラミネート加工を行うと、裏面側が強く引っ張られて若干傾斜することになる。そのため、本実施の形態2のように下側封止片12Aを長くしておくと、このような傾斜に対してもあまり影響されることなく、端面封止部材1Aを太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部45に確実に嵌め込むことができるといった利点もある。逆に言えば、太陽電池モジュール本体4からの抜け防止の効果もある。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the solar cell module body 4 having a super straight structure is a sealed weathering film 44 whose back side is thin with respect to the light receiving surface glass 41 on the front side. The back side is strongly pulled and tilted slightly. Therefore, if the lower sealing piece 12A is made long as in the second embodiment, the end surface sealing member 1A is attached to the solar cell module main body 4 without being significantly affected by such an inclination. There is also an advantage that the end portion 45 can be securely fitted. In other words, there is an effect of preventing the solar cell module body 4 from coming off.

次に、上記実施の形態1の端面封止部材1及び実施の形態2の端面封止部材1Aの材質について説明する。   Next, the materials of the end surface sealing member 1 of the first embodiment and the end surface sealing member 1A of the second embodiment will be described.

端面封止部材1,1Aの材質としては、ポリプロピレン系またはポリスチレン系のエラストマー樹脂が好適である。より具体的には、ポリプロピレン系エラストマー樹脂として、例えばPP−EPDM(ポリプロピレン−エチレン・プロピレン・ジエン共重合系合成ゴム)の共重合体、ポリスチレン系エラストマー樹脂として、例えばポリスチレン−イソプレンの共重合体がより好適である。   As the material of the end face sealing members 1 and 1A, a polypropylene-based or polystyrene-based elastomer resin is suitable. More specifically, for example, PP-EPDM (polypropylene-ethylene / propylene / diene copolymer synthetic rubber) copolymer is used as the polypropylene elastomer resin, and polystyrene-isoprene copolymer is used as the polystyrene elastomer resin. More preferred.

ポリプロピレン系及びポリスチレン系のエラストマー樹脂は、低比重による軽量化、生産性及びリサイクル性、着色意匠性、耐候性(長期物性保存)、シール性、耐熱老化性、低温柔軟性(−40℃)、押出寸法品安定性、押出品設計断面柔軟性、熱溶着性、などの特徴を有している。そのため、硫化ゴムのような複雑な工程を必要とせず、一般のプラスチックと同様に簡単に押出成形できるので、本願の太陽電池モジュール本体の封止部材として用いる場合のように、精密な断面形状が要求される場合に好適な材料である。   Polypropylene-based and polystyrene-based elastomer resins are light weighted by low specific gravity, productivity and recyclability, coloring design, weather resistance (long-term physical property storage), sealing properties, heat aging resistance, low temperature flexibility (−40 ° C.), It has features such as extrusion dimension stability, extrudate design cross section flexibility, and heat weldability. Therefore, it does not require a complicated process such as sulfurized rubber, and can be easily extruded as in the case of general plastics, so that it has a precise cross-sectional shape as used as a sealing member for the solar cell module body of the present application. It is a suitable material when required.

一方、従来の太陽電池モジュールでは、時間経過とともに太陽電池モジュール本体の周端部が黄色く変色するといった現象が発生していたため、本発明では、今回、合わせてこれらの改善も図るべく、これらエラストマー樹脂に、封止用樹脂(EVA)層の黄変を防止する多孔質構造の添加物を含ませている。具体的には、添加物として珪酸マグネシウムを含ませている。このように、珪酸マグネシウムを初めとする多孔質構造の添加物をエラストマー樹脂に含ませることにより、太陽電池モジュール本体の封止用樹脂(EVA)に含まれる硫黄分が吸収され、その結果、太陽電池モジュール本体の周端部の黄変を防止することができる。   On the other hand, in the conventional solar cell module, the phenomenon that the peripheral end portion of the solar cell module main body turns yellow with the lapse of time has occurred. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to improve these together, these elastomer resins are used. In addition, an additive having a porous structure for preventing yellowing of the sealing resin (EVA) layer is included. Specifically, magnesium silicate is included as an additive. In this way, by adding an additive having a porous structure such as magnesium silicate to the elastomer resin, the sulfur content contained in the sealing resin (EVA) of the solar cell module body is absorbed. Yellowing of the peripheral end portion of the battery module main body can be prevented.

なお、本発明者らは、太陽電池モジュール本体の周縁部の黄変の有無を確認すべく、PP−EPDMに珪酸マグネシウムを1〜1.5%程度含有させた端面封止部材1,1Aを作成し、この作成した端面封止部材1,1Aを、EVA封止樹脂を用いた太陽電池モジュール本体4に嵌め込んだ状態で、JISC8917による高温高湿保存試験を行った。その結果、湿度85%で1000時間経過しても、太陽電池モジュール本体4の端部54のEVA封止樹脂に黄変は見られなかった。   In addition, in order to confirm the presence or absence of yellowing of the peripheral part of a solar cell module main body, the present inventors include end face sealing members 1 and 1A containing about 1 to 1.5% magnesium silicate in PP-EPDM. The end face sealing members 1 and 1A thus prepared were subjected to a high-temperature and high-humidity storage test according to JISC8917 in a state where the end-face sealing members 1 and 1A were fitted in the solar cell module body 4 using EVA sealing resin. As a result, no yellowing was observed in the EVA sealing resin at the end 54 of the solar cell module body 4 even after 1000 hours at a humidity of 85%.

また、珪酸マグネシウムに加え、添加物として紫外線防止剤(例えばヒンダードアミン)も含ませておけば、紫外線による劣化も防止できる。   In addition to magnesium silicate, if an ultraviolet ray inhibitor (for example, hindered amine) is included as an additive, deterioration due to ultraviolet rays can also be prevented.
