Advanced Frame Design for Roof-Integrated Solar Panels

摘要

The roof-integrated solar panel of the disclosure comprises a mounting frame having a top side for facing away from a roof, a bottom side for facing toward the roof, an upper side for facing an upslope direction, a lower side for facing a downslope direction, a left side and a right side, a solar panel mounted within the mounting frame, and a plurality of nose vents in the lower side of the mounting frame, a plurality of flow-through vents in the upper side of the mounting frame, and a plurality of exhaust vents in the top side of the mounting frame at an upper edge of the upper side wherein air is drawn up through the nose vents and out through the exhaust vents to cool the solar panel.

主权项

1. A roof-integrated solar panel comprising:
a mounting frame having a top side for facing away from a structure, a bottom side for facing toward a structure, an upper side for facing the upslope direction, a lower side for facing a downslope direction, a left side and a right side; a solar panel mounted within said mounting frame; and a plurality of nose vents in said lower side of said mounting frame, a plurality of flow-through vents in said upper side of said mounting frame, and a plurality of exhaust vents in said top side of said mounting frame at an upper edge of said upper side wherein air is drawn up through said nose vents, flows under said solar panel and contacting said solar panel, thereby cooling said solar panel, and out through said flow-through vents and through said exhaust vents.
