Modular system with solar roof

摘要

A series of individual modular panels are combined to create a completed structure. Panels for floor, wall and roof are joined at common bearing points. The roof frame is a combination of pyramid and hip shaped units connected to create the structural framework for standard and multi-pitched pyramid and hip-type roofs. The structural framework acts as a single unit and creates both the exterior and interior shape in one assembly. The lower horizontal carriage of the roofs structural framework allows for easy installation of ceiling panels. The upper exterior diagonal and horizontal framework allows for easily installed weather tight roof panels. PV solar panels can be integrated into the roof panels, eliminating the need for additional racking. Lightweight tents as well as heavy commercial applications can benefit from this roof system. Electric supply lines are accommodated for with hollow channels integrated into the structural assembly.

1. Modular system with solar roof comprising:
a modular roof system constructed from a plurality of structural modules; said structural modules having planar sides and one base side; said planar sides having 4 equal-length diagonal members, each having an end point joined together at a common diagonal member junction; said diagonal members being of tubular or rectangular shaped cross section; said base side having 4 horizontal members, each having an end point in common with at least one other base member and at least one said diagonal member joined together at a common junction; said base members being of tubular or L shape.
