Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008052816A1] A modular photovoltaic element for building roofs comprising: - a lower hollow structural part (4) of plastic material, - an upper convex cover element (6) of material transparent to sunlight and fixed to said hollow part, - at least one photovoltaic cell (8) mounted on a support (20) and housed in a cavity defined by said hollow part (4) and said convex cover element (6), - cabling (36, 38) associated with said photovoltaic cell (8), - provided in said hollow part (4), a compartment (32) which is separate from the cavity housing said photovoltaic cell (8), and which houses means (34) for electrical connection to the adjacent modular element of the same row, partially superposed to cover said compartment (32), - connection cables (36, 38) joined to watertight connectors (34, 30) positioned on the surmounting portions of adjacent hollow pats (4) of one and the same row, said connectors being connected to said photovoltaic cell (8) and to said integrated circuit (40), - means (24, 26) for mechanically connecting said cover element (6) to said hollow part (4), - means (42, 44) for mechanically connecting said hollow part (4) to the hollow part of adjacent elements of the same row, - a member (2) for mechanically connecting said hollow part (4) to the underlying roof structure.
