Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011042625A2] The invention relates to a photovoltaic cover to be built into a business or residential building or into various shelters, said photovoltaic cover including: photovoltaic modules (1); a structure (2) supporting said modules, to be attached to the sides of a roof structure, cables, and connecting sets. The cover according to the invention is essentially characterized in that it is created by means of the sideways juxtaposition of factory-prefabricated, factory-wired subassemblies that are each designed from a metal structure (2) consisting of longitudinal profile sections (21) suitable for maintaining a number of photovoltaic modules (1) that make it possible to cover the length of the roofing side to be fitted, said roofing side covering a width including a precisely predetermined number of said modules. Metal sheets (215) define, with the bottom of the photovoltaic modules (1), an air gap (216) for cooling said modules, and a heat-insulating material (218) takes up the space between said metal sheets (215) and flat profile sections (219) that are also rigidly connected to said longitudinal profile sections (21, 23).
