Abstract

A fixing member (3, 40, 43, 50, 53) which fixes a first frame body (1) of a solar battery module main body (9) slides along the first frame body, and the solar battery module main body includes a connecting portion (10) and a to-be connected portion (11) which connects the first frame bodies which are adjacent to each other through the fixing member. With this, a position of the fixing member can freely be moved with respect to the first frame body, the fixing member is slid to a position where there is a structure member (32) which supports a roofboard at predetermined intervals, and the fixing member is mounted at that position. With this, the fixing member can be mounted more strongly, and the adjacent two first frame bodies (31) can be fixed by the fixing member.

Claims

1. A solar battery module frame body comprising a polygonal solar battery panel main body, first frame bodies each supporting a side extending in a predetermined direction of the solar battery panel main body, a fixing member which slides along the first frame body and which is fixed to a predetermined support member, and connecting means which connects the first frame bodies which are adjacent to each other through the fixing member.

2. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, further comprising movement-restricting means which restricts a relative movement between the first frame body and the fixing member in a direction perpendicular to a sliding direction of the fixing member.

3. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, wherein the connecting means connects such that cross section shapes of the first frame bodies which are adjacent to each other are symmetric to each other.

4. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 2, wherein the connecting means connects such that cross section shapes of the first frame bodies which are adjacent to each other are symmetric to each other.

5. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, wherein the connecting means comprises a connecting portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be connected portion formed on the fixing member.

6. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 2, wherein the connecting means comprises a connecting portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be connected portion formed on the fixing member.

7. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 3, wherein the connecting means comprises a connecting portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be connected portion formed on the fixing member.

8. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 4, wherein the connecting means comprises a connecting portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be connected portion formed on the fixing member.

9. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

10. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 2, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

11. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 3, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

12. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 4, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

13. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 5, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

14. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 6, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

15. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 7, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

16. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 8, wherein the movement-restricting means comprises an engaging portion formed on the first frame body, and a to-be engaged portion formed on the fixing member.

17. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, wherein a height of the fixing member can be adjusted by a height adjusting pedestal.

18. The solar battery module frame body according to claim 1, further comprising a second frame body which supports a side that is different from the side supported by the first frame body of the solar battery module main body.
