Patent number: 11004992Abstract: The invention relates to a rear face element for a solar module, said element being made of a material sheet that is shaped, in particular embossed and/or stamped. Some sections of the material sheet are arranged on a first plane, and some sections are arranged on at least one second plane parallel to the first plane. The material sheet forms spacer elements in a transition region between the first and the second plane in order to space the first plane from the second plane, and at least one first material sheet section extends from a first lateral edge to an opposing second lateral edge of the material sheet continuously, in particular in a linear manner. The invention also relates to a solar module and to a method for producing a solar module.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: MATRIX MODULE GMBHInventors: Henning Busse, Maximilian Scherff

Publication number: 20180212556Abstract: A solar module having a laminate with two lateral edges, an upper edge and a lower edge. A frame profile extended along a direction of extension is secured on at least one of the lateral and/or upper and/or lower edges of the laminate. The frame profile has in cross-section an outer edge and a U-shaped receiving section with upper and lower U-shaped limbs for receiving one of the laminate edges, and is integrally constructed from a metal strip, which forms the outer edge of the frame profile with an edge plane. The upper U-shaped limb is configured as an upturn of the entire metal strip from the edge plane, and the lower U-shaped limb is configured as metal support sections adjacent in the direction of extension and spaced apart from one another, which metal support sections are bent away from the edge plane as integral parts of the metal strip.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2016Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Frank WEGERT, Dirk SACHSE, Henning BUSSE

Publication number: 20160233823Abstract: A solar-module frame profile for framing a solar-module laminate. The solar-module frame profile has a frame groove formed from a front-side leg and a rear-side leg and a frame-groove crosspiece which spaces apart the front-side leg and the rear-side leg and from which the legs extend away laterally, forming the frame groove along an opening direction. The front-side leg has a front-side-leg end portion, which is spaced apart from the crosspiece, and a front-side-leg extent portion arranged between the frame-groove crosspiece and the end portion, and defines a front-side-adhesive-bonding plane for bonding the solar-module frame profile to the solar-module-laminate front side. The end portion projects out of the plane in the direction of the rear-side leg by an adhesive-bonding extent. The front-side leg has formed in it an adhesive cavity for accommodating adhesive beyond the adhesive-bonding extent, and/or the end portion has formed in it an adhesive cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2016Publication date: August 11, 2016Inventors: Heiko MOLITOR, Marc DEWENTER, Thomas EBENROTH, Henning BUSSE
