Patent number: 8316591Abstract: A solar cell module device includes a solar cell module formed by arranging plural solar battery cells; a reinforcing frame arranged on a back surface of the solar cell module; and a buffer material made of a rigid material and arranged between the solar cell module and the reinforcing frame. The buffer material has a size not causing the back surface of the solar cell module to come in contact with the reinforcing frame when the solar cell module is bent relative to a length of the reinforcing frame in a longitudinal direction. Therefore, the reinforcing frame does not bury into the buffer material, moreover, the buffer material does not abrade by coming in contact with the reinforcing frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Miyamoto, Yoshiyuki Suganuma, Naoki Ito, Hiroyoshi Takikawa, Issei Suzuki

Patent number: 8109049Abstract: A solar battery module device includes a solar cell module formed by arranging a plurality of solar battery cells; a rack-shaped frame having a substantially rectangular shape supporting an outer-edge portion of the solar cell module by surrounding a whole periphery of the outer-edge portion; and a reinforcing frame that is bridged over between two opposite sides of the rack-shaped frame by forming a predetermined gap between the reinforcing frame and a back surface of the solar cell module, and supports the solar cell module by being brought into contact with the back surface of the solar cell module when the solar cell module is bent. The reinforcing frame is engaged with engagement notches formed on the back surface of the rack-shaped frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshiyuki Suganuma, Shinsuke Miyamoto, Naoki Ito, Hiroyoshi Takikawa, Issei Suzuki

Patent number: 7694466Abstract: An apparatus for holding a plurality of solar cell units includes a mounting member to be fixed onto a roof, a plurality of fixtures, and a frame member having to-be-sandwiched portions to be sandwiched and fixed between the mounting member and the fixtures, and grooves that support the ends of the plate-shaped solar cell units. The to-be-sandwiched portions of the frame members are positioned inside projection plane regions that project the solar cell units and the grooves immediately below, whereby the distance between adjacent solar cell units reduces.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2004Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shinsuke Miyamoto, Hiroyoshi Takikawa, Naoki Ito, Takeshi Takada, Kouji Shimasaki
