Brian J. Flaherty - Alamo CA, US
Timothy M. Davey - Newport Beach CA, US

Assignee:

Lumeta, Inc. - Irvine CA

International Classification:

E04D 13/18
E04B 1/00
H01L 31/042

US Classification:

521733, 527481, 136244

Abstract:

A roofing module provides weather protection generates electrical power. The module comprises a base having a plurality of curved crests and curved pans. The crests and pans have contours sized and shaped to match the size and shape of the contours and pans of conventional clay or concrete S-tiles to enable the base to interlock with the conventional clay or concrete S-tiles. The base is made from lightweight plastic material. Each crest of the base includes a depressed portion. A photovoltaic panel is positioned in the depressed portions of at least two curved crests and span across at least one curved pan between the at least two curved crests.

Abstract:

A photovoltaic module generates electrical power when installed on a roof. The module is constructed as a laminated sandwich having a transparent protective upper layer adhered to a photovoltaic layer. The photovoltaic layer is adhered to a rigid layer formed from a composite panel of fiber reinforced plastic and a metallic layer. The laminated sandwich has a plastic-clad aluminum frame around the perimeter. The laminated sandwich is coated with a moisture resisting coating. The laminated panel has a layer of double stick tape on the bottom to adhere the panel to the surface of a roof.

Abstract:

A photovoltaic module generates electrical power when installed on a roof. The module is constructed as a laminated sandwich having a transparent protective upper layer adhered to a photovoltaic layer. The photovoltaic layer is adhered to the top of a rigid layer, preferably formed from a fiber reinforced plastic. A wire support tray assembly is affixed to an edge of the photovoltaic module, the wire support tray assembly includes a base portion and a cover portion. The base portion has at least one base portion flange configured to lock with least one corresponding cover portion flange. The base portion has a longitudinally-extending slot configured to couple with the edge of the photovoltaic module. Preferably the wire tray assembly holds the module wiring and occludes it from view. Preferably, the cover portion is concave to shelter the wiring from inclement weather.
