Abstract

An inverted roof is a flat roof constructed as a non-ventilated warm roof. In the case of an inverted roof, the thermal insulation is exposed to moisture above the sealing plane. To protect the insulating plane from UV radiation, a gravel surfacing, a green roof or concrete panels are applied to the insulation. The sealing plane lies in a temperature zone with slight thermal fluctuations that remains constant over the year. Connecting the sealing plane over the whole area thereof to the roof substrate prevents water from seeping in behind. The inverted roof according to the invention comprises an openable solar panel mounting directed away from the insulating panel and a ballasting material in the gap between the insulating panels and the solar panels within the solar modules. They are laid out on the roof substrate, the upwardly openable solar panels are detached and the ballasting material is introduced directly into the interior of the solar module. The solar module is in a completely finished state and already has an insulating panel. A solar inverted roof with insulation and internal ballasting can be produced simply and reliably without adversely affecting the watertight roof skin in any way.

Abstract

Known framless solar modules are screwed directly into a substrate by means of a module rail that is glued from below such that individual solar modules can not be removed, or are secured by point-loaded clamping plates that effect the optical overall impression. According to the claimed photovoltaic unit, each module rail (03) is coupled to a substrate rail (06) that is detachably connected to the substrate (05). Initially, a lateral displacement is no longer possible. Module and substrate rails (03/06) have principally the same profile. At least one connecting element (15) engages in lateral guide rails (12) on module and substrate rails (03/06) such that the solar modules (02) can not be lifted by wind forces. Said connection element can be embodied, preferably, as a slide (19) that can be displaced and operated on the module and substrate rail (03/06) by a sufficiently wide running joint (01) between the solar modules (02). In order to remove a solar module (02) from the matrix, the slides (19) are displaced in a captive manner below adjacent solar modules (02). Said type of securing does not effect the aesthetic overall impression of a photovoltaic unit (00) comprising frameless solar modules (02) and is particularly easy to mount.
