Abstract:
1. A securing configuration of a solar cell module comprising: a plurality of supporting members having pairs of plate-like supporting pieces projecting to the upper side, said plurality of supporting members being mounted on roof members at a predetermined interval such that a direction in which the supporting pieces are opposed to each other face to a predetermined direction; a plurality of crosspiece members each of which is inserted between the pairs of supporting pieces of the supporting members, said plurality of crosspiece members being supported by the plurality of supporting members, each of said plurality of crosspiece members having at least first holding portions which hold first fastener members in a slidable manner only in a lengthwise direction on both side faces and a second holding portion which holds a second fastener member in a slidable manner only in the lengthwise direction on an upper face, each of said plurality of crosspiece members being secured to and supported by the supporting members by fastening the first fastener members held by the first holding portions to to-be first fastener members penetrating through the supporting pieces of the supporting members, and said plurality of cross-piece members being arranged on roof members at a predetermined interval in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction; and securing members which secure the solar cell module to each of the upper faces of the plurality of crosspiece members through the second fastener members held by the second holding portions of the crosspiece members, such that two sides of the solar cell module, which are opposed to each other, intersect the plurality of crosspiece members, wherein the securing members include: spacer members which make contact with a side face of the solar cell module, the spacer members are installed on the upper faces of the crosspiece members, the spacer members have openings through which the second fastener members are inserted, and the spacer members have an upside down U shape in cross-sectional view, with the vertical part of the U shape being formed to be lower in height than the solar cell module and contacting the side face of the solar cell module; pressing force members which are arranged at an upper side of the spacer members, the pressing force members have openings through which the second fastener members are inserted, and the pressing force members contact portions which are capable of making contact with an upper face of the solar cell module; and first and second to-be second fastener members fastened to the second fastener members held by the second holding portions of the crosspiece members through the openings of the spacer portions and the openings of the pressing force members so that the solar cell module is pressurized against the crosspiece members by the pressing force members and secured to the crosspiece members, the first to-be second fastener member being fastened to at least one of the second fastener members and securing at least one of the spacer members to at least one of the crosspiece members, and the second to-be second fastener member being fastened to the same at least one of the second fastener members and securing at least one of the pressing force members to the same at least one of the second fastener members.
