Abstract:
1. An installation structure of a solar cell module comprising: a solar cell module including a fixing member fixed to a predetermined structural member included in a roof at a position on a ridge side further than the ridge-side frame of the solar cell module, the fixing member configured to prevent the ridge-side frame from moving towards the ridge side of the roof and in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the solar panel, wherein when a second solar cell module, the solar cell module, and a third solar cell module are defined as being arranged from a ridge side to an eaves side in an order thereof, and when the fixing member and a second fixing member are defined as being arranged from a ridge side to an eaves side in an order thereof, an eaves-side frame of the second solar cell module is positioned above the ridge-side frame of the solar cell module prevented by the fixing member from moving, and is supported by the fixing member in such a fashion that the eaves-side frame of the second solar cell module can be fixed to the fixing member with a fastener by putting the eaves-side frame of the second solar cell module down on the fixing member, while the eaves-side frame of the solar cell module is positioned above a ridge-side frame of the third solar cell module and is prevented by the second fixing member from moving, and is supported by the second fixing member in such a fashion that the eaves-side frame of the solar cell module can be fixed to the second fixing member with a fastener by putting the eaves-side frame of the solar cell module down on the second fixing member, wherein each of the pair of lateral frames of each of the solar cell module, the second solar cell module, and the third solar cell module includes: a locking groove in a predetermined cross-sectional shape, the locking groove being open to an outside flank and extending in a longitudinal direction; and a suspension groove formed on a solar panel side further than the locking groove and on a side below the solar panel, the suspension groove extending in a longitudinal direction, and being open to either one of a side of an outside flank or a side opposite thereto, wherein the installation structure of one solar cell module of the solar cell module, the second solar cell module, and the third solar cell module further comprises: an elastic member in a long shape including a locking part configured to be locked by the locking groove of each of the pair of lateral frames, and an elastic part having the locking part on one flank; and a gutter member in a box shape whose eaves side and upper side are open and are longer than each of the pair of lateral frames locked by the elastic member, the gutter member including a suspension piece configured to be inserted into the suspension groove of at least one of the pair of lateral frames adjacent to an upper part of the gutter member, and wherein in a state where the locking part of the elastic member is locked by the locking groove of each of the pair of lateral frames, and where each of the pair of lateral frames of another solar cell module different from the solar cell module, the second solar cell module, and the third solar cell module abuts a flank of the elastic member opposite to the locking part such that an elastic force acts on the elastic member, the gutter member is supported by the pair of lateral frames with the suspension pieces of the gutter member inserted into the respective suspension grooves of the pair of lateral frames opposite to each other having the elastic member disposed therebetween.
