복수의 태양전지모듈을 이용하는 태양광 발전은 신 재생에너지로 널리 보급되고 있으나 태양광의 수광시 온도가 상승하여 발전효율이 저하되는 단점을 갖는다. 이러한 온도상승에 관하여, 일반적으로 온도가 10℃ 상승할 때마다 박막형 태양전지의 경우 2%의 발전효율이 떨어지고 결정질 태양전지의 경우 5%의 발전효율이 저하된다고 보고된다. 또한, 태양전지 모듈의 전면보다 후면의 온도가 발전효율에 미치는 영향이 더 크다.Photovoltaic power generation using a plurality of solar cell modules is widely used as renewable energy, but has a disadvantage in that power generation efficiency is lowered due to an increase in temperature when receiving sunlight. With respect to this temperature rise, it is generally reported that whenever the temperature rises by 10 ° C, the power generation efficiency of the thin film solar cell decreases by 2% and that of the crystalline solar cell decreases by 5%. In addition, the temperature of the rear side of the solar cell module has a greater effect on the power generation efficiency.

위와 같은 발전효율의 저하를 방지하기 위해 제시된 방안으로서, 태양전지모듈의 전면에 스프레이식 살수장치를 설치하거나 태양전지모듈의 후면에 히트 파이프를 부착하여 냉각수를 순환시키는 방식이 개시되어있다[예컨대, 특허 제10-1037301호(2011. 5. 26 공고) "태양전지 모듈 냉각장치" 및 공개특허공보 제10-2009-0125478호(2009.12. 7 공개) "태양전지판용 냉각장치"].In order to prevent the reduction of power generation efficiency as described above, there is disclosed a method of circulating the cooling water by installing a spray sprinkler on the front of the solar cell module or by attaching a heat pipe to the rear of the solar cell module [eg, Patent No. 10-1037301 (published May 26, 2011) "Solar cell module cooling apparatus" and Publication No. 10-2009-0125478 (published Dec. 7, 2009) "Solar panel cooling apparatus"].

It includes a plurality of heat radiation fins 16 arranged over the upper surface of the.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and all known thermally conductive adhesive materials generally used may be used.

상기 복수의 방열핀(16)은 각각 태양전지모듈(10)에 대해 상하 연직하고 길이방향으로 연장된 길이를 갖는 형상으로 된다. 또한, 상기 복수의 방열핀(16)은 서로 간에 소정의 이격 거리를 두어 배열되되, 특히 이들 방열핀(16)의 배열구조에 대기가 들어가는 위치로부터 대기가 빠져나가는 위치로 갈수록 상기 복수의 방열핀(16)의 높이는 점점 낮아지도록 설계된다. 상기 복수의 방열핀(16)의 배열구조의 상부에는 측면부(18)를 갖는 커버(20)가 씌워지고 상기 커버(20)의 측면부(18)가 상기 방열기판(14)에 접착, 용접 또는 스크류 등의 고정구에 의하여 고정됨으로써 상기 배열구조를 고정한다. 상기 커버(20) 역시 일반적으로 알루미늄을 포함한 모든 공지된 열전도성 물질로 구성될 수 있다.The plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 have a vertical shape with respect to the solar cell module 10 and a length extending in the longitudinal direction, respectively. In addition, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other, in particular, the plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 from the position where the air enters from the position into which the air escapes from the arrangement of the heat dissipation fins 16. The height of is designed to be gradually lowered.

The arrangement structure is fixed by being fixed by the fixture. The cover 20 may also be generally comprised of all known thermally conductive materials, including aluminum.

이리함으로써, 판상의 방열기판(14)과 커버(20) 사이에는 복수의 방열핀(16)으로 구획되고 상 하부가 개방되며 상기 방열핀들(16)의 높이를 흡기구(22)로부터 배기구(24)로 갈수록 낮아지도록 형성하여 이로써 공기통로가 점점 좁아지는 구조로 되는 복수의 경사형 펀넬(26)이 형성된다. 그리고. 이와 같은 태양전지모듈(10)은 적당한 지지대(28)상에 설치되어 태양광 발전이 이루어진다(도 5에 가장 잘 도시됨).In this way, the plate-shaped heat dissipation substrate 14 and the cover 20 are partitioned by a plurality of heat dissipation fins 16, the upper and lower portions of which are opened, and the height of the heat dissipation fins 16 from the inlet port 22 to the exhaust port 24.

이러한 본 발명의 구조를 설명하는 도면으로서, 도 3은 태양전지모듈의 후면에 본 발명의 태양전지용 냉각장치가 부착된 것을 보인 측면도이고, 도 4는 도 3의 IV-IV선 단면도이며, 도 5는 본 발명의 태양전지용 냉각장치가 구비된 태양전지모듈이 지지대 상에 설치된 것을 보인 측면도이다.3 is a side view illustrating the solar cell cooling apparatus of the present invention attached to the rear surface of the solar cell module, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG.

도 3 및 도 5를 참조하여 더 상세히 설명하면, 상기 복수의 경사형 펀넬(26)의 구조는 내부에 복수의 방열핀(16)이 배열되되 상기 방열핀들(16) 각각의 높이가 흡기구(22)로부터 배기구(24)로 갈수록 점차 낮아져 결국 공기통로가 갈수록 점차 좁아지도록 설계된다. 이로써, 상기 펀넬(26)의 공기통로에 흡기되어 배기되는 공기의 유속이 크게 증가하게 된다. 즉, 태양전지모듈(10)에서 발생한 열이 복수의 방열핀(16)에 전달되어 방열이 이루어지면서 경사형 펀넬(26)의 소위 굴뚝 효과에 의하여 넓은 흡기구(22)로 흡기되는 공기가 점점 좁아지는 공기통로를 통해 그의 유속이 가속되어 좁은 배기구(24)를 통해 배기되면서 가속화된 자연적 대류순환이 이루어지고 태양전지모듈(10)이 효과적으로 냉각된다. 따라서, 이러한 본 구현예에 의하면, 흡기 및 배기되는 공기의 유속이 가속되므로 별도의 동력원이 없이 자연적 대류순환에 의하여 냉각이 이루어질 수 있다.3 and 5, in the structure of the plurality of inclined funnels 26, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 are arranged therein, and the height of each of the heat dissipation fins 16 is inlet 22. It is designed to gradually decrease from the exhaust port 24 to the exhaust port 24, and eventually narrow the air passage. As a result, the flow rate of the air intaken and exhausted in the air passage of the funnel 26 is greatly increased. That is, the heat generated from the solar cell module 10 is transmitted to the plurality of heat dissipation fins 16, and the heat is dissipated, so that the air sucked into the wide intake port 22 is gradually narrowed by the so-called chimney effect of the inclined funnel 26. The flow velocity of the air is accelerated through the air passage and exhausted through the narrow exhaust port 24, thereby accelerating the natural convection circulation and the solar cell module 10 is effectively cooled. Therefore, according to this embodiment, since the flow rate of the intake and exhaust air is accelerated, cooling can be achieved by natural convection circulation without a separate power source.

또한, 위 도 3 및 도 5 구조의 변형 실시예로서, 본 발명은 위와 같이 상기 방열핀들(16)의 높이를 흡기구(22)로부터 배기구(24)로 갈수록 낮아지도록 형성하는 것 외에, 이 대신에 아니면 이에 부가하여 상기 방열핀들(16) 간의 이격거리를 흡기구(22)로부터 배기구(24)로 갈수록 좁아지게 배열함으로써 공기통로가 점점 좁아지도록 형성할 수도 있다. 즉, 후자의 경우, 흡기구(22)의 폭은 배기구(24)의 폭보다 상대적으로 넓게 형성되며 각 방열핀들(16)은 흡기구(22)에서 배기구(24)를 향해 갈수록 서로 간의 이격거리가 좁아진다.In addition, as a modified embodiment of the structure of Figures 3 and 5 above, the present invention, in addition to forming the height of the heat radiation fins 16 from the inlet 22 to the exhaust port 24 as described above, instead of Alternatively, the air passage may be formed to be narrower by arranging the separation distance between the heat dissipation fins 16 from the intake port 22 toward the exhaust port 24. That is, in the latter case, the width of the inlet port 22 is formed to be relatively wider than the width of the exhaust port 24, and each of the heat dissipation fins 16 has a narrower separation distance from each other toward the exhaust port 24 from the inlet port 22. Lose.

또한, 상기 방열기판(14)은 상기 커버(20)의 일부로서 상기 커버(20)의 저면을 이루는 부분으로서 상기 커버(20)와 일체로 될 수 있거나 별개로 될 수 있다. In addition, the heat dissipation substrate 14 may be integral with or separate from the cover 20 as a part forming the bottom surface of the cover 20 as part of the cover 20.

또한, 상기 커버(20)는 도 1 및 도 2에서는 편의상 사각 단면 형상으로 도시하였지만, 본 발명은 이에 한정되지 않고 방열기판(14)과 복수의 방열핀(16) 및 커버(20) 간에 내부공간으로서 펀넬(26)을 형성할 수 있는 모든 형상이 상기 커버(20)에 적용될 수 있다.In addition, although the cover 20 is shown in a rectangular cross-sectional shape for convenience in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cover 20 is an inner space between the heat dissipation substrate 14 and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 16 and the cover 20. Any shape that can form the funnel 26 can be applied to the cover 20.

한편, 본 발명의 위와 같은 구조는 자연적 대류순환이 가능한 구조로서 그 자체가 양호한 냉각효율을 갖지만, 본 발명의 다른 일 구현예로서 나아가 별도의 송풍수단을 부가하여 대기의 강제 순환을 부가함으로써 냉각효율을 한층 더 증가시킬 수 있다.On the other hand, the above structure of the present invention is a structure capable of natural convection circulation itself has a good cooling efficiency, but as another embodiment of the present invention further by adding a separate blowing means to add a forced circulation of the atmosphere cooling efficiency Can be further increased.

즉, 도 6과 도 7은 본 발명의 제2 구현예에 의하여 자연적 대류순환과 강제순환이 결합된 방식의 냉각장치를 보인 것으로, 도 6은 상기 냉각장치의 구조도이고, 도 7은 도 6의 부분확대단면도이다.That is, FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a cooling apparatus in which a natural convection circulation and a forced circulation are combined according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a structural diagram of the cooling apparatus, and FIG. Partial enlarged cross section.

도 6과 도 7을 참조하면, 본 발명의 제2 구현예에 따라 냉각장치는 도 1 내지 도 5에서 보인 냉각장치의 구조를 공유하되, 펀넬(26)의 흡기구(22) 부근에 송풍기(30)를 더 부가 배치함으로써 상기 송풍기(30)의 동력에 의해 대기를 흡기구(22)로 강제 인입시킨다. 이리하면, 본 구현예의 냉각장치는 대기가 흡기구(22)로 강제 흡기된 후 배기구(26)를 향해 갈수록 좁아지는 공기통로 구조로 인해 그 유속이 가속되어 배기구(26)에서 배기됨으로써 냉각효율이 배가될 수 있다.6 and 7, the cooling device according to the second embodiment of the present invention shares the structure of the cooling device shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, but the blower 30 is located near the intake port 22 of the funnel 26. ) Is further arranged to force the atmosphere into the inlet port 22 by the power of the blower 30. Thus, the cooling device of the present embodiment is accelerated due to the air passage structure that narrows toward the exhaust port 26 after the atmosphere is forced into the intake port 22, the exhaust velocity is accelerated and exhausted from the exhaust port 26 to double the cooling efficiency. Can be.

그리고, 상기 냉각장치는 태양전지모듈(10)의 후면패널(12)의 후면에 배치된 열전소자(32)를 더 포함하며, 이로써 상기 송풍기(30)의 전력원은 이 열전소자(32)가 상기 태양전지모듈(10)로부터 발생하는 열로부터 발전하는 전력으로 공급된다. 따라서, 본 구현예에 의하면 상기 송풍기(30)를 구동하기 위해 별도로 외부의 전력원을 갖출 필요가 없다.In addition, the cooling device further includes a thermoelectric element 32 disposed on the rear of the rear panel 12 of the solar cell module 10, whereby the power source of the blower 30 is the thermoelectric element 32 The solar cell module 10 is supplied with electric power generated from heat generated. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is not necessary to have an external power source separately to drive the blower 30.

더 상세하게는, 상기 열전소자(32)는 일반적으로 이에 각각 인가되는 두 외부 온도 간의 차에 의해 발전하는 제베크(Seebeck) 효과를 이용하는 모든 공지된 열전소자로 될 수 있다. 특히 본 구현예에 있어서, 열전소자(32)에 인가되는 외부온도 간의 차를 크게 하기 위하여 상기 열전소자(32)의 일면(32a)은 발열하는 태양전지모듈(10)의 후면패널(12)에 부착되고 다른 일면(32b)은 지면연결부(34)가 지중(36)에 매입되어 연장된 리드부(38)에 부착된다. 이러한 리드부(38)와 지면연결부(34)는 공지의 열전도성 물질로 구성될 수 있고, 상기 부착은 일 예로서 열전도성 접착물질을 통하여 이루어질 수 있다. 이리하여, 상기 열전소자(32)는 발열부에 접촉하는 일면(32a)과 지중(36)에 접촉하는 다른 일면(32b) 간의 온도차이로 인하여 열전 발전하며, 이렇게 발전한 전력원으로 상기 송풍기(30)를 구동하게 된다.More specifically, the thermoelectric element 32 may be any known thermoelectric element that generally uses the Seebeck effect, which is generated by the difference between the two external temperatures applied thereto. In particular, in this embodiment, in order to increase the difference between the external temperature applied to the thermoelectric element 32, one surface 32a of the thermoelectric element 32 is provided on the rear panel 12 of the solar cell module 10 that generates heat. The other side 32b is attached to the lead portion 38 in which the ground connection portion 34 is embedded in the ground 36 and extended. The lead portion 38 and the ground connection portion 34 may be made of a known thermally conductive material, and the attachment may be made through, for example, a thermally conductive adhesive material. Thus, the thermoelectric element 32 is thermoelectrically generated due to a temperature difference between one surface 32a in contact with the heat generating unit and the other surface 32b in contact with the ground 36. ).

여기서, 도 7은 상기 열전소자(32)의 다른 일면(32b)이 지중(36)에 매입된 지면연결부(34)를 통해 지중(36)의 온도를 인가받는 구조를 보이나, 본 발명은 이에 한정되지 아니하고 이외에도 상기 리드부(38)의 지면연결부(34)는 지중(36)이 아닌 물이나 냉각수를 포함한 유체 내에서 부유하도록 구성되거나 또는 다른 공지의 냉각수단에 접촉하여 상대적으로 저온의 외부 온도가 상기 열전소자(32)의 다른 일면(32b)에 인가되도록 할 수도 있다.Here, FIG. 7 shows a structure in which the other surface 32b of the thermoelectric element 32 receives the temperature of the ground 36 through the ground connection portion 34 embedded in the ground 36, but the present invention is limited thereto. In addition, the ground connection portion 34 of the lead portion 38 is configured to float in a fluid containing water or cooling water other than the ground 36, or a relatively low external temperature in contact with other known cooling means. It may be applied to the other surface 32b of the thermoelectric element 32.

또한, 일 예로서 상기 열전소자(32)의 일면(32a)은 태양전지모듈(10)의 후면패널(12)에서 발열온도가 높은 부위에 선택적으로 부착될 수 있고, 다른 일 예로서 상기 열전소자(32)는 태양전지모듈(10)의 패널(12)의 전폭 또는 전폭 미만에 걸치도록 연장되어 상기 패널(12)의 전폭과 동일하거나 그 미만인 폭의 구조를 가질 수 있고, 이에 부착되는 리드부(38) 역시 이에 상응하는 크기를 가질 수 있다.In addition, as an example, one surface 32a of the thermoelectric element 32 may be selectively attached to a portion having a high heat generation temperature on the rear panel 12 of the solar cell module 10, and as another example, the thermoelectric element 32 may extend to cover the full width or less than the full width of the panel 12 of the solar cell module 10 to have a structure having a width equal to or less than the full width of the panel 12, and a lead portion attached thereto. (38) may also have a corresponding size.

또한, 본 구현예는 상기 송풍기(30)의 정격에 맞추어진 전력을 공급하기 위하여 전압조정회로(도시하지 않았음)를 더 포함하고 이를 통하여 송풍기(30)에 전기적으로 연결될 수 있다.In addition, the present embodiment may further include a voltage adjusting circuit (not shown) to supply electric power matched to the rating of the blower 30, and may be electrically connected to the blower 30.

이러한 본 구현예에 따르면, 대기가 흡기구(22)로 강제 흡기된 후 배기구(24)를 향해 갈수록 좁아지는 공기통로 구조로 인해 그 유속이 가속되면서 배기구(24)에서 배기됨으로써 냉각효율이 배가될 수 있다. 또한, 날씨에 따른 태양광의 충분한 정도에 상관없이 태양전지모듈(10)에 입사하여 임의 수준 이상 축적된 태양열로부터도 상기 열전소자(32)는 발전 가능하여 송풍기(30)를 구동하여 대기를 상기 펀넬(26) 내로 강제 인입시킬 수 있으므로 날씨에 관계 없이도 냉각 가능하다. 당연하지만, 상기 열전소자(32)가 발전이 불가능하여 전력을 상기 송풍기(30)에 공급하지 못할 경우에는 도 1~5에 도시한 제1 구현예에 따라 자연적으로 외부 공기가 흡기구(22)에 유입됨으로써 냉각기능을 수행한다.According to this embodiment, due to the air passage structure that is narrowed toward the exhaust port 24 after the atmosphere is forced into the intake port 22, the flow rate is accelerated and exhausted from the exhaust port 24 can be doubled the cooling efficiency have. In addition, regardless of the degree of sunlight due to the weather, the thermoelectric element 32 is capable of generating power from the solar heat incident on the solar cell module 10 and accumulated at a predetermined level or more, driving the blower 30 to cool the atmosphere. (26) It can be forced in and can be cooled regardless of the weather. Naturally, when the thermoelectric element 32 is unable to generate power to supply electric power to the blower 30, external air is naturally supplied to the intake port 22 according to the first embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5. By entering, it performs cooling function.

도 8 내지 도 12는 본 발명의 제3 구현예에 따른 태양전지용 냉각장치를 보인 것이다. 도 8은 본 발명의 제3 구현예에 따른 냉각장치에서 단 하나의 방열핀(116)만을 예시적으로 보인다. 이러한 방열핀(116)은 도 9에서 보인 바와 같이 방열기판(114)에 다수가 배열되고 이 방열기판(114)은 태양전지모듈(110)의 후면패널(112)에 부착된다.8 to 12 show a solar cell cooling apparatus according to a third embodiment of the present invention. 8 exemplarily shows only one heat dissipation fin 116 in the cooling apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention. 9, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 116 are arranged on the heat dissipation substrate 114, and the heat dissipation substrate 114 is attached to the rear panel 112 of the solar cell module 110.

상기 방열핀(116)은 판상의 형태이고 배치된 위치에서 보았을 때 하부로 갈수록 폭이 좁아지고 상부로 갈수록 폭이 넓어지는 형태이다. 이러한 방열핀(116)의 단부에는 그 전체 길이를 따라서 경사형 펀넬(126)이 형성된 대류유도관체(140)가 착설된다. 이와 같은 대류유도관체(140)는 배치된 위치에서 보았을 때 하부로 갈수록 폭이 넓고 상부로 갈수록 폭이 좁아지는 사각 단면의 형태이고, 따라서 그 내부에 형성된 경사형 펀넬(126)은 하부의 넓은 흡기구(122)와 상부의 상대적으로 좁은 배기구(124)가 형성된다. 즉, 실질적으로 방열핀(116)의 냉각이 이루어질 수 있도록 공기의 대류를 유도하는 경사형 펀넬(126)은 직접 방열핀(116)에 착설되는 대류유도관체(140)에 의하여 형성된다.The heat dissipation fin 116 is in the form of a plate, and when viewed from the disposed position, the width becomes narrower toward the bottom and wider toward the top. At the end of the heat dissipation fin 116, a convection guide tube 140 in which an inclined funnel 126 is formed along its entire length is installed. This convection guide tube 140 is in the form of a rectangular cross section that is wider toward the bottom and narrower toward the top when viewed from the disposed position, and thus the inclined funnel 126 formed therein has a wide intake port at the bottom thereof. 122 and an upper, relatively narrow exhaust port 124 are formed. That is, the inclined funnel 126 which induces convection of air to substantially cool the heat dissipation fin 116 is formed by the convection induction tube 140 directly installed on the heat dissipation fin 116.

본 구현예에서, 각 방열핀(116) 상에 배치된 각 대류유도관체(140)의 경사형 펀넬(126)은 하부의 흡기구(122)로부터 상부의 배기구(124)로 갈수록 단면크기가 점차 작아져 결국 공기통로가 갈수록 좁아지므로, 상기 펀넬(26)을 통과하는 공기는 배기구(124)를 향하여 유속이 크게 증가한다.In this embodiment, the inclined funnel 126 of each convective conduit 140 disposed on each of the heat dissipation fins 116 is gradually smaller in cross-section size from the lower inlet 122 to the upper exhaust port 124. Eventually, since the air passage becomes narrower, the air passing through the funnel 26 increases the flow velocity toward the exhaust port 124.

즉, 태양전지모듈(110)에서 발생한 열이 복수의 방열핀(116)을 통하여 방열되고, 이 방열된 열은 경사형 펀넬(126)의 굴뚝 효과에 의하여 넓은 흡기구(122)로 흡기되는 공기에 실려 점점 좁아지는 공기통로를 통해 유속이 가속되면서 좁은 배기구(124)를 통해 배기되므로, 가속화된 자연적 대류순환이 이루어지고 태양전지모듈(110)이 효과적으로 냉각된다. 따라서, 경사형 펀넬(126)에서 흡기 및 배기되는 공기의 유속이 가속되므로 별도의 동력원이 없이 자연적 대류순환에 의하여 냉각이 이루어질 수 있다.That is, heat generated from the solar cell module 110 is radiated through the plurality of heat dissipation fins 116, and the heat dissipated is carried by the air sucked into the wide inlet 122 by the chimney effect of the inclined funnel 126. As the flow rate is accelerated through the narrowing air passage, the exhaust gas is exhausted through the narrow exhaust port 124, thereby accelerating the natural convection circulation and effectively cooling the solar cell module 110. Therefore, since the flow rate of the intake and exhaust air in the inclined funnel 126 is accelerated, cooling can be achieved by natural convection circulation without a separate power source.

또한, 전술한 앞서의 구현예들과 마찬가지로, 본 구현예 역시 경사형 펀넬(126)이 형성된 대류유도관체(140)가 상부에 배치된 각 방열핀(116)은 방열기판(114)에 결합되며, 이러한 방열기판(114)은 태양전지모듈(110)의 후면패널(112)에 결합되고, 이 태양전지모듈(110)은 태양광 발전을 위하여 적당한 지지대(128)상에 설치될 수 있다.In addition, as in the above-described embodiments, each of the heat dissipation fins 116 on which the convection guide body 140 having the inclined funnel 126 is formed is coupled to the heat dissipation substrate 114. The heat dissipation substrate 114 is coupled to the rear panel 112 of the solar cell module 110, the solar cell module 110 may be installed on a suitable support 128 for photovoltaic power generation.

또한, 상기 펀넬(126)의 단면 형상은 도 8 및 도 9에서는 편의상 사각 단면 형상으로 도시하였으나, 본 발명은 이에 한정되지 않고 위에서 기술한 대류순환이 가능하면서 복수의 배열로 형성가능한 모든 단면 형상(예컨대, 육각 단면의 벌집형상)이 상기 펀넬(126)에 적용될 수 있다.In addition, although the cross-sectional shape of the funnel 126 is shown as a square cross-sectional shape for convenience in FIGS. 8 and 9, the present invention is not limited thereto, and all the cross-sectional shapes that can be formed in a plurality of arrays while allowing convection circulation described above ( For example, a honeycomb of hexagonal cross section) may be applied to the funnel 126.

위와 같이 본 발명은 태양전지모듈의 패널의 후면에 부착하여 대기의 대류순환을 이용하여 상기 태양전지모듈을 냉각하는 신규한 구조로서, 무동력 구동에 의한 자연적인 공기순환 모드와 동력 구동에 의한 강제적 공기순환 모드 중의 하나 이상을 선택적으로 구동할 수 있으므로, 간단한 구조를 가지면서도 구동비용이 절감되고 냉각효율이 개선된다.As described above, the present invention is a novel structure that cools the solar cell module using the convection circulation of the atmosphere by attaching to the rear of the panel of the solar cell module, the natural air circulation mode by the non-powered driving and forced air by the power drive Since one or more of the circulation modes can be selectively driven, the driving cost is reduced and the cooling efficiency is improved while having a simple structure.
