Roof Panel Having Solar Cell Of Vehicle

A roof panel of a vehicle is equipped with a solar cell module that is capable of satisfying an opening sense of the roof panel and preventing a voltage drop due to contact between heterogeneous solar cells. The solar cell module has the heterogeneous solar cell modules simultaneously mounted, and maintains output voltages of the heterogeneous solar cells to be the same by providing a plurality of cells in at least one of the solar cell modules, or individually controlling power output from the same kinds of solar cells by electric wire parts individually connected to the heterogeneous solar cells to maximize performance of the solar cell.

2 Independent Claims

  • 1. A roof panel having a solar cell of a vehicle in which heterogeneous solar cells are disposed in a roof glass, comprising: a first solar cell configured to be mounted at a central portion of the roof glass; and a second solar cell having transparency lower than that of the first solar cell configured to be mounted at an edge portion of the roof glass, wherein upper and lower surfaces of the first solar cell and the second solar cell are sequentially stacked with a bonding film and the roof glass, at least one of the first solar cell and the second solar cell is configured of a plurality of cells and the plurality of cells of the solar cell are connected in series and in parallel so that output voltages of the solar cells are the same, and the first solar cell and the second solar cell are adjacently positioned to each other, maintaining a gap to prevent the first solar cell and the second solar cell from contacting each other.

  • 7. A roof panel having a solar cell of a vehicle in which heterogeneous solar cells are disposed in a roof glass, comprising: a first solar cell configured to be mounted at a central portion of the roof glass; a second solar cell having transparency lower than that of the first solar cell configured to be mounted at an edge portion of the roof glass; a first electric wire part configured to be connected to an electrode of the first solar cell; a second electric wire part configured to be connected to an electrode of the second solar cell; and a plurality of controllers configured to be connected to the first electric wire part and the second electric wire part, respectively, wherein upper and lower surfaces of the first solar cell and the second solar cell are stacked with a bonding film, and the first solar cell and the second solar cell are adjacently positioned to each other, maintaining a gap to prevent the first solar cell and the second solar cell from contacting each other.
