Abstract

See full text

The object of this invention is to protect a solar panel with attaching a protection module to four corners of a solar panel. Another object is for preventing the protection module from falling off when a solar panel is lifted up or tilted. Further object is that protection modules prevent collapse of cargo piles when solar panels are accumulated. The protection module comprises perpendicular sidewalls 41 and stage-like insertion member 44. The sidewalls 41 cover two corner sides of the stacked solar panels. The insertion member 44 and the sidewalls 41 are molded integrally in such manner to connect two sides of the insertion member 44 to the inner surface 42 of the sidewalls 41. The insertion member 44 is inserted between the stacked solar panels. A bank 45 is formed on the upper surface of the insertion member 44. The bank 45 has hooking slopes 46 for holding the lower edge 34 of the frame of the solar panel by hooking on it. A terrace 47 is formed on the underside of the insertion member 44. The terrace 47 has a ridge 48 for grasping the slope 33 of the upper edge 32 of the frame.
