A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A 10 kW-scale photovoltaic power generation system was installed on the roof of two-story building of Utsukushino Kindergarten, which faces at the south with excellent insolation. A simple and sound construction method was adopted. A standard type photovoltaic power generation system was selected, which had accomplishments. Solar cells were fabricated in the mass-production line, which resulted in the construction as scheduled. Since the system was placed on the existing roof of the reinforced concrete building with enough strength, a standard frame could be used. An unused space on the existing roof facing at the playground was used, which resulted in the reduction of cost and the construction period of base and frame for the solar cells. In kindergartens, there are relatively abundant spaces with good insolation even in the urban densely housed area. A space having the most abundant solar radiation throughout a year was selected in the facilities. The solar cells were placed on such a place to operate the system efficiently. People and students in the neighborhood of the kindergarten can often find a photovoltaic power generation display board and whole solar cells by the way of commuting, attending to school, sending children, and going home in the morning and evening. 9 figs., 1 tab.
