Abstract

The invention relates to a modular construction element used to close a building roof, in particular a flat roof, comprising a first face inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, having at least one transparent or translucent portion suitable for allowing natural light to illuminate the inside of the building; a second face inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, of opposite orientation to the first face, having at least one solar panel comprising at least one photovoltaic module; and at least part of the faces of the modular element comprising at least one thermal and/or acoustic insulation layer.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular construction element used to close a building roof, in particular a flat roof, comprising a wall having:
 a first face inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, having at least one transparent or translucent portion suitable for allowing natural light to illuminate the inside of the building;   a second face inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, of opposite orientation to the first face, having at least one solar panel comprising at least one photovoltaic module; and   at least part of the faces of the modular element comprising at least one thermal and/or acoustic insulation layer.   
     
     
         2 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising sealing means designed to allow continuity of sealing between the modular element and the roof when the modular construction element is positioned on the roof. 
     
     
         3 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the thermal and/or acoustic insulation means comprise glass wool. 
     
     
         4 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the thermal and/or acoustic insulation means comprise a double-glazing unit. 
     
     
         5 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the first face makes an angle of between 20° and 50°. 
     
     
         6 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the second face makes an angle of greater than 60°. 
     
     
         7 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the modular element comprises gutters for recovering the condensation water. 
     
     
         8 . The modular construction element as claimed in  claim 1 , in which a cooling passage is provided at the rear of the solar panel in the second face. 
     
     
         9 . A roof comprising a framework having at least one housing and at least one modular element as claimed in  claim 1  accommodated in the housing of the framework.
