Abstract

Wall structure in particular for industrial buildings having a vertical support post ( 5 ) supported on the ground, to which an upper end of a support rail ( 1 ) is affixed, wherein at least one carrier ( 2 ) with a solar module ( 3 ) is fixed to the support rail ( 1 ) and the support rail ( 1 ) is fixed in an inclined position relative to the vertical by means of a spacer ( 9 ) positioned between the support post ( 5 ) and the support rail ( 1 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Wall structure in particular for industrial buildings having a vertical support post ( 5 ) supported on the ground, to which an upper end of a support rail ( 1 ) is affixed, wherein at least one carrier ( 2 ) with a solar module ( 3 ) is fixed to the support rail ( 1 ) and the support rail ( 1 ) is fixed in an inclined position relative to the vertical by means of a spacer ( 9 ) positioned between the support post ( 5 ) and the support rail ( 1 ). 
     
     
         2 . Wall structure according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) is longitudinally moveably attached to the spacer ( 9 ). 
     
     
         3 . Wall structure according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) is slidably attached to the spacer ( 9 ). 
     
     
         4 . Wall structure according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) is aligned at an angle of inclination to the vertical of between 5° and 20°, in particular 8° to 15°. 
     
     
         5 . Wall structure according to any one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that a wall element ( 4 ) is mounted to the support post ( 5 ). 
     
     
         6 . Wall structure according to  claim 5 , characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) used for attaching the solar modules ( 3 ) extends over at least 70%, preferably at least 80%, of the height of the wall element ( 4 ). 
     
     
         7 . Wall structure according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that several support rails ( 1 ) next to one another are fixed in each case to a vertical support post ( 5 ), and the support rails ( 1 ) are connected to each other by means of cross struts, to which solar modules ( 3 ) with a surface area of more than 20 m 2  are mounted. 
     
     
         8 . Wall structure according to any one of the aforementioned claims, characterized in that the wall element ( 4 ) has an outer layer and an insulating layer. 
     
     
         9 . Wall structure according to any one of the aforementioned claims, characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) and/or the spacer ( 9 ) are attached to the vertical support post ( 5 ) by means of fixing devices ( 10 , 90 ) that penetrate the wall element ( 4 ). 
     
     
         10 . Wall structure according to  claim 9 , characterized in that a drill hole is formed in the wall element ( 4 ) through which the fixing device ( 10 ,  90 ) is guided, wherein the drill hole is filled out with foam and sealed. 
     
     
         11 . Wall structure according to any one of the aforementioned claims, characterized in that the lower end of the support rail ( 1 ) is positioned less than 1 m above the ground ( 14 ). 
     
     
         12 . Wall structure according to any one of the aforementioned claims, characterized in that the support rail ( 1 ) has a length of more than 4 m, in particular more than 6 m.
