Abstract

A solar cell panel assembly for supplying power to a motor-driven screen apparatus mounted for movement between an inside glass plate and an outside glass plate spaced therefrom in a double-glazed sliding door unit includes a belt-like sheet of solar cell panels having its bottom edge portion disposed via a plurality of mount members so as to be held in contact with the lower inside portion of the outer glass plate, extending in the horizontal direction along the lower inside portion of the outer glass plate, and inclined in such manner that its top end portion extends toward the inner glass plate. Preferably, the solar cell panel is provided with a glass panel mounted in tight contact with an outer light receiving surface of the solar cell panel, and transparent resin having a refractive index equivalent to that of glass is filled by potting in a wedge-shaped space formed between the glass panel and the inner surface of the outer glass plate. Also, preferably a reflector plate of an inverse-L shape in cross section having its upper surface formed as a reflecting surface, is disposed so as to reflect toward the outside lower portion of the outer glass plate and extend along the outside lower portion of the same glass plate.
