A photovoltaic power generation system in which an electricity generated by solar cells and a remaining battery level can be checked at once, thus enabling the photovoltaic power generation system to be efficiently operated. The photovoltaic power generation system is provided to charge a battery of a vehicle and is equipped with solar cells for feeding an electromotive force to the battery. The photovoltaic power generation system includes LEDs to make the remaining battery level and the electricity generated by the solar cells visible. Without taking the trouble to prepare a measuring instrument or to push a button of an indicator, a user of the vehicle can immediately check the remaining battery level and the electricity generated by the solar cells by visually checking the display of the LEDs, thus enabling the photovoltaic power generation system to be efficiently operated. |

The present invention relates to a rolling type cover device, and more particularly, to a device, which draws out a cover and covers a two-wheeler or automobile with the cover to protect the vehicle and winds the cover to enable it to be kept conveniently when the cover is not utilized. The rolling type cover device comprises a mid-sheet shaft (100) having a mid-sheet (110) wound thereon; a cover shaft (200) rotating by a rotational force-inputting means to allow a cover (210) and the mid-sheet (110) to be stacked and wound on the cover shaft; a power transmission means (300) for transmitting rotational force of the cover shaft (200) to the mid-sheet shaft (100); and a body (400) accommodating the mid-sheet shaft (100) and the cover shaft (200) and rotatably supporting them in parallel with each other. The rolling type cover device of the present invention is used, which is easily transported and kept, winds a mid-sheet in a state where the mid-sheet is interposed between an inner surface and an outer surface of the cover, when the cover is wound, to prevent foreign substances stuck to the outer surface of the cover from being transferred to the inner surface of the cover, thereby durably preventing a two-wheeler or automobile from being contaminated, and can prevent the cover from being drawn out using a stopper to thereby maintain an appropriate tension of the cover and thus remarkably enhance the user's convenience. |
