The present invention provides a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) junction box having a housing and a connection assembly disposed within the housing. The housing includes first sidewalls positioned opposite to each other and second sidewalls adjacent and connecting to the two first sidewalls. Additionally, an opening is provided opposite a bottom wall, with the bottom wall connecting the first and second sidewalls. The second sidewalls include extensions that extend beyond a height of the first sidewalls, so that an edge of a solar cell panel is sandwiched between the extensions when the junction box is mounted on the edge of the solar cell panel. The BIPV junction box of the present invention may be applied to the connection of BIPV solar cell modules.

1. A building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) junction box, comprising: a housing having first sidewalls positioned opposite to each other, second sidewalls adjacent to and connecting the first sidewalls, and an opening opposite a bottom wall connecting the first and second sidewalls;a connection assembly disposed within the housing and connectable to a solar panel; andextensions of the second sidewalls which extend beyond a height of the first sidewalls, so that an edge of the solar cell panel is sandwiched between the extensions when the junction box is mounted on the edge of the solar cell panel. 2. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extensions are positioned near the opening opposite the bottom wall. 3. The junction box as claimed in claim 2, wherein the extensions comprise at least a pair of jaws. 4. The junction box as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of the jaws has a hook formed on an inner surface at a distal end thereof. 5. The junction box as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a cylinder-shaped cable socket formed on an outer surface of at least one of the first sidewalls, wherein the cylinder-shaped cable socket has therein a pin that extends in an axial direction of the cable socket and penetrates the at least one of the first sidewalls hermetically to be connected to the connection assembly. 6. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the opening is closed by a closing cover. 7. The junction box as claimed in claim 3, wherein the extensions comprise at least a pair of jaws. 8. The junction box as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of the jaws has a hook formed on an inner surface at a distal end thereof. 9. The junction box as claimed in claim 6, wherein the bottom wail has lead passageways allowing leads of the solar cell panel to pass through. 10. The junction box as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a cylinder-shaped cable socket formed on an outer surface of at least one of the first sidewalls, wherein the cylinder-shaped cable socket has therein a pin that extends in an axial direction of the cable socket and penetrates the at least one of the first sidewalls hermetically to be connected to the connection assembly. 11. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the extensions comprise at least a pair of jaws. 12. The junction box as claimed in claim 11, wherein each of the jaws has a hook formed on an inner surface at a distal end thereof. 13. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the first sidewalls has a receiving passageway therein, which allows an external cable to penetrate the housing and be connected to the connection assembly in the housing. 14. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a cylinder-shaped cable socket formed on an outer surface of at least one of the first sidewalls, wherein the cylinder-shaped cable socket has therein a pin that extends in an axial direction of the cable socket and penetrates the at least one of the first sidewalls hermetically to be connected to the connection assembly. 15. The junction box as claimed in claim 14, wherein at least one of the spring clamps has a back thereof face one of the second sidewalk of the housing. 16. The junction box as claimed in claim 14, wherein the connection assembly comprises two sub-assemblies each comprising the conductive rail and the spring clamps, the two sub-assemblies are the same as each other and are rotationally symmetrical with respect to a central axis of the housing perpendicular to the bottom wall of the housing. 17. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection assembly comprises conductive rails and spring clamps for electrically connecting and fixing external cables and leads of the solar cell panel, respectively. 18. The junction box as claimed in claim 17, wherein the connection assembly further comprises an insulating chassis for holding the conductive rails and the spring clamps. 19. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection assembly further comprises a bypass diode for overcurrent protection, the bypass diode is connected in series with the solar cell panel via leads of the solar cell panel. 20. The junction box as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection assembly further comprises a bypass diode for overcurrent protection, the bypass diode is connected in parallel with the solar cell panel via leads of the solar cell panel.
