However, during installation, the irregularly shaped photovoltaic panels need to be aligned with the edges of the house, which requires adjustment. Existing devices are not convenient for adjustment, making installation inconvenient. Therefore, we propose an irregularly shaped photovoltaic module to solve the problems mentioned above.
