The RV roof solar panel fixing bracket includes a bracket and a front windshield bracket 7, the bracket includes a bottom plate 1 for mounting to the roof, a side plate 2 is vertically arranged on one side of the bottom plate 1, the side plate 2 is U-shaped, a connecting plate 3 is horizontally arranged in the middle cavity of the side plate 2, the connecting plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 are located on the same side of the side plate 2, and the connecting plate 3 is located above the bottom plate 1 and is parallel to the bottom plate 1.

[0021] The bottom plate 1 and the connecting plate 3 are respectively perpendicular to the side plates 2, and an L-shaped installation position is formed between the side plates 2 and the connecting plate 3. The bottom of the solar panel is supported on the connecting plate 3, and the side is attached to the side plate 2 to achieve support.

[0022] The bottom plate 1 is fixed to the roof by gluing or bolting. The bottom plate 1 and the connecting plate 3 are both located on the inner side of the side plate 2. After the solar panel is installed, the bottom plate 1 is located below the solar panel. There is no need to reserve an area of ​​a certain width at the edge of the roof for installing the bottom plate 1, so that the side plate 2 can be as close to the edge of the roof area as possible, thereby increasing the area of ​​the area between the multiple fixing brackets, thereby increasing the area of ​​the solar panel as much as possible, avoiding the waste of roof space, and increasing the power generation as much as possible.

[0023] The area of ​​the bottom plate 1 is larger than the area of ​​the connecting plate 3. The bottom plate 1 has a larger stress-bearing area, making it more stable after being installed on the roof.

[0024] The front windshield bracket 7 is a columnar structure with an arc-shaped front side surface. The cross-section of the front windshield bracket 7 is fan-shaped. The rear side wall of the front windshield bracket 7 is laterally fixedly connected with the mounting plate 4.
