Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic brackets, in particular to a photovoltaic bracket with a cleaning function. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic panels, also known as solar panels, are devices that use solar energy to convert light energy into electrical energy. It is mainly composed of solar cells, which convert light radiated by the sun into electrons through the photovoltaic effect, which in turn form an electric current. The photovoltaic effect refers to the fact that when light shines on a semiconductor material, such as silicon, it causes electrons on the surface of the material to break away from atoms and form an electric current. The structure of a photovoltaic cell usually consists of two layers of silicon with different doping to form a pn junction. When light shines on the pn junction, more electrons are excited, thereby increasing the intensity of the current. Photovoltaic panels have many advantages, including converting solar energy into electrical energy, improving energy utilization efficiency, not generating any pollution, having very good environmental protection effects, and having a long lifespan, providing long-term energy saving and economic benefits.

[0003] However, during the installation process of photovoltaic panels, brackets are needed to support and install the photovoltaic panels. However, traditional photovoltaic panel brackets, such as the technical solution disclosed in the patent with application number CN201510977916.7 and invention name "A solar photovoltaic panel bracket", cannot clean the photovoltaic panels.
