[0002] Currently, with global energy shortages, people are increasingly turning to new, green, and environmentally friendly energy sources as supplements and alternatives to traditional energy sources. Solar energy is one such alternative. A solar photovoltaic (PV) system utilizes the photovoltaic effect of semiconductors to directly convert sunlight into electricity. Solar PV systems are generally classified into two categories: stand-alone and grid-connected. As an emerging power generation system, solar PV systems have attracted considerable attention and are widely used in the energy generation field. Because PV power stations require ample sunlight to generate electricity, they are typically built in relatively open areas. However, these areas are particularly prone to lightning strikes, placing high demands on system grounding. Furthermore, the frames of PV modules are typically made of aluminum, which has a non-conductive protective film on the surface, such as an oxide layer or coating. Therefore, during PV system installation, this oxide layer or coating must be broken to achieve electrical equipotential connection between PV modules. However, existing PV module connection procedures are complex and tedious. To address these issues in the prior art, we propose a convenient, equipotential bonding plate bonding structure.
