[0002] With the continuous development of photovoltaic power generation technology, curved photovoltaic modules have also made relatively significant progress. In particular, in the field of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), the use of flexible thin-film photovoltaic technologies (such as organic photovoltaics (OPV), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and perovskite cells) has greatly improved the lightness and bendability of photovoltaic modules, enabling them to be perfectly integrated with the curved roofs, facades and other complex structures of buildings, not only achieving efficient energy utilization, but also enriching the aesthetics and functionality of architectural design.

[0003] However, curved photovoltaic modules still face several challenges in their manufacturing process. Due to the complex manufacturing process, products are prone to defects such as uneven materials and inconsistent curvature, resulting in low yield rates. Furthermore, the production of curved photovoltaic modules requires specialized laminators, which are expensive and require high maintenance, further increasing the manufacturing cost and difficulty of curved photovoltaic modules. These factors also limit the large-scale promotion and market competitiveness of curved photovoltaic modules. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment 1, a photovoltaic module structure with adjustable angle is designed, and the photovoltaic module structure includes:

[0032] Several planar photovoltaic modules 1;

[0033] Several photovoltaic module connectors 2 with angle adjustment function include a first connecting section 21 and a second connecting section 22, and the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 are respectively provided with several first sleeves 212 and second sleeves 222, and the rotating shaft 23 is inserted into the first sleeve 212 and the second sleeve 222 to realize the hinge connection of the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22, thereby realizing the angle adjustment function of the photovoltaic module connector 2. Several first fixing grooves 211 and second fixing grooves 221 with corresponding positions are also respectively provided on the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22. Component mounting grooves 24 are respectively provided on the edges of the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22. The edges of the photovoltaic modules 1 are inserted into the component mounting grooves 24 and fixed by structural adhesive, thereby forming a connection structure in which several planar photovoltaic modules 1 are spaced apart from the several photovoltaic module connectors 2;

[0034] And a plurality of fixing pins 3, both ends of which are connected to the first fixing groove 211 and the second fixing groove 221 respectively, so as to maintain the angle of the photovoltaic component connector 2 after adjustment.

[0035] Preferably, the two ends of the fixing pin 3 in the above embodiment 1 form a snap-fit ​​connection with the first fixing groove 211 and the second fixing groove 221 respectively to ensure that the fixing pin 3 will not fall off naturally.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that: Figure 4 As shown, in embodiment 2, mounting holes 25 are provided on the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 at positions corresponding to the component mounting slot 24 , and then bolts are connected in the mounting holes 25 to fix the planar photovoltaic component 1 in the component mounting slot 24 .

[0038] Conventional curved PV module installation typically involves first selecting a bracket suitable for the roof tile battens and securing it to the battens to ensure stability. The curved PV module is then placed on the bracket and secured with screws and nuts. While conventional curved PV modules are installed by attaching them to the battens, while simple to install, they lack angle adjustment capabilities and are generally only suitable for use in locations with stable sunlight angles. This limitation makes the power generation efficiency of existing curved PV modules difficult to adjust due to their fixed angle.

[0039] The adjustable-angle photovoltaic module structure designed in the present invention uses a combination of adjustable-angle photovoltaic module connectors and conventional flat photovoltaic modules. Through these adjustable-angle connectors, conventional flat photovoltaic modules can achieve the effect of curved modules to a certain extent. This method can not only reduce production costs but also improve product yield. In addition, this combination method enhances installation flexibility, enabling it to better adapt to various complex structures, thereby promoting the application and development of photovoltaic modules in more fields. The adjustable-angle photovoltaic module structure designed in the present invention can achieve the optimal power generation angle through angle adjustment, thereby improving power generation efficiency.

[0040] The above preferred embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
