For the photovoltaic module 7, the secondary water tank 6 is attached to the secondary water tank 6. Figure 1 In terms of direction, the actual height of photovoltaic module 7 on the right side of the diagram is higher than its actual height on the left side. This allows rainwater on the surface of photovoltaic module 7 to flow along it into the secondary water tank 6. This height setting is just one example; the opposite setting can achieve the same technical effect, but it is necessary to ensure that the attached... Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2 The photovoltaic modules 7 are arranged continuously to prevent rainwater from falling directly onto the underside of the photovoltaic modules 7.
