Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water surface photovoltaic construction equipment, specifically a safe platform that facilitates the installation, maintenance, and cleaning of photovoltaic panels on river surfaces. Background Technology
[0002] A photovoltaic (PV) panel is a power generation device that generates direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. It consists of thin, solid photovoltaic cells made almost entirely of semiconductor materials. Because it has no moving parts, it can operate for extended periods without any wear and tear. Simple PV cells can power watches and calculators, while more complex PV systems can provide lighting for homes and supply power to the grid. PV panels can be made in various shapes, and the panels can be connected to generate even more electricity. Some PV panels are installed on water, requiring boats to enter the area where the PV system is located for installation and subsequent cleaning and maintenance. Existing surface PV maintenance boats are usually made of simple pontoons assembled together. Because they lack lifting platforms, cleaning and maintaining the PV panels is more laborious, and the power unit used to drive the boat is usually inconvenient to disassemble. Utility Model Content
