Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, specifically relating to a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic modules are the core component of a solar power generation system. The solar cells within a photovoltaic module have the characteristic of converting light energy into electrical energy. They can convert solar radiation energy shining on their surface into direct current (DC), which can then be stored in batteries, or converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter and fed into the power generation system. Therefore, intelligent devices such as inverters, smart optimizers, and shutdown devices are typically installed on the back of photovoltaic modules to control and manage their power generation function.

[0003] In related technologies, photovoltaic modules and smart devices are packaged separately at the factory, and then the smart devices are installed onto the photovoltaic modules on-site using screws or adhesives. Photovoltaic modules using this technology have high packaging and transportation costs, and the installation and use process is relatively complex, resulting in high installation costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application aims to provide a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic system that can solve the problems of high packaging and transportation costs, relatively complex operation, and high installation costs of photovoltaic modules in related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application propose a photovoltaic module, comprising:

[0007] The component body includes a laminate and a frame, the frame being disposed around at least a portion of the laminate, the frame and the laminate forming a receiving groove;

[0008] An electronic component, wherein the electronic component is disposed in the receiving slot;

[0009] The mounting assembly has one end connected to the frame and the other end connected to the electronic component. The mounting assembly is used to fix the electronic component and can adjust the relative position of the electronic component and the laminate to switch the electronic component between a storage state and an operating state.

[0010] When the electronic component is in a storage state, it is housed within the receiving slot; when the photovoltaic module is in an operating state, the electronic component is at least partially exposed outside the receiving slot.

[0011] Secondly, embodiments of this application propose a photovoltaic system including the photovoltaic module described in the first aspect.

[0012] In this application, mounting components are incorporated into the photovoltaic module to mount and fix electronic components onto the frame of the module body. Furthermore, the mounting components allow adjustment of the position of the electronic components within the module body, enabling switching between storage and operational states. Consequently, when storing or transporting the photovoltaic module, the electronic components are housed within receiving slots for convenient packaging and transport along with the module body. When the photovoltaic module needs to be installed and used, the position of the electronic components is adjusted using the mounting components, ensuring that at least a portion of the electronic components are exposed within the receiving slots for connection and use. This photovoltaic module structure not only facilitates packaging and transportation but also enables convenient installation and use at the application site.

[0039] The photovoltaic modules and photovoltaic systems provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a photovoltaic module according to some embodiments of this application includes: a module body, an electronic component 30, and a mounting assembly 40. The module body includes a laminate 10 and a frame 20. The frame 20 is disposed around at least a portion of the laminate 10, and the frame 20 and the laminate 10 enclose a receiving groove 11. The electronic component 30 is disposed in the receiving groove 11. One end of the mounting assembly 40 is connected to the frame 20, and the other end of the mounting assembly 40 is connected to the electronic component 30. The mounting assembly 40 is used to fix the electronic component 30 and can adjust the relative position of the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 so that the electronic component 30 can switch between a storage state and an operating state. In the storage state, the electronic component 30 is housed in the receiving groove 11, and in the operating state, at least a portion of the electronic component 30 is exposed in the receiving groove 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, by providing an mounting component 40 in the photovoltaic module, the electronic component 30 can be mounted and fixed to the frame 20 in the module body. Furthermore, the mounting component 40 allows adjustment of the position of the electronic component 30 within the module body, enabling it to switch between storage and operational states. Moreover, when the photovoltaic module needs to be stored or transported, the electronic component 30 is housed within the receiving groove 11, facilitating packaging and transportation together with the module body. When the photovoltaic module needs to be installed and used, the position of the electronic component 30 is adjusted using the mounting component 40, ensuring that at least part of the electronic component 30 is exposed in the receiving groove 11 for connection and use. This photovoltaic module structure not only facilitates packaging and transportation but also facilitates installation and use of the photovoltaic module at the application site.

[0042] Specifically, the laminate 10 may include a front panel, an encapsulating film layer, a battery cell layer, and a back panel. The front panel, encapsulating film layer, and back panel are stacked sequentially. The battery cell layer is embedded in the encapsulating film layer, and the encapsulating film layer covers the battery cell layer from all sides to provide encapsulation and protection. The battery cell layer is formed by multiple battery cells that are electrically interconnected. The laminate 10 has a front side and a back side, with the front side of the laminate 10 being the side that receives incident light.

[0043] After the laminate 10 is laminated, a frame 20 is installed around the laminate 10 to form the module body. The frame 20 can be set around part or all of the laminate 10. The side of the frame 20 facing the back of the laminate 10 has a mounting part. The mounting part protrudes from the back of the laminate 10 so that the photovoltaic module can be installed and fixed between the photovoltaic bracket or the mounting plane by using the mounting part of the frame 20.

[0044] Furthermore, in the component body, the frame 20 and the laminate 10 enclose and form a receiving groove 11, and the electronic component 30 is disposed in the receiving groove 11. The electronic component 30 and the frame 20 are connected and fixed by the mounting component 40. In addition, the mounting component 40 can also adjust the installation position of the electronic component 30 in the component body, and can adjust the usage state of the electronic component 30 so that the electronic component 30 can switch between storage state and working state.

[0045] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the electronic component 30 is completely housed in the receiving groove 11. At this time, along the thickness direction of the laminate 10, the side end face of the electronic component 30 facing away from the laminate 10 is not higher than the side end face of the frame 20 facing away from the laminate 10. In this way, the frame 20 can protect the electronic component 30, and at the same time, it is convenient for the stacking and packaging of multiple photovoltaic modules, avoiding interference between the electronic component 30 and other structures.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 15 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the working state, the electronic component 30 is at least partially exposed in the receiving groove 11. At this time, along the thickness direction of the laminate 10, the side end face of the electronic component 30 facing away from the laminate 10 is at least partially higher than the side end face of the frame 20 facing away from the laminate 10, so as to facilitate the connection or installation of the electronic component 30 with other components other than the photovoltaic module.

[0047] Understandably, in traditional photovoltaic (PV) modules, after manufacturing, the module body and electronic components 30 are packaged, stored, and transported separately. However, at the installation site, the electronic components 30 need to be manually installed and secured to the module body. Using the traditional PV module structure, workers at the installation site must assemble the electronic components 30 to the module body using adhesives or screws. Because the module body and electronic components 30 are packaged separately, packaging and transportation costs increase. Furthermore, on-site installation requires additional fasteners or adhesives, making the process cumbersome and labor-intensive.

[0048] Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting an mounting component 40 in the photovoltaic module, the electronic component 30 is installed and fixed into the module body during the factory processing stage. This simplifies the packaging process and reduces packaging and transportation costs when the photovoltaic module is packaged and transported as a whole at the factory. Furthermore, during packaging and transportation, the electronic component 30 can be adjusted to a storage state, allowing it to be stored entirely within the receiving slot 11 in the module body, facilitating the stacking of multiple photovoltaic modules and saving space.

[0049] At the photovoltaic module installation site, workers only need to perform corresponding operations on the installation component 40 to adjust the electronic component 30 from the storage state to the working state, so that the electronic component 30 is at least partially exposed in the receiving groove 11, so as to facilitate the connection and assembly of the electronic component 30 with other components. Moreover, using the photovoltaic module structure of this application, there is no need to provide separate fasteners or adhesives or other auxiliary accessories, which not only simplifies the operation process, but also reduces installation costs.

[0050] It should be noted that the electronic components 30 in this application include, but are not limited to, inverters, smart optimizers, and shutdown devices. The electronic components 30 can be electrically connected to the solar cells in the laminate 10 to control the power generation performance of the photovoltaic module.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the electronic component 30 is provided with a connecting part 301, which is used to connect with the mounting assembly 40. The connecting part 301 is provided with a mounting hole, and a fastener can be passed through the mounting hole in the connecting part 301 to connect and fix it to the mounting assembly 40. The specific structure of the connecting part 301 can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0052] In specific applications, the electronic component 30 can be disposed on the back side of the laminate 10 to reduce the influence of the electronic component 30 on the light received by the laminate 10. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the frame 20 has a B-side, a C-side, and a D-side on the side facing the back of the laminate 10 for mounting and connection. The mounting assembly 40 can be connected and fixed to at least one of the B-side, C-side, and D-side of the frame 20.

[0053] Specifically, fasteners such as screws and bolts can be used to connect and fix the mounting component 40 to the mounting part of the frame 20. For example, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, fasteners such as round-head bolts and T-bolts can be used to connect the mounting assembly 40 to the mounting portion B or D of the frame 20; or, as shown... Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, fasteners such as screws can also be used to connect the mounting component 40 to the C-side of the mounting portion of the frame 20. This achieves both the connection and fixation of the mounting component 40 and the frame 20, without affecting the overall appearance of the photovoltaic module.

[0054] Optionally, the end face of the laminate 10 facing the electronic component 30 is the first end face 12, and the end face of the electronic component 30 facing the laminate 10 is the second end face 31; as shown Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the maximum gap size between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 is D1; Figure 4 and Figure 15 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the working state, the minimum gap size between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 is D2, which satisfies: D2 > D1.

[0055] In this embodiment, the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 varies under different usage conditions. In storage, the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 is relatively small to facilitate storage and transportation of the electronic component 30 and the module body. When the photovoltaic module is installed and used, the position of the electronic component 30 is adjusted by the mounting component 40 to increase the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10. This facilitates the connection and use of the electronic component 30 with other components and also increases the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 to facilitate heat dissipation, thereby improving the overall performance of the photovoltaic module.

[0056] It is understandable that, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 are parallel or nearly parallel, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electronic component 30. At this time, the distance between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 is the maximum gap size D1. When the electronic component 30 is in the working state, the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 can be parallel or not parallel. When the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 are not parallel, the minimum gap size D2 is the minimum distance between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 14 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the maximum gap dimension D1 between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 satisfies: 2mm≤D1≤10mm.

[0058] In this application, by setting the spacing range between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 in the storage state, it is possible to ensure that the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 have a certain gap, so as to avoid the electronic component 30 directly contacting the laminate 10 during the storage and transportation of the photovoltaic module and causing damage to the laminate 10. At the same time, it also avoids that the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 is too large, which would increase the overall volume of the photovoltaic module and affect the installation and use of the photovoltaic module.

[0059] Specifically, when the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the maximum gap size D1 can be set to any value or a range between any two values, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 15 As shown, when the electronic component 30 is in the working state, the minimum gap dimension D2 between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31 satisfies: 4mm≤D2≤15mm.

[0061] In this application, by setting the spacing range between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 in the working state, a certain gap is ensured between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10, which is beneficial for heat dissipation between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10. At the same time, it also avoids that the gap between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 is too large, which would increase the overall volume of the photovoltaic module and affect the installation and use of the photovoltaic module.

[0062] Specifically, when the electronic component 30 is in operation, the minimum gap size D2 can be set to any value or a range between any two values, such as 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, or 15mm.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the mounting assembly 40 includes a first adapter 41 and a fixing member 42. One end of the first adapter 41 is connected to the frame 20, and the other end of the first adapter 41 is provided with a first hole 411 and a second hole 412. The side face of the laminate 10 facing the electronic component 30 is a first end face 12. The distance from the center of the first hole 411 to the first end face 12 is less than the distance from the center of the second hole 412 to the first end face 12. When the electronic component 30 is in the storage state, the fixing member 42 passes through the first hole 411 and is fixedly connected to the electronic component 30 so that the electronic component 30 is housed in the receiving groove 11. When the electronic component 30 is in the working state, the fixing member 42 passes through the second hole 412 and is fixedly connected to the electronic component 30 so that the electronic component 30 is at least partially exposed in the receiving groove 11.

[0064] In this embodiment, a first hole 411 and a second hole 412 are provided at the end of the first adapter 41 away from the frame 20, and the second hole 412 is positioned higher than the first hole 411 relative to the laminate 10. Therefore, during photovoltaic module storage and transportation, the electronic component 30 can be connected to the first hole 411 of the first adapter 41 via the fastener 42, allowing the electronic component 30 to be housed within the receiving groove 11, reducing the space occupied by the electronic component 30. During photovoltaic module installation and use, the electronic component 30 can be connected to the second hole 412 of the first adapter 41 via the fastener 42 to adjust the height of the electronic component 30, ensuring that at least part of the electronic component 30 is exposed within the receiving groove 11, facilitating the connection and use of the electronic component 30 with other components.

[0065] It should be noted that the first adapter 41 has a mounting surface at the end facing the electronic component 30, and a first hole 411 and a second hole 412 are provided in the mounting surface. After the first adapter 41 is connected to the frame 20, the laminate 10 is used to set one end face of the electronic component 30 as the first end face 12. The first end face 12 can be the back of the laminate 10, so that the height of the center of the first hole 411 from the first end face 12 of the laminate 10 is greater than the height of the center of the second hole 412 from the first end face 12 of the laminate 10. The center refers to the geometric center of the corresponding hole structure.

[0066] In specific applications, the fastener 42 can be a detachable fastener such as a bolt or screw. When the photovoltaic module leaves the factory, the fastener 42 passes through the first hole 411 and is connected to the electronic component 30. The electronic component 30 is then connected and fixed to the frame 20 using the first adapter 41, and the electronic component 30 is located in the receiving groove 11, which facilitates the overall stacking, packaging and transportation of the photovoltaic module.

[0067] When the photovoltaic module is installed and used, the position of the electronic component 30 can be adjusted by simply adjusting the connection position between the electronic component 30 and the first adapter 41, so that the fixing part 42 passes through the second hole 412 and connects with the electronic component 30. This makes the operation simple and convenient.

[0068] It is understood that the structures of the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 can be the same or different. Furthermore, the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 can be separated from each other or connected to each other. The specific structure and location of the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 can be flexibly set according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a transition hole 413 is provided between the first hole 411 and the second hole 412. The transition hole 413 connects the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 to form a through hole structure 410. The fixing member 42 can move between the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 to switch the electronic component 30 between the storage state and the working state.

[0070] In this embodiment, a transition hole 413 is provided between the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 to connect the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 to form a through hole structure 410. In this way, the fastener 42 passes through the first hole 411 and is connected to the electronic component 30 to fix the electronic component 30 to the frame 20. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the electronic component 30, it is only necessary to move the connection position of the fastener 42 from the first hole 411 to the second hole 412 to adjust the position of the electronic component 30. It is not necessary to disassemble and reassemble the fastener 42, which can simplify the operation steps and improve the operation efficiency.

[0071] In practical applications, before the photovoltaic modules leave the factory, the fastener 42 can be connected to the electronic component 30 through the first hole 411 in the first adapter 41 to fix the electronic component 30 to the module body. This allows the electronic component 30 to be packaged and transported together with the module body, reducing packaging and transportation costs. Furthermore, when the photovoltaic modules need to be installed and used at the construction site, the fastener 42 can be moved from the first hole 411 through the transition hole 413 to the second hole 412 to adjust the position of the electronic component 30, switching it from a storage state to a working state. This operation is simple and convenient, saving the steps of disassembling and installing the fastener 42, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0072] The first adapter 41 may be provided with at least two hole structures 410, which are spaced apart, so that the electronic component 30 is connected to the at least two hole structures 410 respectively, thereby improving the connection stability and firmness.

[0073] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side of the laminate 10 facing the electronic component 30 is the first end face 12, and the orthographic projection of the first hole 411 on the first end face 12 is at least partially offset from the orthographic projection of the second hole 412 on the first end face 12.

[0074] In this embodiment of the application, by making the orthographic projection of the first hole 411 on the first end face 12 at least partially offset from the orthographic projection of the second hole 412 on the first end face 12, that is, along the direction perpendicular to the first end face 12, the center of the first hole 411 and the center of the second hole 412 are not on the same straight line. This facilitates the processing of the first hole 411 and the second hole 412 in the first adapter 41, and also facilitates identification and error prevention during the assembly operation.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the mounting assembly 40 also includes a limiting member 43, which is detachably connected to the first adapter 41 and is used to limit the movement of the fixing member 42 between the first hole 411 and the second hole 412.

[0076] In this application, a detachable limiting member 43 is provided on the first adapter 41, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, during the storage and transportation of photovoltaic modules, the fastener 42 can be secured to the position of the first hole 411. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, when installing and using the photovoltaic module, the limiting member 43 is removed to release the restriction on the fixing member 42, allowing the fixing member 42 to move from the first hole 411 to the second hole 412, thus adjusting the electronic component 30 from the storage state to the working state. Then, by reinstalling the limiting member 43 onto the first adapter 41, the fixing member 42 can be restricted to the position of the second hole 412 using the limiting member 43.

[0077] In specific applications, the limiting member 43 can be a stop, a latch, or other structural member that can restrict the movement of the fixing member 42 between the first hole 411 and the second hole 412. It can be flexibly set according to the actual situation and is not limited here.

[0078] Optionally, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the first adapter 41 has a first protrusion 414 and a second protrusion 415 on the side facing the electronic component 30; the first protrusion 414 and the second protrusion 415 are respectively located on both sides of the hole structure 410, one end of the limiting member 43 is detachably connected to the first protrusion 414; the other end of the limiting member 43 is engaged with the second protrusion 415.

[0079] In this embodiment, by providing a first protrusion 414 and a second protrusion 415 on both sides of the hole structure 410 formed by the first hole 411 and the second hole 412, one end of the limiting member 43 is detachably connected to the first protrusion 414, and the other end is engaged with the second protrusion 415. Thus, the limiting member 43 can be used to limit and fix the fixing member 42. At the same time, the limiting member 43 can be removed to release the limitation on the fixing member 42. After adjusting the position of the fixing member 42, the upper limiting member 43 can be installed to limit the fixing member 42 again. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0080] The limiting member 43 and the fixing member 42 can be in contact with each other to achieve the limiting function; alternatively, the limiting member 43 and the fixing member 42 can not be in contact, with the limiting member 43 serving as a pre-limiting function for the fixing member 42. This can be flexibly configured according to actual needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the limiting member 43 includes a body portion 431 and a snap-fit ​​portion 432. Both ends of the body portion 431 are provided with snap-fit ​​portions 432. The first adapter 41 has two first protrusions 414 on the side facing the electronic component 30. The two first protrusions 414 are spaced apart. The first protrusions 414 have snap-fit ​​holes 4141 and the second protrusions 415 have snap-fit ​​grooves 4151. The snap-fit ​​portion 432 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​hole 4141. The middle part of the body portion 431 has a bent structure 4311, and the bent structure 4311 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 4151.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, by setting the structure of the limiting member 43, the snap-fit ​​portions 432 at both ends of the limiting member 43 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​holes 4141 in the first protrusion 414, and the bending structure 4311 in the middle part of the main body 431 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 4151 of the second protrusion 415, so that the limiting member 43 and the first adapter 41 can be detachably connected, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the limiting member 43.

[0083] Specifically, the limiting member 43 can be in the shape of a "Z" shape. The two ends of the limiting member 43 are provided with locking parts 432. The two locking parts 432 are respectively locked into the two oppositely arranged first protrusions 414. The middle part of the limiting member 43 is in the shape of a bent structure 4311. After the locking parts 432 at both ends of the limiting member 43 are locked into the locking holes 4141 in the first protrusions 414, the middle part of the limiting member 43 can be locked into the locking groove 4151 in the second protrusion 415, thereby realizing the fixation of the limiting member 43, so that the limiting member 43 can play a limiting role for the fixing member 42.

[0084] When it is necessary to release the restriction on the fixing member 42, the engagement between the middle part of the limiting member 43 and the slot 4151 in the second protrusion 415 can be released first. Then, by pressing the limiting member 43 from both sides, the limiting member 43 will elastically deform, causing the locking parts 432 at both ends of the limiting member 43 to disengage from the locking holes 4141 in the first protrusion 414, thereby allowing the limiting member 43 to be removed. After adjusting the position of the fixing member 42, the limiting member 43 can be reinstalled on the first adapter 41, and the limiting member 43 will once again limit the fixing member 42.

[0085] Optionally, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the mounting assembly 40 includes a second adapter 51 and a third adapter 52. The second adapter 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 20, and the third adapter 52 is rotatably connected to the second adapter 51. The electronic component 30 is fixedly connected to the third adapter 52. The third adapter 52 can rotate relative to the second adapter 51 to adjust the electronic component 30 to switch between a storage state and an operating state.

[0086] In this embodiment, the electronic component 30 is connected to the frame 20 via the second adapter 51 and the third adapter 52. The third adapter 52 is rotatably connected to the second adapter 51. Therefore, during the storage and transportation of the photovoltaic module, the electronic component 30 can be housed within the receiving slot 11. When the electronic component 30 is needed, rotating the third adapter 52 moves the electronic component 30 away from the laminate 10, thereby adjusting the distance between the sub-component and the laminate 10. The mounting assembly 40 of this embodiment not only allows for switching between the storage and operating states of the electronic component 30, but also enables flexible adjustment of the distance between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10 during the operating state to meet different usage scenarios.

[0087] Specifically, the electronic component 30 is connected to the frame 20 via the second adapter 51 and the third adapter 52. The end face of the laminate 10 facing the electronic component 30 is the first end face 12, and the end face of the electronic component 30 facing the laminate 10 is the second end face 31. Figure 14 As shown, during the storage and transportation of photovoltaic modules, the electronic component 30 is located entirely within the receiving groove 11. The second end face 31 of the electronic component 30 can be parallel to the first end face 12 of the laminate 10. There is a certain gap between the first end face 12 and the second end face 31, and the gap is relatively small.

[0088] like Figure 15As shown, during the installation and use of the photovoltaic module, rotating the third adapter 52 moves the electronic component 30 relative to the laminate 10, thereby increasing the distance between the second end face 31 of the electronic component 30 and the first end face 12 of the laminate 10. This allows the electronic component 30 to be at least partially exposed in the receiving groove 11, facilitating its connection and use. At this time, the second end face 31 of the electronic component 30 and the first end face 12 of the laminate 10 form a certain working angle α, which can be any angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°. Furthermore, during the use of the photovoltaic module, the working angle α can be adjusted by rotating the third adapter 52 as needed, thereby meeting different usage requirements and making the use more flexible and convenient.

[0089] For example, such as Figure 15 As shown, on-site operators can adjust the position of the electronic component 30 by rotating the third adapter 52, so that the working angle α between the second end face 31 of the electronic component 30 and the first end face 12 of the laminate 10 is 10°. At this time, the end of the electronic component 30 away from the third adapter 52 is exposed in the receiving groove 11. The minimum distance between the second end face 31 and the first end face 12 is 3.3mm (that is, the minimum gap size D2 mentioned above), and the maximum distance between the second end face 31 and the first end face 12 is 29.76mm. This facilitates the connection and use of the electronic component 30, and also facilitates the heat dissipation between the electronic component 30 and the laminate 10.

[0090] Of course, during the installation and use of photovoltaic modules, the working angle α between the second end face 31 of electronic component 30 and the first end face 12 of laminate 10 can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, and is not limited here.

[0091] Optionally, such as Figures 16 to 18 As shown, the mounting assembly 40 also includes a pin 53, a first rotating part 511 is provided in the second adapter 51, a second rotating part 521 is provided in the third adapter 52, the pin 53 passes through the first rotating part 511 and the second rotating part 521, and the second adapter 51 is rotatably connected to the third adapter 52 through the pin 53.

[0092] Specifically, a first mating hole is provided in the first rotating part 511 of the second adapter 51, and a second mating hole is provided in the second rotating part 521 of the third adapter 52. The pin 53 passes through the first mating hole and the second mating hole respectively. The third adapter 52 can rotate relative to the second adapter 51 around the pin 53, thereby driving the electronic component 30 to move relative to the laminate 10.

[0093] Both the second adapter 51 and the third adapter 52 can be made of sheet metal, which facilitates processing and reduces production costs. The pin 53 can be made of bolts, rivets, or other materials, and can be flexibly configured according to actual needs; no limitation is made here.

[0094] Specifically, such as Figure 17 As shown, the third adapter 52 includes a first connecting section 522, a second connecting section 523, and a bending section 524. The first connecting section 522 is provided with a second rotating part 521, which can be rotatably connected to the second adapter 51. The second connecting section 523 is provided with a mounting hole, which can be fixedly connected to the electronic component 30. The first connecting section 522 and the second connecting section 523 are connected by the bending section 524.

[0095] Optionally, the pin 53 is a damping shaft. In this application, the pin 53 is a damping shaft, so that when the rotation operation of the third adapter 52 is stopped during the adjustment of the position of the electronic component 30, the damping effect of the damping shaft can keep the third adapter 52 at a preset position, thus preventing the third adapter 52 from wobbling up and down.

[0096] Specifically, the damping shaft may include a shaft and damping washers. The shaft passes through the first rotating part 511 and the second rotating part 521 respectively. Damping washers are provided between the shaft and the first rotating part 511 and / or between the shaft and the second rotating part 521 to increase the rotational friction between the shaft and the first rotating part 511 and / or between the shaft and the second rotating part 521, thereby achieving a damping effect. Of course, other damping structures can also be used in the damping mechanism, which are not limited here.

[0097] Optionally, such as Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the second adapter 51 has a limiting part 512 on the side facing the laminate 10; the limiting part 512 extends from the second adapter 51 to the third adapter 52 and cooperates with the third adapter 52 to limit the rotation position of the third adapter 52 toward the laminate 10.

[0098] In this embodiment, by providing a limiting part 512 on one side of the second adapter 51 toward the laminate 10, the limiting part 512 can limit the third adapter 52, thereby restricting the rotation position of the third adapter 52 toward the laminate 10. In this way, the electronic component 30 can be prevented from moving toward the laminate 10 and causing damage to the laminate 10.

[0099] Optionally, embodiments of this application also provide a photovoltaic system, including the photovoltaic modules described in the above embodiments.

[0100] In this embodiment, by providing an mounting component 40 in the photovoltaic module, the electronic component 30 can be mounted and fixed to the frame 20 in the module body. Furthermore, the mounting component 40 allows adjustment of the position of the electronic component 30 within the module body, enabling it to switch between storage and operational states. Moreover, when the photovoltaic module needs to be stored or transported, the electronic component 30 is housed within the receiving groove 11, facilitating packaging and transportation together with the module body. When the photovoltaic module needs to be installed and used, the position of the electronic component 30 is adjusted using the mounting component 40, ensuring that at least part of the electronic component 30 is exposed in the receiving groove 11 for connection and use. This photovoltaic module structure not only facilitates packaging and transportation but also facilitates installation and use of the photovoltaic module at the application site.
