[0038] As shown in the accompanying drawings: Figure 5

[0039] Specifically, the connecting assembly 6 comprises the sticking disc 601, the waterproof damping block 602, the sealing plug 604 and a connecting structure, the waterproof damping block 602 comprises an integral disc-shaped body and a cylindrical body, the cylindrical body is formed by extending from the center position of the lower end face of the disc-shaped body, the upper end face of the disc-shaped body is connected with the lower surface of the sticking disc, the outer annular face of the cylindrical body is concave to form the arc-shaped water guide groove, the sealing plug 604 is closed and connected to the lower end face of the cylindrical body, and the connecting structure is located below the sealing plug 604, and the connecting structure is used for connecting the connecting assembly to an external structure.

[0041] The connecting assembly 6 further comprises a water-blocking strip 605 installed on the periphery of the sealing plug 604, and the cross section of the sealing plug 604 is in the shape of an inverted cone.

[0042] The connecting assembly 6 further comprises a nut 608 rotatably installed on the periphery of the bolt 606, and the periphery of the bolt 606 above the nut 608 is sleeved with a waterproof ring 607.

[0043] The smallest diameter of the sealing plug 604 is the same as the diameter of the bolt 606, and the largest diameter of the sealing plug 604 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 606.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, after the sealing plug 604 in the shape of an inverted cone is inserted into the corresponding bolt hole on the external structure, the bolt hole is sealed by the sealing plug 604, and at the same time, the water on the outer ring of the sealing plug 604 is shielded and guided by the water-blocking strip 605, so as to avoid the penetration of water into the external structure through the through hole.

[0045] By sleeving the waterproof ring 607 on the periphery of the bolt 606 and rotatably assembling the nut 608 on the periphery of the bolt 606, the waterproof ring 607 is pushed upward by rotating the nut 608, and the through hole is also sealed, so that the device is more stable.

[0051] The back plate layer 103 is made of a waterproof and moisture-proof polyimide material.

[0052] As can be seen from the above, the transparent protective layer 101 made of fluoroplastic film can effectively block foreign objects such as sand, branches, and stones from scratching and impacting the internal lightweight flexible solar cell array 102, avoiding physical damage to the lightweight flexible solar cell array 102, greatly ensuring the integrity of the lightweight flexible solar cell array 102, maintaining its normal power generation performance, and having excellent light transmission performance with a light transmittance of not less than 90%. This allows sunlight to pass through smoothly and reach the lower lightweight flexible solar cell array 102 almost unimpeded, ensuring that the lightweight flexible solar cell array 102 can fully absorb solar energy and then efficiently convert light energy into electrical energy.

Working in conjunction with the silicone frame 2, it ensures that the module can maintain a tight connection between the layers even under complex stress conditions such as bending and vibration, preventing the lightweight flexible solar cell 102 from shifting or loosening, and further guaranteeing the durability of the module.

[0055] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that positioning holes 3 are provided at the four corners of the top of the silicone frame 2, and metal rings are fitted on the inner wall of the positioning holes 3.

[0056] As can be seen from the above, by opening the positioning holes 3 at the four corners of the top of the silicone frame 2, the pins can be used to connect with the external structure through the positioning holes 3 during use, thereby limiting the position of the device from the four corners of the silicone frame 2, making the device more stable. The metal ring on the inner wall of the positioning hole 3 can improve the overall strength of the silicone frame 2.
