The length of the overall frame assembly can be adjusted by adjusting the two independent frame structures to accommodate solar panels of different lengths. At the same time, each of the two frame frames has a strip-shaped mounting hole at both ends of the opposite side to accommodate the mounting hole positions of different solar panels, which improves the compatibility of the overall frame assembly with different solar panels. After adjusting the length between the two frame frames, the nuts of the fastening bolts 13 can be tightened to limit the position of the frame strip 12 relative to its corresponding fitting groove 22, thereby achieving structural stability after the length of the overall frame assembly is adjusted. The overall frame assembly can be fixedly installed by connecting the mounting components through the connecting holes 32 of the two connecting seats 31. The two reinforcing blocks 33 serve to reinforce the connection between the connecting seats 31 and the frame.
