Figures 1-5As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, a flipping assembly 2, a flipping frame 3, a mounting plate 4, a photovoltaic panel 5, and a snow removal assembly 6. The flipping assembly 2 is mounted on top of the base plate 1, the flipping frame 3 is mounted on top of the flipping assembly 2, the mounting plate 4 is positioned on top of the flipping frame 3, the photovoltaic panel 5 is positioned on top of the mounting plate 4, and the snow removal assembly 6 is mounted on the mounting plate 4. The snow removal assembly 6 includes a movable frame 61, a lead screw slide 62, a movable plate 621, a lifting seat 63, a lifting shaft 64, a lifting gear 65, a lifting motor 66, a heating component 67, a sweeping component 68, two slide rails 69, two guide rods 691, two lifting frames 692, and two lifting racks 693. The two slide rails 69 are symmetrically arranged... The top of the mounting plate 4 has the movable frame 61 slidably mounted on two slide rails 69. The lead screw slide 62 is located on the top of the mounting plate 4. The movable plate 621 is mounted on the movable end of the lead screw slide 62 and is connected to the bottom outer wall of the movable frame 61. Two guide rods 691 are symmetrically arranged at the inner top of the movable frame 61. Two lifting frames 692 are slidably mounted on the two guide rods 691.

The lifting motor 66 is horizontally mounted on the outer wall of the lifting seat 63, and its output shaft is connected to the lifting shaft 64. The heating component 67 and the sweeping component 68 are respectively mounted at the bottom of the two lifting frames 692. The flipping component 2 drives the flipping frame 3 to flip, and the flipping frame 3 uses the mounting plate 4 to drive the photovoltaic panel 5 to flip, ensuring that the angle of the photovoltaic panel 5 can better absorb sunlight.

The lifting gear 65 then uses the two lifting racks 693 to drive the two lifting frames 692 to move relative to each other on the two guide rods 691. A lifting frame 692 moves the heating component 67 downwards to the snow near the photovoltaic panel 5. Then, the screw slide 62 operates, using the moving plate 621 to move the moving frame 61 on two slide rails 69.

[0027] Specifically, the sweeping component 68 includes a second horizontal plate 681, a U-shaped seat 682, and a brush plate 683. The second horizontal plate 681 is installed at the bottom of the lifting frame 692, the U-shaped seat 682 is located at the bottom of the second horizontal plate 681, and the brush plate 683 is located at the bottom end of the U-shaped seat 682.
