[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] This utility model is an improvement made to address the shortcomings of existing brackets that require drilling holes for installation and fixation.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 As shown in Embodiment 1, an adjustable bracket for mounting solar panels includes a guide rail body 1, which is made of aluminum profile. A horizontal groove 102 is provided on the top of the guide rail body 1, into which a solar panel frame can be directly embedded, or a locking block 2 can be installed to fix the guide rail body. symmetrical locking grooves 103 are provided at the edges of both sides of the horizontal groove 102. A side groove 105 is provided on the lower side of the guide rail body 1, and symmetrical locking grooves 106 are provided at the edges of both sides of the side groove 105. The locking grooves effectively fix the solar panel frame. A continuous corrugated structure 104 is provided on the outer surface of the guide rail body 1 to increase the interlocking degree when connected to L-shaped fittings, making the connection tighter and more secure.

[0022] The cross-section of the card block 2 is trapezoidal, and an uneven step 201 is provided on the bottom surface of the card block 2. Concave arc surfaces 202 are provided on both sides of the card block 2. Threaded holes 203 are provided on the surface of the card block 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom wall of the transverse groove 102 is provided with an uneven step bottom surface 101. The uneven step bottom surface 101 can be arbitrarily rotated and installed in the transverse groove 102, corresponding to the concave arc surface 202 and the uneven step 201 provided on the card block 2.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the side groove 105 is provided with an uneven bottom surface and an uneven side surface structure 107, which is also to facilitate the arbitrary rotation and installation of the locking block 2 in the side groove 105.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the locking block 2 and the guide rail body 1 cooperate with each other, and the surface of the locking block 2 is provided with threaded holes for bolt 4 to be installed.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the L-angle fitting 3 is fixed to the guide rail body 1. The L-angle fitting 3 has an elongated hole. The continuous corrugated structure on the outer side of the guide rail body 1 matches the L-angle fitting 3. The installation height is adjustable. The clip 2 is embedded in the side groove 105. The bolts 4 are inserted into the elongated hole on the L-angle fitting 3 and the threaded hole in the clip 2 for installation and fixation. The horizontal groove on the top surface of the guide rail body 1 is installed with the solar panel frame.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the T-shaped fitting 5 is fixed to the guide rail body 1. The T-shaped fitting 5 extends into the side groove 105 and cooperates with the continuous corrugated structure on the outer side of the guide rail body 1. The bolt 4 is directly locked onto the T-shaped fitting 5 for installation. The horizontal groove on the top surface of the guide rail body 1 is installed with the solar panel frame.
