Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar panel technology, and in particular to a vertical installation structure for solar panels. Background Technology
[0002] Energy is the most fundamental driving force for global development and economic growth, and the foundation upon which humanity depends for survival. Since the Industrial Revolution, energy security issues have emerged. As human society's demand for energy increases, energy security has become increasingly intertwined with political and economic security. However, while enjoying the benefits of energy-driven economic development and technological progress, humanity also faces a series of unavoidable energy security challenges. Energy shortages, resource competition, and environmental pollution caused by excessive energy use directly threaten human survival and development. Solar energy is an inexhaustible energy source, and photovoltaic power generation is currently the most important way to utilize solar energy worldwide. Faced with the severe fossil fuel crisis and environmental crisis currently facing the world, photovoltaic power generation has obvious advantages from the perspectives of resource sustainability and environmental friendliness. As an important representative of emerging industries globally, it has broad development prospects in the long term. Therefore, we achieve this through photovoltaic conversion of solar cells into photovoltaic cells. It is completely different from other power generation principles and has the following characteristics: ① no risk of depletion, ② absolutely clean and pollution-free, ③ not limited by the geographical distribution of resources, ④ can generate electricity near the point of use, ⑤ high energy quality, ⑥ easily accepted by users, and ⑦ short time to obtain energy. The drawback is the low energy distribution density of the irradiated solar panels, requiring a large area. For example, while numerous photovoltaic power plants have been built, they also occupy significant space. To address this issue, we considered utilizing the building itself for photovoltaic installation. Rooftops are currently one of the most common installation locations, especially for residential and commercial buildings. Roofs provide a flat installation surface with less shading. Some advanced building designs can even mount photovoltaic panels on walls to save space and offer a unique visual effect. However, rooftop and wall installation methods are more complex, involving significant work at heights and requiring highly skilled installers. Furthermore, the installation surfaces are typically angled, making the process cumbersome and costly. Utility Model Content
