Taking the photovoltaic panel in the middle as the reference, the two sets of secondary connecting cables 5 are located on both sides of the photovoltaic panel in the middle. There are four sets of main stabilizing rods 601 and two sets of secondary stabilizing rods. The two sets of main stabilizing rods 601 are respectively connected to the main connecting cables 4 located below the photovoltaic panel in the middle. The two sets of main stabilizing rods 601 are respectively connected to the main connecting cables 4 located on the outer edges of both sides of the photovoltaic panel in the middle. The two sets of secondary stabilizing rods are respectively connected to the main connecting cables 4 located on both sides of the photovoltaic panel in the middle.
