Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic system technology, and in particular to an installation structure for a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Among the existing installation methods for photovoltaic (PV) modules, one is "top-mounting," where installers need to stand on the PV modules to operate them. This can potentially cause tiny, barely noticeable cracks, affecting the power generation efficiency and safety of the modules. The other method is "bottom-mounting," where the PV modules are installed below them. This requires sufficient space beneath the mounting structure, making it difficult to use on rooftops. Therefore, both existing PV module installation methods present inconveniences. Utility Model Content

[0075] This application proposes an installation structure for photovoltaic modules.

[0076] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment of this application, the mounting structure 10 of the photovoltaic module 20 includes a base 100, a partition 200, a first pressing part 300, and a second pressing part 400. The base 100 has a support surface 110. The bottom of the partition 200 is erected on the support surface 110 and divides the support surface 110 into a first support surface 111 and a second support surface 112. The first support surface 111 and the second support surface 112 are respectively located on opposite sides of the partition 200. The first pressing part 300 protrudes from the top of the partition 200 and is fixed to the partition 200. The second pressing part 400 protrudes from the top of the partition 200 and is detachably disposed from the partition 200.

[0077] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The installation structure 10 can be installed inside the water tank 30, corresponding to the side of the photovoltaic module 20. That is, the installation structure 10 can be installed on both sides of the photovoltaic module 20.

[0078] The second pressing part 400 and the partition part 200 are detachably configured. The second pressing part 400 can be directly and detachably connected to the partition part 200, or the second pressing part 400 can be detachably connected to other structures, such as the base 100 or the first pressing part 300, so that the second pressing part 400 can be separated from the partition part 200.

[0079] Please see Figure 8 When the mounting structure 10 is positioned between the first photovoltaic module 21 and the second photovoltaic module 22, the first support surface 111 supports one side of the first photovoltaic module 21, and the first clamping part 300 clamps the first photovoltaic module 21 placed on the first support surface 111 to prevent displacement or loosening. Thus, the first support surface 111 and the first clamping part 300 together achieve the installation and fixation of one side of the first photovoltaic module 21. The second support surface 112 supports the other side of the second photovoltaic module 22, and the second clamping part 400 clamps the second photovoltaic module 22 placed on the second support surface 112 to prevent displacement or loosening. Thus, the second support surface 112 and the second clamping part 400 together achieve the installation and fixation of one side of the second photovoltaic module 22.

[0080] For example, regarding the installation process of the second photovoltaic module 22, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 The second clamping part 400 may not be installed on the mounting structure 10 on the side where the first side 22a of the second photovoltaic module 22 is located. The state of the mounting structure 10 on this side is as follows. Figure 3As shown, after the second side 22b of the second photovoltaic module is tilted into the first support surface 111 and the first clamping part 300 of the corresponding mounting structure 10, the first side 22a of the second photovoltaic module 22 can also be placed on the second support surface 112 without interference. At this time, the cooperation state between the second side 22b and the mounting structure 10 can be referred to Figure 3 The mating state of side 21b of the first photovoltaic module 21 and the mounting structure 10. Please refer to [further details]. Figure 2 After the first side 22a of the second photovoltaic module 22 is placed in place, the second clamping part 400 is installed to clamp the first side 22a. This completes the installation of the second photovoltaic module 22. The disassembly process of the second photovoltaic module 22 is the reverse of the installation process described above, and will not be repeated here. That is, for the same photovoltaic module 20, one side is clamped to the first support surface 111 by the first clamping part 300, and the other side is clamped to the second support surface 112 by the second clamping part 400.

[0081] Therefore, in the technical solution of this application, when installing the photovoltaic module 20, one side of the photovoltaic module 20 can be inserted laterally at an angle between the first support surface 111 and the first clamping part 300 of the corresponding side of the mounting structure 10. Then, when assembling the other side of the photovoltaic module 20, the second clamping part 400 is not installed on the corresponding side of the mounting structure 10. The photovoltaic module 20 can then be placed on the second support surface 112 without interference and can be clamped by the second clamping part 400 after it is installed. When disassembling the photovoltaic module 20, the second clamping part 400 on one side is removed, and the photovoltaic module 20 can be lifted from that side and pulled out laterally. That is, by making the second clamping part 400 detachable, this application can realize the lateral assembly and disassembly of the photovoltaic module 20, thereby improving the convenience of assembly and disassembly of the photovoltaic module 20.

[0082] Moreover, the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20 is formed only by the thickness of the partition 200, or by the thickness of the partition 200, the diameter of the fastener 40, and an appropriate assembly gap. The first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400 are both located above the photovoltaic module 20, which does not affect the installation gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20. This greatly reduces the installation gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20, improves the area utilization rate and wind resistance of the photovoltaic module 20, and reduces the risk of water leakage and splashing.

[0083] Understandably, due to the reduced gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20, more photovoltaic modules 20 can be installed when installing the same row of photovoltaic modules 20. For the entire photovoltaic power station, the number of installed photovoltaic modules 20 increases, the photovoltaic installed capacity per unit area increases, and the overall economic benefits can be improved. On the other hand, after rainwater enters through the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20, it is collected by the water tank 30. The reduction in the gap can reduce the amount of water entering during rainy days, thereby lowering the water level in the water tank 30. The possibility of water splashing outward is greatly reduced, enhancing the overall waterproof function of the photovoltaic system. In addition, the reduction in water flow also reduces the risk of system leakage, reduces metal corrosion, and improves the system life.

[0084] Furthermore, the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400 cooperate with the partition part 200 or the base 100 to fix the photovoltaic module 20 during the connection process, thereby simplifying the structure of the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400 and reducing costs. At the same time, it also enables the positioning and installation of the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400 during the installation process, reducing the installation difficulty. The mounting structure 10 can accommodate the photovoltaic module 20 after it is inserted at an angle and then laid flat, solving the problem of incomplete positioning of the photovoltaic module 20 during the traditional installation process.

[0085] In one embodiment, the second clamping part 400 is detachably connected to the partition part 200 via a fastener 40. The fastener 40 allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the second clamping part 400 and reliable connection, which helps ensure the ease of assembly and disassembly and the installation stability of the photovoltaic module 20. Specifically, the fastener 40 can be configured as a bolt or screw for fastening via a threaded connection, or it can be configured as a pin for fastening via a pin engagement. In other embodiments, the second clamping part 400 can also be detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​engagement.

[0086] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 8 to 10 The second pressing part 400 has a connecting part 410, which is provided with a first mounting hole 411 for the second pressing part 400 to connect. The connecting part 410 is located on the side of the first pressing part 300 away from the support surface 110.

[0087] The connecting part 410 is located on the side of the first clamping part 300 opposite to the support surface 110, i.e., the connecting part 410 is located on top of the first clamping part 300, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the second clamping part 400. The second clamping part 400 is connected to the first clamping part 300 through the connecting part 410, and a fastener 40 passes through the first mounting hole 411 on the connecting part 410 to achieve a detachable connection. The fastener 40 can connect to the first clamping part 300, or it can pass through the first clamping part 300 and connect to the partition part 200 or the base 100, thereby achieving the connection between the second clamping part 400 and at least one of the base 100, the partition part 200, and the first clamping part 300. The connecting part 410 being located on top of the first clamping part 300 ensures that the second clamping part 400 can apply pressure to the photovoltaic module 20 from above, thereby more effectively preventing the photovoltaic module 20 from shifting or loosening when subjected to external forces such as wind loads and vibrations.

[0088] In other embodiments, the connecting portion 410 may also be arranged horizontally with the first pressing portion 300.

[0089] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9a and Figure 9b The partition 200 is provided with a third mounting hole 230 extending through its top. Fasteners 40 are sequentially inserted into the first mounting hole 411 and the third mounting hole 230. The first mounting hole 411 can be a screw hole or a smooth hole, and the third mounting holes 230 can all be configured as screw holes.

[0090] Fasteners 40 are sequentially inserted into the first mounting hole 411 and the third mounting hole 230 to form a complete fixing path, ensuring that the second clamping part 400, the first clamping part 300 and the partition part 200 are tightly connected, greatly enhancing the stability and integrity of the entire mounting structure 10, and making the photovoltaic module 20 more stable when facing external forces such as wind load and vibration.

[0091] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 9a , Figure 9b and Figure 10 The partition 200 is also provided with a cavity 210 that communicates with the third mounting hole 230, and the side wall of the cavity 210 is clearance-fitted with the fastener 40.

[0092] Thus, the cavity 210 is used to accommodate the fastener 40, and there are gaps between the fastener 40 and each sidewall of the cavity 210, which can prevent the sidewall of the cavity 210 from interfering with the fastener 40, and also helps to absorb the expansion or contraction of the material caused by temperature changes or other factors.

[0093] In other embodiments, on the side of the third mounting hole 230 away from the second mounting hole 310, the partition portion 200 may have an opening extending through the distribution direction of the first support surface 111 and the second support surface 112. The structure of this opening and... Figure 13 Similar to the first clearance opening 240 shown, the fastener 40 is inserted into the corresponding opening and fits with the clearance wall of the opening, which can also provide space to absorb deformation.

[0094] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 15 The support surface 110 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart partitions 200. The distribution direction of the first support surface 111 and the second support surface 112 forms an angle with the distribution direction of the plurality of partitions 200. A first clearance opening 240 is formed between two adjacent partitions 200. A first pressing part 300 is provided on the top side of each partition 200. Please refer to [further details]. Figure 13 and Figure 17 The base 100 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 120 corresponding to the first clearance opening 240. The fastener 40 and the first mounting hole 411 are provided corresponding to the first clearance opening 240, and the fastener 40 passes through the first mounting hole 411 and the fourth mounting hole 120.

[0095] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" in this application refers to two or more, that is, it can be set to two, three, four, etc. For ease of description, please refer to... Figure 12 and Figure 15 The first direction is defined as the distribution direction of the first support surface 111 and the second support surface 112, and the second direction is defined as the distribution direction of the multiple partitions 200. The included angle between the first direction and the second direction is preferably 90 degrees or approximately 90 degrees, that is, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular or approximately perpendicular.

[0096] In the second direction, the interval between two adjacent partitions 200 forms a first clearance opening 240, which is used to avoid the fastener 40, so that the fastener 40 can pass through the first mounting hole 411 and the fourth mounting hole 120, realizing a detachable connection between the second clamping part 400 and the seat 100. At the same time, since the two adjacent partitions 200 avoid the fastener 40 through the first clearance opening 240, the fastener 40 and the partition 200 are in a clearance fit, which helps to absorb the expansion or contraction of the material caused by temperature changes or other factors.

[0097] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 11a , Figure 12 and Figure 13The partition 200 is fixed to the base 100. The second pressing part 400 also includes an abutment part 420. The abutment part 420 and the connecting part 410 are connected at an angle, and the abutment part 420 protrudes toward the support surface 110 relative to the connecting part 410.

[0098] The separator 200 is fixedly mounted on the base 100, forming a stable and immovable connection between the separator 200 and the base 100. This fixing method enhances the stability and robustness of the overall structure. The second pressing part 400 also includes an abutment part 420. The angle design between the abutment part 420 and the connecting part 410 allows the abutment part 420 to more effectively contact and press against the photovoltaic module 20 located on the second support surface 112, providing a better fixing effect. The protrusion height of the abutment part 420 can be adjusted according to actual needs to accommodate photovoltaic modules 20 of different thicknesses or types.

[0099] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 17 The base 100 has a first slot 130, please refer to that as well. Figure 15 and Figure 16 The partition 200 is slidably connected to the first slot 130. The second pressing part 400 is provided with a plurality of spaced abutment parts 420. The distribution direction of the plurality of abutment parts 420 is parallel to the distribution direction of the plurality of partition parts 200. The abutment parts 420 protrude from the side of the connecting part 410 facing the support surface 110. Each pair of adjacent abutment parts 420 are limited and fitted to the opposite sides of a first pressing part 300.

[0100] The first slot 130 has a first insertion port 131 that extends horizontally. That is, multiple abutment portions 420 are distributed along the second direction, and the first insertion port 131 extends along the second direction. Alternatively, the first slot 130 may have first insertion ports 131 formed on both opposite sides in the second direction, so that multiple partition portions 200 can be inserted into the first slot 130.

[0101] In this embodiment, after the partition 200 and the base are separately formed, the partition 200 can be inserted into the first slot 130 through the first insertion port 131. Since the partition 200 is slidably connected to the first slot 130, the partition 200 and the base 100 are detachable, facilitating the individual replacement of either the partition 200 or the base 100. The separate design of the partition 200 and the base 100 reduces the processing difficulty of the partition 200 and the base 100, ensuring that the partition 200 and the base 100 can be formed by profile processing without the need for additional milling processes, thereby reducing costs. At the same time, the slidable design of the partition 200 greatly improves the flexibility of the installation structure 10, allowing the position of the partition 200 to be easily adjusted according to the specific size and layout requirements of the second clamping part 400, making the entire system more adaptable to different application scenarios.

[0102] Please refer to the following: Figure 14a The second pressing part 400 presses the photovoltaic module 20 together with the abutment part 420. Because the second pressing part 400 has multiple spaced abutment parts 420, it ensures that the second pressing part 400 can effectively press the photovoltaic module 20, preventing displacement or loosening due to external forces. Please refer to... Figure 15 In the second direction, each pair of adjacent abutment portions 420 are limited to the opposite sides of a first pressing portion 300, restricting the position of the partition portion 200 in the first slot 130, preventing the partition portion 200 from sliding in the first slot 130 and affecting the stability of the mounting structure 10, while also preventing the partition portion 200 from coming out of the first slot 130.

[0103] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 15 The mounting structure 10 also includes a stop 600, which is disposed opposite to the partition 200. The stop 600 is provided with a second clearance 610 corresponding to the first clearance 240.

[0104] Please see Figure 11a and Figure 14a The stop portion 600 can be located on the same side of the partition portion 200 as the second support surface 112. See also... Figure 13 At this time, the fourth mounting hole 120 is partially located on the second support surface 112. Thus, the stop 600 can restrict the position of the first photovoltaic module 21 and prevent the first photovoltaic module 21 from interfering with the fastener 40 when there is no stop.

[0105] Please see Figure 11b and Figure 14b The stop portion 600 can also be located on the same side of the partition portion 200 as the first support surface 111. In this case, the fourth mounting hole 120 is partially located on the first support surface 111 (not shown in the figure). Thus, the stop portion 600 can restrict the position of the second photovoltaic module 22 and prevent the second photovoltaic module 22 from interfering with the fastener 40 when there is no stop.

[0106] Meanwhile, the stop portion 600 is provided with a second clearance opening 610 to allow the fastener 40 to pass, so that there is a clearance fit between the fastener 40 and the stop portion 600, which helps to absorb the expansion or contraction of the material caused by temperature changes or other factors.

[0107] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 18 to 20 The first pressing part 300 is provided with a receiving groove 320. The head of the fastener 40 is received in the receiving groove 320. The width of the groove opening of the receiving groove 320 is smaller than the width of the groove bottom of the receiving groove 320. The part of the rod of the fastener 40 that passes through the second pressing part 400 is threadedly engaged with the nut 50.

[0108] The opening width of the receiving groove 320 is designed to be narrower than the bottom, forming a "narrowing" shape, which effectively prevents the head of the fastener 40 from coming out of the groove. After the rod of the fastener 40 passes through the second clamping part 400, its rod continues to extend and protrude, then engages with the nut 50 through a thread. The head of the fastener 40 and the nut 50 can clamp and lock the edge of the opening of the receiving groove 320 and the second clamping part 400, thereby ensuring that the second clamping part 400 is firmly fixed to the first clamping part 300, and the tightness can be adjusted as needed. The first clamping part 300, the second clamping part 400, and the fastener 40 are all above the partition 200. The gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20 is formed only by the thickness of the partition 200, thereby further compressing the gap between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20.

[0109] In another implementation, please refer to Figures 21 to 23 The first pressing part 300 is provided with a second slot 330. The second slot 330 is provided with a second insertion port 331 through it in the horizontal direction. The connecting part 410 is inserted into the second slot 330 through the second insertion port 331. The side wall of the second slot 330 away from the support surface 110 is provided with a second mounting hole 310. The fastener 40 passes through the first mounting hole 411 and the second mounting hole 310.

[0110] After the connecting part 410 is inserted into the second slot 330, it is fixed to the first clamping part 300 by the fastener 40, ensuring that the second clamping part 400 can be firmly fixed in its required position and preventing displacement or loosening. The design of the second slot 330 and the second socket 331 simplifies the installation steps of the connecting part 410, allowing installers to complete the assembly work more quickly. The design of the connecting part 410 being inserted into the second slot 330 via the second socket 331 makes full use of the space of the first clamping part 300, making the installation structure 10 more compact and reasonable. When maintenance or replacement of the photovoltaic module 20 is required, it is only necessary to loosen the fastener 40 and adjust the position of the connecting part 410, without disassembling the entire system, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.

[0111] After the photovoltaic module 20 is placed on the second support surface 112, the connecting part 410 slides from the second insertion port 331 into the second slot 330, and then the fastener 40 is installed to eliminate the gap between the second clamping part 400 and the photovoltaic module 20. At this point, the photovoltaic module 20 is fixed. Specifically, the fastener 40 passes through the second mounting hole 310 and the first mounting hole 411 in sequence to fix the connecting part 410 onto the first clamping part 300, ensuring the overall stability of the mounting structure 10. At this time, the first clamping part 300, the second clamping part 400, and the fastener 40 are all above the partition part 200. The gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20 is only formed by the thickness of the partition part 200, thereby further compressing the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20. It is worth mentioning that the vertical gap between the connecting part 410 and the second slot 330 exceeds the vertical gap between the abutting part 420 and the photovoltaic module 20 to ensure that the photovoltaic module 20 can be fixed in place.

[0112] In other embodiments, the connecting part 410 may not have the first mounting hole 411, and the fastener 40 may pass through the second mounting hole 310 and directly abut against the surface of the second pressing part 400, and press the second pressing part 400.

[0113] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 24 to 27 The first pressing part 300 is provided with a second mounting hole 310. The axis of the second mounting hole 310 extends parallel to the support surface 110. The first mounting hole 411 and the second mounting hole 310 are coaxially arranged and connected by a fastener 40.

[0114] The axis of the second mounting hole 310 extends parallel to the support surface 110, rather than perpendicular to it. The first mounting hole 411 on the second clamping part 400 and the second mounting hole 310 on the first clamping part 300 are on the same axis, ensuring that the fastener 40 can laterally connect the first mounting hole 411 and the second mounting hole 310, achieving a stable connection between the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400. Understandably, after the fastener 40 is inserted into the first mounting hole 411 and the second mounting hole 310 from the side, tightening the fastener 40 connects the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400 together by rotation. At this time, the first clamping part 300, the second clamping part 400, and the fastener 40 are all above the partition 200. The second clamping part 400 is mounted on the side of the first clamping part 300, and the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20 is formed only by the thickness of the partition 200, thereby further compressing the gap between the two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20.

[0115] Specifically, the fastener 40 is inserted from one side of the first mounting hole 411. The diameter of the first mounting hole 411 is larger than the diameter of the second mounting hole 310. The diameter of the second mounting hole 310 is matched with the outer diameter of the shank of the fastener 40. Thus, the diameter of the first mounting hole 411 is also larger than the outer diameter of the shank of the fastener 40, making it easier and less strenuous for the fastener 40 to pass through the first mounting hole 411. The fastener 40 can be screwed together with the shank and the second mounting hole 310, and its head can be pressed against the side of the second clamping part 400 away from the first clamping part 300, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400.

[0116] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 25 and Figure 27 The second pressing part 400 also includes an abutting part 420 and a positioning part 430. The positioning part 430 protrudes toward the support surface 110 relative to the connecting part 410, and the abutting part 420 protrudes toward the side where the second support surface 112 is located relative to the connecting part 410. The positioning part 430 and the abutting part 420 are respectively used to abut the adjacent sides of the photovoltaic module 20.

[0117] The positioning part 430 is used to abut against the side wall of the photovoltaic module 20 to ensure that the abutment part 420 can be accurately positioned and to prevent the abutment part 420 from rotating and detaching from the photovoltaic module 20 under wind or vibration. The abutment part 420 is used to abut against the upper surface of the photovoltaic module 20 to press the photovoltaic module 20 firmly. The abutment part 420 and the positioning part 430 work together to fix the photovoltaic module 20 from two different directions, which can effectively prevent the second pressing part 400 from shifting or loosening when facing external forces such as wind load and vibration, greatly enhancing the fixing effect of the second pressing part 400 on the photovoltaic module 20 and improving the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic module 20 installation.

[0118] In one implementation, please refer to Figures 29 to 31 The mounting structure 10 also includes a limiting member 500, which is connected to the first pressing part 300. The partition part 200 and the limiting member 500 together form a mounting groove 220. The second pressing part 400 is mounted in the mounting groove 220, and the limiting member 500 is limited and fitted to the second pressing part 400.

[0119] The limiting member 500, through its limiting engagement with the second pressing part 400, ensures the relative fixation between the second pressing part 400 and the partition part 200. This effectively prevents unnecessary movement or loosening of the second pressing part 400 under external force, thereby achieving installation stability. The mounting groove 220 on the partition part 200 provides an installation position for the second pressing part 400, which not only helps to accurately position the second pressing part 400, improving installation consistency and accuracy, but also enhances the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure. For details, please refer to... Figure 30 The limiting member 500 is provided with a fifth mounting hole 520, and the first clamping part 300 is provided with a second mounting hole 310. The second mounting hole 310 and the fifth mounting hole 520 are coaxially arranged. The fastener 40 passes through the second mounting hole 310 and the fifth mounting hole 520 to securely connect the limiting member 500 and the first clamping part 300. Similarly, the diameter of the second mounting hole 310 can be enlarged to facilitate the insertion of the fastener 40.

[0120] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 30 The second pressing part 400 has an inclined surface 440 on the side away from the support surface 110, and the limiting member 500 has a wedge-shaped surface 510 corresponding to the inclined surface 440, and the inclined surface 440 and the wedge-shaped surface 510 are in contact.

[0121] The second pressing part 400 has an inclined surface 440 on the side opposite to the support surface 110 (i.e., the top of the second pressing part 400). During installation or adjustment, the second pressing part 400 can slide along the inclined surface 440. The limiting member 500 is provided with a wedge-shaped surface 510 corresponding to the inclined surface 440. The wedge-shaped surface 510 can fit tightly with the inclined surface 440, thereby realizing the relative movement and fixation between the limiting member 500 and the second pressing part 400. The wedge-shaped surface 510 of the limiting member 500 can firmly lock the inclined surface 440, preventing the second pressing part 400 from shifting or loosening, thereby fixing the second pressing part 400 and pressing the photovoltaic module 20.

[0122] Understandably, during installation, the wedge-shaped surface 510 of the limiting member 500 slides against the inclined surface 440 of the second pressing part 400 under the horizontal tension of the fastener 40. At this time, the limiting member 500 exerts downward pressure on the second pressing part 400, ultimately pressing the second pressing part 400 against the mounting groove 220 of the partition 200. Simultaneously, the second pressing part 400 also presses against the photovoltaic module 20. At this point, the first pressing part 300, the second pressing part 400, and the fastener 40 are all located at the upper end of the partition 200, and the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20 is formed only by the thickness of the partition 200, thereby further compressing the gap between two adjacent photovoltaic modules 20.

[0123] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 10 The first pressing part 300 has an anti-warping surface 340 on the side away from the support surface 110, and the second pressing part 400 has an anti-warping folded edge 450 that bends toward the support surface 110, and the anti-warping folded edge 450 abuts against the anti-warping surface 340.

[0124] The anti-warping edge 450 can cooperate with the anti-warping surface 340 on the first clamping part 300 to prevent the second clamping part 400 from tilting during installation due to the top action of the contact part 420 of the second clamping part 400 contacting the upper surface of the photovoltaic module 20, causing the connecting part 410 on the other side to deflect. In addition, when the photovoltaic module 20 is subjected to wind load, the photovoltaic module 20 is lifted by the wind suction force, and the second clamping part 400 in contact with it is subjected to an upward force, resulting in an unfavorable torque. The anti-warping edge 450 and the anti-warping surface 340 can cooperate to form a stable support structure on the other side, reduce the influence of bending moment, prevent stress concentration or deformation of the second clamping part 400, and enhance the safety and service life of the installation structure 10.

[0125] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 10 The first pressing part 300 and the second pressing part 400 are provided with an anti-slip structure 700 on the side facing the support surface 110.

[0126] The anti-slip structure 700 consists of special textures, protrusions, or other surface treatments on the side of the first pressing part 300 and the second pressing part 400 facing the support surface 110. These textures increase friction and prevent the photovoltaic module 20 from sliding or shifting due to external forces after installation, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the photovoltaic system. Specifically, the anti-slip structure 700 may involve texturing the side of the first pressing part 300 and the second pressing part 400 facing the support surface 110, such as creating a rough surface, serrated texture, or protrusions or grooves of a specific shape, to increase the coefficient of friction of the contact surface. Alternatively, the anti-slip structure 700 may include pads made of rubber or other high-friction materials added to the parts of the first pressing part 300 and the second pressing part 400 that contact the photovoltaic module 20.

[0127] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The first support surface 111 is provided with a rib 160, and the rib 160 is spaced apart from the partition 200.

[0128] The raised rib 160 is a portion that protrudes from the first support surface 111. The raised rib 160 not only increases the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the first support surface 111, but also provides additional support points and a locking function. When the photovoltaic module 20 is inserted between the first support surface 111 and the first clamping part 300, the first clamping part 300 presses the module from above, while the raised rib 160 provides support from below and locks the edge of the module. This vertical locking method ensures that the photovoltaic module 20 will not move or loosen when placed horizontally, thus achieving a secure fixation of the photovoltaic module 20.

[0129] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The first support surface 111 and the second support surface 112 are recessed with a drainage groove 140, and the drainage groove 140 is spaced apart from the partition 200.

[0130] The drainage channel 140 is used to guide rainwater or other liquids to drain quickly, preventing water from accumulating on the support surface 110 and seeping into the photovoltaic module 20. This reduces the risk of moisture erosion of the bottom of the photovoltaic module 20 and its mounting structure 10, extending the system's lifespan. The drainage channel 140 maintains a certain distance from the partition 200; it is not located directly below or near the partition 200, but rather distributed in other locations on the support surface 110. This layout ensures that the support surface 110 provides support in positions opposite to the first clamping part 300 and the second clamping part 400, ensuring a secure clamping effect on the photovoltaic module 20.

[0131] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The seat 110 has two slots 150 formed on the back of the support surface 110. The slots 150 are opened away from the support surface 110. The two slots 150 are located on opposite sides of the partition 200, and the drain groove 140 is located between the two slots 150.

[0132] The function of the slot 150 is to engage with the side wall of the external water tank 30, thereby fixing or pre-fixing the seat 110 and the water tank 30. Furthermore, bolts can be used to further secure the seat 110 and the water tank 30, ensuring the installation stability of the seat 100 and the ease of disassembly and assembly. The drain trough 140 is located between the two slots 150. Even if water accumulates, it can be effectively drained into the water tank 30 and then discharged away through the water tank 30.

[0133] This application also proposes a photovoltaic system, which includes an installation structure for photovoltaic modules. The specific structure of the installation structure is as described in the above embodiments. Since this photovoltaic system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0134] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
