The photovoltaic panel 9 is unfolded and fixed by the traction belt 1602. Then, the motor 202 is started to rotate the reciprocating screw 303 to drive the telescopic cylinder 204 to extend from the telescopic cylinder 301. When the required height is reached, the motor 202 is turned off. Then, the support frame 5 is connected and fixed to the rotating seat 4 on the telescopic cylinder 204 and the rotating seat 7 on the crossbeam 10. When not in use, the traction rope retracts the photovoltaic panel 9, the fixing plate 13 is removed, the crossbeam 10 is folded, the support frame 5 is disassembled, the motor 2 302 is started to reset the telescopic cylinder 2 304, and then the motor 1 107 is started to extend the universal wheel 104 and perform the movement operation.
