Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of photovoltaics, and in particular relates to an installation bracket and a photovoltaic system. Background Technology

[0002] Lightweight photovoltaic modules are commonly used on rooftops, balconies, or in some portable applications. These modules need to be lightweight while maintaining load-bearing capacity. They typically feature a reinforced structure on the back of the laminate, which presents challenges such as difficult installation and insufficient strength. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, this application proposes a mounting bracket and photovoltaic system, which has a simple installation process and a high-strength mounting bracket.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a mounting bracket for use in a photovoltaic system, comprising:

[0005] frame;

[0006] A bracket, wherein the frame is connected to the bracket;

[0007] A reinforcing rib assembly is snapped onto the frame, with its opposite sides abutting against the frame and the bracket, respectively.

[0008] According to the mounting bracket of this application, the reinforcing rib assembly is snapped onto the frame and fixed between the frame and the bracket, eliminating the need to drill holes in the frame. This achieves a hole-free installation of the mounting bracket, does not damage the mechanical strength of the frame, simplifies the installation process, and effectively improves the mechanical strength of the mounting bracket.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this application, the frame has a first slot, and the reinforcing rib assembly has first protrusions at both ends, the first protrusions being engaged with the first slot.

[0010] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting a first slot on the frame and setting a first protrusion at both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly, the reinforcing rib assembly and the frame can be connected by engaging the first protrusion with the first slot, which achieves high installation efficiency.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the frame has a groove for mounting the laminate of the photovoltaic system, and the side wall of the groove near the first slot protrudes from the side wall of the groove away from the first slot in a direction toward the center of the frame, and one side of the laminate abuts against the side wall of the groove near the first slot.

[0012] According to the mounting bracket of this application, the side wall of the groove near the first slot protrudes from the side wall of the groove away from the first slot in the direction of the center of the frame, so as to better support the laminate and prevent the laminate from falling off.

[0013] According to one embodiment of this application, the reinforcing rib assembly has a second slot, and the frame is provided with a second protrusion, the second protrusion being engaged with the second slot.

[0014] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting second slots at both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly and setting second protrusions on the frame, the reinforcing rib assembly and the frame can be snapped together, which achieves high installation efficiency.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this application, the length of the sidewall where the second slot abuts against the second protrusion on the side away from the laminate of the photovoltaic system is L1, and the length of the sidewall where the second slot abuts against the second protrusion on the side close to the laminate is L2, wherein L1 is greater than L2.

[0016] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting the length of the sidewall of the second slot that abuts against the side of the second protrusion away from the laminate to be greater than the length of the sidewall of the second protrusion that abuts against the side of the second protrusion near the laminate, it is easier to support the frame. At the same time, when the mounting bracket bears the back load, the reinforcing rib assembly can better transfer the load to the frame. The reinforcing rib assembly and the frame bear the load at the same time, and the mounting bracket has high strength.

[0017] According to one embodiment of this application, the reinforcing rib assembly includes a reinforcing rib and a pressure plate. The reinforcing rib is snapped onto the frame, and the pressure plate is connected to the laminate of the photovoltaic system and the bracket on opposite sides, respectively. The pressure plate and the laminate clamp the reinforcing rib.

[0018] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting the composition and assembly relationship of the reinforcing rib assembly, the fixing between the reinforcing rib, the pressure plate and the bracket can be achieved. The installation process is simple and the snap-fit ​​effect is good.

[0019] According to one embodiment of this application, the pressure plate is connected to the bracket.

[0020] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting a pressure plate to connect with the bracket, the strength of the mounting bracket can be guaranteed while enabling rapid positioning and assembly of the various components of the mounting bracket. The installation steps are fewer and the efficiency is higher.

[0021] According to one embodiment of this application, the pressure plate is formed with a receiving groove, and the side of the pressure plate opposite to the receiving groove abuts against the bracket, the receiving groove being used to enclose the reinforcing rib with the laminate.

[0022] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by providing a receiving groove in the pressure plate, the pressure plate can better fix the reinforcing rib when it abuts against the laminate.

[0023] According to one embodiment of this application, it further includes a pressure block and a connector, the pressure block abutting against the side of the frame opposite to the bracket, and the pressure block being connected to the bracket via the connector.

[0024] According to the mounting bracket of this application, the frame is connected to the bracket by pressure blocks and connectors, which has good integration and the mounting bracket has high stability and reliability.

[0025] According to one embodiment of this application, the pressure block includes a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment sequentially bent and connected along a direction away from the frame. The first segment abuts against the side of the frame away from the bracket, the second segment abuts against the upper surface of the bracket, and the third segment is connected to the bracket via the connector; and / or,

[0026] The bracket has a groove along its length, and the connector is slidably assembled into the groove.

[0027] According to the mounting bracket of this application, by setting the first, second and third sections of the pressure block and their assembly relationship, the frame and the bracket can be connected. The fastening effect and stability are good, and the connection strength is high. By setting the slide groove on the bracket, the connector can be slidably assembled into the slide groove to adapt to different frames, and the versatility is good.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides a photovoltaic system, which includes:

[0029] Mounting brackets as described above;

[0030] Photovoltaic modules are mounted on the mounting bracket.

Detailed Implementation

[0052] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0053] The principle of the mounting bracket 100 proposed in this application will be explained in detail below:

[0054] In related technologies, lightweight photovoltaic modules are often used on rooftops, balconies, or some portable applications. Lightweight photovoltaic modules need to ensure load-bearing performance while meeting the requirements of being lightweight. They usually have a reinforced structure design on the back of the laminate, which presents problems such as difficult installation and insufficient strength.

[0055] To solve this technical problem, this application provides a mounting bracket 100, as described below. Figures 1-9 Description of mounting bracket 100 according to an embodiment of this application.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 of this application embodiment is applied to a photovoltaic system 1 and includes: a frame 10, a bracket 30, and a reinforcing rib assembly 40.

[0057] The frame 10 can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel or composite materials. In this embodiment, the frame 10 can be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy frames are lightweight, corrosion resistant and have high strength.

[0058] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the laminate 20 is mounted on the frame 10.

[0059] In this embodiment, the laminate 20 of the photovoltaic system 1 can be installed on the frame 10 by means of non-drilling methods such as mounting with pressure block 50, corner bracket mounting, or adhesive.

[0060] The frame 10 is connected to the bracket 30.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10.

[0062] In this embodiment, both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 are snapped onto the frame 10. The length of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is less than the distance between the inner sides of the two frames 10, which facilitates the assembly of the reinforcing rib 43.

[0063] The two opposite sides of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 abut against the frame 10 and the bracket 30 respectively. One side of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 abuts against the back of the laminate 20, and the side of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 away from the laminate 20 abuts against the bracket 30.

[0064] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is clamped between the frame 10 and the bracket 30. When the laminate 20 is subjected to a frontal load, the pressure on the laminate 20 can be transferred to the reinforcing rib 43.

[0065] It should be noted that the contact position between the reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the laminate 20 can be set according to the specific installation situation and installation requirements of the laminate 20.

[0066] In related technologies, lightweight photovoltaic modules are often used in rooftops, balconies, or some portable applications (such as car roofs). Lightweight photovoltaic modules need to ensure load-bearing performance while meeting the requirements of being lightweight. Usually, a reinforced structure design is carried out on the back of the laminate. When adding reinforcing ribs to the back of the laminate, drilling holes in the frame and connecting the reinforcing ribs to the frame with bolts will damage the mechanical strength of the frame, resulting in insufficient strength. Using structural adhesive to bond the reinforcing ribs to the back of the laminate is more difficult to install, and the gap left between the reinforcing ribs and the laminate also results in insufficient strength and poor reinforcement effect.

[0067] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 100 first installs the laminate 20 onto the frame 10, and the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10. Then, the bracket 30 is connected to the frame 10, and the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is clamped between the laminate 20 and the bracket 30. The installation process is simple. When the mounting bracket 100 is subjected to a frontal load, the pressure on the laminate 20 can be transferred to the reinforcing rib assembly 40. Both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 are snapped onto the frame 10. The reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the frame 10 can jointly bear the transferred frontal load, improving the frontal load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket 100. When the mounting bracket 100 is subjected to a backal load, since the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10, the force on the reinforcing rib assembly 40 will be transferred to the frame 10 instead of acting directly on the laminate 20, reducing the risk of the laminate 20 breaking.

[0068] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10 and fixed between the frame 10 and the bracket 30. There is no need to drill holes in the frame 10, so the mounting bracket 100 can be installed without drilling. This does not damage the mechanical strength of the frame 10. The installation process is simple and the mechanical strength of the mounting bracket 100 is well improved.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the frame 10 may have a first card slot 11.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 has a first protrusion 41 at both ends, and the first protrusion 41 is engaged with the first slot 11.

[0071] In this embodiment, the frame 10 has a first slot 11, which is arranged along the length direction of each of the four frames 10, and the length of the first slot 11 is equal to the length of each of the four frames 10. The reinforcing rib assembly 40 has a first protrusion 41 at both ends, which is engaged with the first slot 11, and the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is clamped between the laminate 20 and the bracket 30.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first card slot 11 may be provided only on two opposite borders 10, and the length of the first card slot 11 may be less than the length of the border 10 on which it is located.

[0073] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting a first slot 11 on the frame 10 and setting a first protrusion 41 at both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly 40, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the frame 10 can be connected by the first protrusion 41 and the first slot 11, which achieves high installation efficiency.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the border 10 may also have a groove 12.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the laminate 20 of the photovoltaic system 1 is installed in the groove 12.

[0076] In this embodiment, the groove 12 is disposed on one side of the first slot 11, and the laminate 20 is installed in the groove 12. The laminate 20 can be installed in the groove 12 by snap-fit, adhesive or other means.

[0077] The side wall of the groove 12 near the first slot 11 protrudes from the side wall of the groove 12 away from the first slot 11 in the direction of the center of the frame 10, and one side of the laminate 20 abuts against the side wall of the groove 12 near the first slot 11.

[0078] In this embodiment, the side wall of the groove 12 near the first slot 11 protrudes from the side wall of the groove 12 away from the first slot 11, and the protrusion direction is towards the center of the frame 10. After the laminate 20 is installed in the groove 12, the back of the laminate 20 abuts against the side wall of the groove 12 near the first slot 11. Since the side wall of the groove 12 that the back of the laminate 20 abuts against protrudes from the side wall opposite to the side wall of the groove 12 that it abuts against, the groove 12 provides good support for the laminate 20.

[0079] It is understandable that the side of the laminate 20 that receives light is the front side, and the opposite side (i.e. the side of the laminate 20 that abuts against the reinforcing rib assembly 40) is the back side.

[0080] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiment of this application, the side wall of the groove 12 near the first slot 11 protrudes from the side wall of the groove 12 away from the first slot 11 in the direction of the center of the frame 10, so as to better support the laminate 20 and prevent the laminate 20 from falling off.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 may have a second slot 42.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 10 is provided with a second protrusion 13, which is engaged with the second slot 42.

[0083] In this embodiment, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is provided with a second slot 42 at both ends, and each of the four side frames 10 is provided with a second protrusion 13. The second protrusion 13 is provided along the length direction of each of the four side frames 10, and the second protrusion 13 is engaged with the second slot 42.

[0084] It should be noted that the length of the second protrusion 13 along the length of the frame 10 can be the same as or longer than the length of the second slot 42 along the length of the frame 10.

[0085] In some embodiments, the second protrusion 13 may be provided only on the two opposite borders 10.

[0086] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting second slots 42 at both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 and setting second protrusions 13 on the frame 10, the second protrusions 13 can be engaged with the second slots 42 to achieve the engagement of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the frame 10, resulting in high installation efficiency.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the length of the sidewall where the second slot 42 and the second protrusion 13 abut against the side away from the laminate 20 is L1, and the length of the sidewall where the second slot 42 and the second protrusion 13 abut against the side near the laminate 20 is L2, wherein L1 is greater than L2.

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, one side wall of the second slot 42 protrudes from the opposite side wall along the length direction of the reinforcing rib assembly 40. The more protruding side wall of the second slot 42 abuts against the side of the second protrusion 13 away from the laminate 20. This side wall provides good support for the frame 10. The side wall opposite to the more protruding side wall of the second slot 42 is close to the laminate 20.

[0089] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting the length of the side wall of the second slot 42 that abuts against the side of the second protrusion 13 away from the laminate 20 to be greater than the length of the side wall of the second protrusion 13 that abuts against the side of the laminate 20, it is easier to support the frame 10. At the same time, when the mounting bracket 100 bears the back load, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 can better transfer the load to the frame 10. The reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the frame 10 bear the load at the same time, and the mounting bracket 100 has high strength.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the reinforcing rib assembly 40 may include a reinforcing rib 43 and a pressure plate 44.

[0091] The reinforcing rib 43 is snapped onto the frame 10.

[0092] In this embodiment, the two ends of the reinforcing rib 43 are snapped onto the frame 10.

[0093] The pressure plate 44 is connected to the laminate 20 and the bracket 30 of the photovoltaic system 1 on opposite sides.

[0094] One side of the pressure plate 44 is connected to the laminate 20.

[0095] In this embodiment, one side of the pressure plate 44 can be glued to the laminate 20 with structural adhesive.

[0096] The side of the pressure plate 44 away from the laminate 20 abuts against the bracket 30, and the pressure plate 44 and the laminate 20 clamp the reinforcing rib 43.

[0097] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 44 is pre-assembled on the bracket 30, and then structural adhesive is applied to the surface of the pressure plate 44 to bond the pressure plate 44 to the back of the laminate 20. At the same time, the reinforcing rib 43 is clamped between the pressure plate 44 and the laminate 20, thus completing the fixation between the reinforcing rib 43, the pressure plate 44 and the bracket 30.

[0098] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting the composition and assembly relationship of the reinforcing rib assembly 40, the fixing between the reinforcing rib 43, the pressure plate 44 and the bracket 30 is realized. The installation process is simple and the snap-fit ​​effect is good.

[0099] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 44 may be connected to the bracket 30.

[0100] The side of the pressure plate 44 facing away from the laminate 20 is connected to the bracket 30.

[0101] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 44 can be pre-connected to the bracket 30. When installing the bracket 100, after the reinforcing rib 43 is snapped into the frame 10, the bracket 30 can be directly connected to the frame 10, and the connection between the pressure plate 44 and the laminate 20 and the fixation of the reinforcing rib 43 by the pressure plate 44 are completed simultaneously. The installation steps are fewer and the efficiency is higher.

[0102] The pressure plate 44 can be connected to the bracket 30 by means of bolts, welding, snap-fit ​​or adhesive.

[0103] In this embodiment, the pressure plate 44 can be connected to the bracket 30 by bolts, which has high connection strength and is easy to disassemble and assemble. The pressure plate 44 has a good fixing effect on the reinforcing rib 43.

[0104] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting a pressure plate 44 connected to the bracket 30, the strength of the mounting bracket 100 can be guaranteed while realizing the rapid positioning and assembly of the components of the mounting bracket 100. The installation steps are fewer and the efficiency is higher.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the pressure plate 44 can be formed with a receiving groove 441.

[0106] The side of the pressure plate 44 away from the receiving groove 441 abuts against the bracket 30. The receiving groove 441 is used to surround the reinforcing rib 43 with the laminate 20.

[0107] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 441 passes through both ends of the pressure plate 44, and the size of the receiving groove 441 is adapted to the reinforcing rib 43. The side of the pressure plate 44 away from the receiving groove 441 is connected to the bracket 30. The end of the pressure plate 44 with the receiving groove 441 is connected to the laminate 20. The receiving groove 441 is used to receive the reinforcing rib 43. The end of the pressure plate 44 with the receiving groove 441 surrounds the reinforcing rib 43 with the laminate 20.

[0108] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiment of this application, by providing a receiving groove 441 in the pressure plate 44, the pressure plate 44 can better fix the reinforcing rib 43 when it abuts against the laminate 20.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 100 may also include a pressure block 50 and a connector 60.

[0110] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressure block 50 abuts against the side of the frame 10 away from the bracket 30, and the pressure block 50 is connected to the bracket 30 through the connector 60.

[0111] In this embodiment, the pressure block 50 abuts against the side of the frame 10 away from the bracket 30, and the pressure block 50 protrudes from the frame 10 in the direction away from the center of the frame 10. The part of the pressure block 50 protruding from the frame 10 is connected to the bracket 30 through the connector 60. The frame 10 is exempt from drilling. The pressure block 50 can firmly fix the photovoltaic module (including the laminate 20 and the frame 10) on the bracket 30, preventing it from shifting or loosening under the action of wind or other external forces, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the mounting bracket 100, and with good integration.

[0112] The connector 60 can be a threaded connector 60 or other types of connector 60.

[0113] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, the frame 10 and the bracket 30 are connected together by the pressure block 50 and the connector 60, which has good integration and the mounting bracket 100 has high stability and reliability.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing block 50 may include a first segment 51, a second segment 52, and a third segment 53.

[0115] The first segment 51, the second segment 52, and the third segment 53 are sequentially bent and connected along the direction away from the border 10.

[0116] The first segment 51 abuts against the side of the frame 10 away from the bracket 30, the second segment 52 abuts against the upper surface of the bracket 30, and the third segment 53 is connected to the bracket 30 through the connector 60.

[0117] In this embodiment, the first segment 51, the second segment 52, and the third segment 53 are sequentially bent and connected along the direction away from the frame 10. When the pressure block 50 is installed on the frame 10, the first segment 51 and the third segment 53 are vertically arranged, and the second segment 52 is horizontally arranged. The first segment 51 abuts against the side of the frame 10 away from the bracket 30, the second segment 52 abuts against the upper surface of the bracket 30, and the third segment 53 is connected to the bracket 30 through the connector 60. The first segment 51 and the third segment 53 apply a force towards the bracket 30 to the frame 10, resulting in a good fastening effect. Furthermore, the third segment 53 protrudes from the frame 10, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the frame 10. The abutment of the second segment 52 against the upper surface of the bracket 30 makes the third segment 53 closer to the bracket 30. The connection point between the pressure block 50 and the connector 60 is close to the bracket 30, resulting in good stability and high connection strength.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 30 may be provided with a sliding groove 31.

[0119] The slide groove 31 is provided along the length of the bracket 30, and the connector 60 is slidably assembled in the slide groove 31.

[0120] In this embodiment, the slide groove 31 is arranged along the length direction of the bracket 30 and passes through both ends of the bracket 30 along the length direction of the bracket 30. One end of the connector 60 is connected to the third section 53 of the pressure block 50, and the other end is slidably assembled in the slide groove 31. When the connector 60 connects the frame 10 to the bracket 30, it can slide in the slide groove 31 to fit the frame 10 according to the size of the frame 10, which has good versatility.

[0121] The connector 60 may include a bolt and a nut, with the bolt connected to the pressure block 50 and the nut sliding within the groove 31.

[0122] In some embodiments, the connector 60 may also be of other structures.

[0123] According to the mounting bracket 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by setting the first segment 51, the second segment 52 and the third segment 53 of the pressure block 50 and their assembly relationship, the frame 10 and the bracket 30 can be connected, with good fastening effect and stability, and high connection strength; by setting the slide groove 31 on the bracket 30, the connector 60 can be slidably assembled into the slide groove 31 to adapt to different frames 10, with good versatility.

[0124] In some embodiments, after the laminate 20 is installed in the groove 12 of the frame 10, the reinforcing rib 43 interlocks with the frame 10. The sidewalls of the second slot 42 of the reinforcing rib 43 are respectively engaged with the first slot 11 of the frame 10 and abut against the outer surface of the sidewall of the first slot 11. The sidewalls of the first slot 11 of the frame 10 are respectively engaged with the second slot 42 of the reinforcing rib 43 and abut against the outer surface of the sidewall of the second slot 42. The pressure plate 44 is pre-connected to the bracket 30. The pressure plate 44 has a receiving groove 441 on one side for applying structural adhesive. Applying adhesive to the pressure plate 44 is simple. Furthermore, less glue is used, the gap between the reinforcing rib 43 and the laminate 20 is small, and the assembly is more secure. After the reinforcing rib 43 is snapped onto the frame 10, the bracket 30 is directly connected to the frame 10, and the pressure plate 44 is bonded to the back plate of the laminate 20. The connection between the pressure plate 44 and the laminate 20 and the fixation of the reinforcing rib 43 by the pressure plate 44 are completed simultaneously. Finally, the first section 51 of the pressure block 50 abuts against the side of the frame 10 away from the bracket 30, the second section 52 abuts against the upper surface of the bracket 30, and the third section 53 is connected to the bracket 30 through the connector 60, thus completing the installation of the bracket 100.

[0125] When the mounting bracket 100 is subjected to a frontal load, the pressure on the laminate 20 can be transferred to the reinforcing rib 43. Both ends of the reinforcing rib 43 are snapped into the frame 10. The reinforcing rib 43 and the frame 10 can jointly bear the transferred frontal load, improving the frontal load-bearing capacity of the mounting bracket 100. When the mounting bracket 100 is subjected to a backal load, since the reinforcing rib 43 is snapped into the frame 10, the force on the reinforcing rib 43 will be transferred to the frame 10 instead of acting directly on the laminate 20. The reinforcing rib 43 and the bracket 30 have a fixing effect on the laminate 20, which can reduce the load on the laminate 20, reduce the deformation of the laminate 20, reduce the risk of the laminate 20 breaking, and prevent the laminate 20 from falling off the frame 10.

[0126] This application also provides a photovoltaic system 1.

[0127] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photovoltaic system 1 includes: a mounting bracket 100 and photovoltaic modules.

[0128] Mounting bracket 100 is the mounting bracket 100 described in the above embodiment.

[0129] The photovoltaic modules are installed on the mounting bracket 100.

[0130] Photovoltaic modules include, but are not limited to, the laminate 20 described in the above embodiments.

[0131] Photovoltaic modules can be installed on the frame 10 using non-drilling methods such as clamping block 50, corner bracket installation, or adhesive bonding.

[0132] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic module is first installed on the frame 10, and the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10. Then, the bracket 30 is connected to the frame 10, and the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is clamped between the photovoltaic module and the bracket 30. The installation process is simple. When the photovoltaic system 1 is subjected to a front load, the pressure on the photovoltaic module can be transferred to the reinforcing rib assembly 40. Both ends of the reinforcing rib assembly 40 are snapped onto the frame 10. The reinforcing rib assembly 40 and the frame 10 can jointly bear the transferred front load, thereby improving the front load-bearing capacity of the photovoltaic system 1. When the photovoltaic system 1 is subjected to a back load, since the reinforcing rib assembly 40 is snapped onto the frame 10, the force on the reinforcing rib assembly 40 will be transferred to the frame 10 instead of acting directly on the photovoltaic module, thus reducing the risk of photovoltaic module breakage.

[0133] According to the photovoltaic system provided in the embodiments of this application, by installing the photovoltaic modules on the mounting bracket 100 with the reinforcing rib assembly 40, the photovoltaic system 1 has high mechanical strength and good stability.
