The present invention relates to a solar panel bracket, and in particular to a solar panel bracket with a water conducting function.
Solar energy refers to energy from light and heat radiated from the sun which are utilized by a series of technologies that are constantly developing. Among them, the use of solar cells to convert the energy contained in sunlight into electrical energy through photoelectric conversion is one of the main application methods.
Solar equipment can be disposed on roofs, balconies, top floors, factories, open spaces, etc. Each solar panel of the solar equipment is disposed on a support bracket for support and positioning, but a gap would be formed between adjacent solar panel modules, causing that in rainy weather or when cleaning the solar panels, water can easily seep into the gaps, resulting in stagnant water and poor drainage.
In conventional technologies, a rubber strip is arranged between the solar panel modules, to provide waterproof effect. However, the rubber strips would cause elastic fatigue when exposed to the sunlight for a long time, so that the leakage prevention effect cannot be effectively achieved.
In addition, there are also conventional technologies to provide waterproof brackets for the solar modules, such as Taiwan's M620395, M617771, 1741817 and other patents, but these patents focus on solving the problem of waterproofing rather than water conduction.
There are other conventional technologies to provide water conducting steel brackets for the solar modules, such as the Taiwan's M619480 patent, but although the structures in these patents can conduct water, carrying capacity is affected due to the too simple structures, or they can only overcome the one-way (longitudinal or horizontal) water conduction, but cannot solve the problem of two-way (longitudinal and horizontal) water conduction.
In order to solve the above and other problems, one objective of the present invention is to provide a solar panel bracket with a water conducting function.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a solar panel bracket with a water conducting function which is capable of simultaneous longitudinal and horizontal water conduction.
A further objective of the present invention is to provide a solar panel bracket with a water conducting function which is capable of collecting longitudinal and horizontal falling water together into a same direction.
Another objective of the present invention is to provide a solar panel bracket with a water conducting function which is capable of quick or safe assembly.
