Abstract

A reinforcing structure for solar panel module is provided. The solar panel module has multiple solar panels and a frame at a periphery region of the solar panel module surrounding the multiple solar panels. The reinforcing structure is disposed in a region incapable of generating power between two said solar panels.

Claims (21)

1 . A reinforcing structure for solar panel module, comprising:

a plurality of solar panels; and

a frame at a periphery region of the solar panel module surrounding the plurality of solar panels,

wherein the reinforcing structure is disposed in a region incapable of generating power between adjacent solar panels.

2 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure is coupled to the frame by at least one securing device.

3 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one securing device is a clamping device or a tension-adjusting device.

4 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure extends from a front side of the solar panel module to a back side of the solar panel module in order to encircle the frame.

5 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cushion pad, disposed between the reinforcing structure and the solar panel module.

6 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 5 , wherein the cushion pad is disposed between the reinforcing structure and the frame.

7 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the reinforcing structure is coupled with a tension-adjusting device.

8 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure is a cable, a circular rod, a rectangular rod, a metallic sheet or a H beam.

9 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein there is a gap between the reinforcing structure and the solar panels.

10 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 9 , wherein the reinforcing structure is an elongated structure having a length, when sun light illuminates from a direction perpendicular to the length toward the solar panels and forms an angle of 30 degree with respect to the solar panels, a shadow of the reinforcing structure does not overlap with the solar panels.

11 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing structure is an elongated structure and the solar panel module on its back side further comprising:

an elongated supporting structure.

12 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 11 , wherein the elongated support structure is a retractable supporting rod.

13 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 12 , wherein two opposite ends of the retractable supporting rod are against two opposite sides of the frame.

14 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a cushion pad, disposed between the retractable supporting rod and the frame.

15 . The reinforcing structure for solar panel module according to claim 13 , wherein the two opposite ends of the retractable supporting rod penetrate the frame and are exposed from the frame.
