The rotation member 40 can rotate about its own axis, so that the angular adjustment range of the solar panel 50 can be increased. The rotation member 40 is also rotatable in the first groove 313, which is referred to as T-direction rotation of the rotation member 40. The T-direction rotation of the rotation member 40 can change the direction of the first groove 313. Due to the intermediate portion 43, the rotary member 40 can also swing a certain angle in the first mounting chamber 33.
