The first connecting seat 20 is combined. When the clasp 38 is forced to move toward the right of the figure, the second coupling portion 42 of the clasp 38 will leave the lateral opening 34 of the second connecting seat 30, so that the clasp 38 is no longer connected to the side opening 34 of the second connecting seat 30. The second connecting seat 30 of the upper support 12 is connected, so that the two solar power modules 10 can be separated. Thereby, it is only necessary to move the clasps 38 to separate them from the second coupling portion 42 of the clasps 38, and then the specific solar power generation module 10 can be removed.

It should be noted that although FIG. 6 shows that the second coupling portion 42 of the clasp 38 is still partially located in the lateral opening 34 of the second connecting seat 30. However, due to the flexibility of the clasp 38, Therefore, after the buckle 38 is deformed by the supporting member 12 applied above, the second coupling portion 42 of the buckle 38 can be separated from the lateral opening 34 of the second connecting seat 30 to separate the two solar power generation modules. Group 10.

Figure 7 shows the clasp 38' of another connecting member 36', which also has a first coupling portion 40', a second coupling portion 42', and a bridge portion 44'. The difference lies in the fact that the first connecting portion 40' and the second connecting portion 42' extend in opposite directions, so that the clasp 38' is generally Z-shaped. The coupling method of the buckle 38' is the same as that described above. The first coupling portion 40' has an elongated hole 46. With a bolt 48, the first coupling portion 40' is movably connected to the first coupling portion 40'. The connecting base 20 is connected, and when the clasp 38' is moved, the second connecting portion 42' can be separated from the second connecting base 30, so that the two solar power modules 10 are separated.

Figure 8 shows the clasp 38" of the third connector 36". The clasp 38" is in a straight shape as a whole, and has a first coupling portion 40" and a second coupling portion 42" connected to each other. The method of coupling and separating the two solar power generation modules 10 of this clasp 38" is the same as the aforementioned , I won’t go into details here.

In this way, the fasteners 38 are used to connect the first connecting seats 20 and the second connecting seats 30 of the two supporting members 12, and then the locking members are used to lock them. A plurality of solar power generation modules 10 can be firmly combined together.
