The clamping space 140 between the two clamping pieces 120 is preferably the same size as the width of the solar module 10, and is fixedly clamped between the two clamping pieces 120 of the frame member 110. However, in other different embodiments, the clamping space 140 between the two clamping pieces 120 may also be larger than the width of the solar module 10, and is filled with adhesive or glue strips (not shown) to fix the solar module 10 . . In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the lengths of the two clamping pieces 120 are preferably not equal to each other to facilitate assembly of the solar module 10.

In order to achieve the purpose of thinning the frame 100, the extending direction of the opening 160, the positioning groove 150 and the clamping space 140 are preferably located on a flat horizontal surface, so that when the solar module 10 is assembled, the solar module 10 is placed in each frame. The two clamping pieces 120 of the body member 110 are also located at the horizontal plane. This not only maintains the advantages of support, structural simplification and cost reduction, but also achieves a thinner market demand with a lower overall height.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , each frame member 110 further includes two connecting pieces 170 and a bottom plate 180 connecting the two connecting pieces 170 . The positioning slots 150 are respectively enclosed by the cross bar 130, the two connecting pieces 170 and the bottom plate 180. The two clamping pieces 120 extend from the two connecting pieces 170 in parallel, so that the bottom plate 180, the two connecting pieces 170, the cross bar 130 and the two clamping pieces 120 are all made of the same material, such as aluminum, steel or other suitable materials. It is made in one piece.

Each of the fixing members 200 includes two arms 210 and two arms 210 with an angle θ therebetween. Each of the arms 210 is respectively inserted into the corresponding two positioning slots 150 to position the frame members 110.

To increase the positioning effect of the snap.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, each of the ribs 132 is preferably protruded from one side of the crossbar 130 and extends longitudinally in the direction of the crossbar 130. In other different embodiments, the ribs 132 are also selectively protruded from the bottom plate 180, and the protruding teeth 220 of each of the fixing members 200 are disposed opposite to the ribs 132.

In the present embodiment, the angle θ is preferably equal to an angle of 90 degrees. As shown in FIG. 4, when the fixing members 200 are respectively inserted into the positioning grooves 150 of the frame members 110, a rectangular frame 100 is assembled. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the angle θ of the fixture 200 may also be less than or greater than a 90 degree angle. As shown in the figure, the angle θ of the upper left corner is less than 90 degrees, the angle θ of the lower left corner is greater than 90 degrees, and the angles θ of the upper right and lower right are all equal to 90 degrees. Therefore, each of the fixing members 200 assembles the respective frame members 110. The shape is an irregular rectangular frame 100.

In other words, the frame 100 of the present invention can be assembled into a frame 100 of a corresponding shape by using the fixing members 200 of different angles θ and the frame members 110 according to the shape of the different solar modules 10 to assemble the solar module. 10, and thus meet the needs of today's diverse and different use occasions.

It should be noted that the material of the fixing member 200 can be selectively made of aluminum, steel or other suitable materials, so that the frame 100 of the present invention can have sufficient structural strength to properly support the solar module 10.
