A solar panel assembly, comprising:
- a base including a plurality of tubular bodies extending along a first direction and spaced apart from each other in a second direction transverse to the first direction, said tubular bodies being configured to float on a water body;
- a support unit disposed on said base, and including a plurality of supporting frames connected between said tubular bodies and a plurality of supporting rods extending upwardly from said supporting frames;
- at least one solar power panel obliquely disposed on said supporting rods, said at least one solar power panel having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to said top surface, said top and bottom surface being configured to convert light energy into electrical energy;
- at least one reflector plate disposed between said base and said at least one solar panel to reflect light rays to said bottom surface;
- and
- a plurality of adjustment members connected to said base and two opposite sides of said at least one reflector plate to adjust inclination of said at least one reflector plate;
- wherein each of said adjustment members has only one adjustment slot elongated in a top-bottom direction, and only one bolt extending through said adjustment slot, movable along said adjustment slot, and connected to said at least one reflector plate, said bolt having an enlarged head portion greater in width along a direction perpendicular to the top-bottom direction than said adjustment slot;
- wherein said solar panel assembly further comprises two edge strips respectively fitted to two opposite edges of said at least one reflector plate and connected to said base in an inclined position;
- and
- wherein each of said edge strips has a downwardly extending post connected to said tubular bodies to place said at least one reflector plate and a respective one of said edge strips in an inclined position on said base.
