Abstract

A trestle includes a fixing unit for fixing a solar panel, a receiving member receiving the fixing unit from below, a base unit, and a first fastener. The base unit is formed with a height direction adjusting groove for fixing the receiving member to be adjustable in a height direction from a roof surface. The first fastener fixes the receiving member to the base unit by being attached to the height direction adjusting groove. The receiving member includes a sandwiching portion that sandwiches a part of the fixing unit and is formed with a hole into which the first fastener is inserted. The first fastener is formed in a shape attachable to the height direction adjusting groove and a shape insertable into the hole, and sandwiches a part of the fixing unit in the sandwiching portion.
