Abstract: A solar panel mounting system including a first bracket having a base, a width, a partially cylindrical surface spaced a distance from the base, and a cylindrical surface between the partially cylindrical surface and the base; and a second bracket having a first leg, a second leg spaced a distance from the first leg, and a base connecting the first leg and the second leg, the base and legs together defining a first volume having a width greater than and corresponding to the width of the first bracket, a stem connected to the base and extending away from the first volume, and a bar connected to the stem and having a first planar surface and second planar surface defining first and second panel receiving volumes.

Abstract: A clamp assembly for solar panels comprising a base and a clamp. The base has a baseplate and first and second spaced-apart struts connected to the baseplate to form a channel. Surfaces of the struts define slots adjacent to the channel. Beams are connected to the struts. The clamp includes a plate with fingers extending from the plate into the channel. The clamp further includes angled surfaces and cylindrical surfaces defining holes through the clamp plate. The clamp assembly is preferably made from a nonconductive material to inhibit arcing and the risk of electrical fire from incorrect or failed wiring.

Abstract: A clamp assembly for solar panels comprising a base and a clamp. The base has a baseplate and first and second spaced-apart struts connected to the baseplate to form a channel. Surfaces of the struts define slots adjacent to the channel. Beams are connected to the struts, and spacers are attached to the beams. Each spacer has an angled surface adjacent to the channel and a curved surface. The clamp includes a plate with fingers extending from the plate into the channel. The clamp further includes angled surfaces in contact with the spacer angled surfaces. Bolts extend through the plate so that most of the threaded portions are positioned between fingers. Corresponding nuts are positioned in the slots and inhibited from rotation during threading with the bolt by the slot surfaces. The clamp assembly is preferably made from a nonconductive material to inhibit arcing and the risk of electrical fire from incorrect or failed wiring.
