Abstract: A solar panel racking system that can include end clamps, mid clamps, bottom clamps, L-foot adapter assemblies, rails, and L-foot assemblies. The solar panel racking system minimizes the use of tools by snapping many of the mounting components in place. The end clamps, mid clamps, and bottom clamps can snap over the rail sides and lock into upper detented portions of the rail sides. The upper detented portions are structured to prevent upward movement of the end clamps, mid clamps, and bottom clamps. The L-foot adapter body of the L-foot adapter assembly snaps over lower detented portions of rail sides and secures the rail to an L-foot assembly. The end clamps, mid clamps, bottom clamps, rails, and L-foot adapter assemblies are independent of the L-foot assembly, allowing a selection of L-foot assemblies to be used as appropriate with the solar panel racking system.

Abstract: A solar panel mounting device can secure solar panels to roof structures. The solar panel mounting device allows for position adjustment lengthwise along a base via a threaded locking fastener. The base being mountable to a roof surface either directly or optionally via flashing. In addition, the height of a platform that can be used to seat one or more solar panels can be adjusted relative to the roof surface. The solar panel mounting device is so structured so that both the locking fastener and the height adjuster can be accessed from above the solar panels. This allows for both position and height adjustment after the solar panels are installed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solar panel top clamp assembly for securing solar panels to a support section such as a rail or rail-less mounting structure. The solar panel top clamp assembly includes a panel clamp and a base. The panel clamp includes a crossbar and a pair of legs projecting obliquely downward from the crossbar and angled inward toward one another. The panel clamp is secured to a pedestal that projects upward from a platform. The platform is captively slidable within the support section. The pedestal and platform together form a portion of the base. Thanks in part to the unique structure of the panel clamp, the solar panel top clamp assembly can perform the function of both an end-clamp and a mid-clamp.

Abstract: A solar panel mounting device that allows for position adjustment along a base mountable to a roof surface and height-adjustment relative to the roof surface. The solar panel mounting device includes a height-adjuster and a dual-locking mechanism separate from the height-adjuster. The dual-locking mechanism acts as a guide surface during level adjustment and can separately lock the position adjustment and height-adjustment upper limit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and device (10, 100, 200, 300) for mounting a solar panel (11) to a roof (43). The device (10, 100, 200, 300) allows for the mounting of solar panels (11) with various thicknesses using an end clamp (12) and base (13) assembly where the end clamp (12) is height adjustable along an alignment portion (20) that projects vertically upward from a planar top surface (19) of the base (13). The end clamp (12) includes an end portion (18) with a three-angle bearing surface (27) that engages both a side surface and a groove (23) within a side surface of the alignment portion (20). The solar panel (11) frame is secured from the top by an upper clamping surface of the end clamp (12) to the alignment portion (20) and the top surface of the base (13).

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed in connection with a reaction at or below the surface of a work object, in the context of a fluid flow fostering the reaction. In some example embodiments, the reaction is fostered by (1) creating fluid flow of an inerting fluid over a surface during exposure of the surface to a predetermined type of light, (2) creating fluid flow comprising a reactive species that reacts with another species at or below the work surface in a predetermined manner and/or (3) creating a fluid flow comprising a catalytic species that catalyzes a reaction in a predetermined manner, e.g., during exposure of the surface to a predetermined type of light. In some example embodiments, a light source is employed that comprises a solid-state light source, e.g., a dense array of solid-state light sources. In at least one of such example embodiments, the reaction is a photoreaction associated with the light source.
