  • Publication number: 20120248271
    Abstract: A clamp is disclosed for attaching a solar panel to a grid system. The clamp includes an upper end clamp, a clamp plate, a channel nut; and a fastener connecting the clamp, the clamp plate and the nut. A head of the fastener engages the upper end clamp and a threaded end of the fastener engages a hole in the channel nut so that rotation of the fastener fixes the clamp to a structural member. Rotation of the fastener also fixes a solar panel to the structural member. The upper end clamp has a side surface, and the clamp plate has a side surface. The side surfaces are in the same plane to enable them both to engage a side surface of the solar panel. The upper end clamp includes a protruding lip for engaging a top surface of a solar panel. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
