Abstract: A solar panel frame assembly including a plurality of corner pieces and side extension pieces is disclosed. Each corner piece and side extension has an inner and outer side which terminate at their respective ends. The pieces interlock with each other at their ends to form a frame around the periphery of a solar panel. Adjacent corner pieces also interlock with each other along their outer sides so that a plurality of adjacent framed solar panels can be connected together to form an array of framed solar panels. A method for forming an array of connected and framed solar panels is also disclosed.
