Abstract: A photovoltaic (“PV”) module support system including a first PV module having a first PV panel adapted to generate electrical energy from sunlight. The first PV panel has an upper surface and a lower surface and a first frame secured to the lower surface of the first PV panel. The first frame having a pair of first frame members including an elongate slot. A first joining rail has a body and a first wall projecting outwardly from the body. The first wall is inserted within the elongate slot of one of the pair of the first frame members. A fastener is connected to the one of the pair of first frame members and movable to clamp the wall within the slot, wherein the first PV module is positionally fixed relative to the joining rail.

Abstract: A photovoltaic mounting system including a photovoltaic module having a panel having an upper surface including a plurality of photocells and an opposed bottom surface, the module being bounded by a perimeter edge. A mounting frame is secured to the bottom surface of the module. The mounting frame is offset from each of the perimeter edges of the module. The mounting frame includes an upper surface secured to the module and an opposed lower end having a mounting projection.

Abstract: A system for securing photovoltaic panel modules to a support structure includes a first elongate member securable to the support structure. The first elongate member includes a plurality of first mounting sites positionally fixed thereon. A second elongate member is securable to the support structure. The second elongate member includes a plurality of second mounting sites positionally fixed thereon. The second elongate member is spaced from the first elongate member and aligned therewith in a generally parallel orientation. The position of the first and second elongate members is adjustable to align the first and second fixed mounting sites in a predetermined configuration. When the first and second elongate members are aligned in the predetermined configuration, the plurality of first mounting sites and second mounting sites are brought into alignment with each other to permit mounting of a plurality of panel modules to the first and second elongate members.
