Abstract: A mounting assembly for securing fixtures to a mounting structure may include a first fastener, a washer, a mounting bracket, and second fastener. The first fastener may be coupled to the mounting structure through a mounting aperture. The washer may be disposed around shaft of the first fastener between a head of the first fastener and the mounting surface. The mounting bracket may be disposed on top of the first fastener. The second fastener may be disposed through the mounting bracket and coupled to head of the first fastener. The washer may be a sealing washer that dispenses liquid sealant under compressive force to moisture-proof the securement of the first fastener to the mounting surface.

Abstract: A mounting assembly to mount frames on a mounting surface, the mounting assembly having rails that supports the frames, each rail having an internal side adjacent with an internal recess, and an external side opposite to the internal side with lip; and roof mounting assemblies to affix the rails onto the mounting surface. Each mounting assembly having a mounting block that is fixable to the mounting surface, a mounting plate that is fixable to the mounting block, and a pair rail snap brackets formed at extremities of the mounting plate that receives and locks the rails in place, each rail snap bracket of the pair of rail snap brackets having a pair of notches that lodges in the internal recess of the rail to lock the rail in place and a hook that receives the lip.

Abstract: Mitigation techniques for photovoltaic (PV) module installation surface abrasion are described. According to one embodiment, a photovoltaic system includes first and second photovoltaic modules, each including a first coupling element (e.g., mounting leg) on a first end and a second coupling element on a second end opposite of the first end. The system also includes a connector assembly including a fastener adapted to engage the first coupling element of the first photovoltaic module with the second coupling element of the second photovoltaic module. The fastener is configured to provide an engagement state that enables movement of the second coupling element of the second photovoltaic module independent of the first photovoltaic module.
