Abstract: A mount system for a supporting a plurality of photovoltaic panels includes a plurality of stanchions. Each stanchion is spaced apart from other stanchions in a linear stanchion array having first and second ends. Each stanchion includes a vertical member and a transverse member supported by the vertical member. The transverse member has a plurality of support points. The system includes a plurality of anchor arrangements. A first anchor arrangement is located proximate the first end and a second anchor arrangement is located proximate the second end. The system includes a plurality of cables. Each cable is under tension and extends between the first and second anchor arrangements. Each cables extends to engage and is supported by a support point on a transverse member. The system includes a plurality of photovoltaic panel attachments. Each photovoltaic panel attachment is secured to a point on a photovoltaic panel and to a cable.

Abstract: An articulating-tension washer and an articulating-tension arrangement, which includes the washer, for tensioning against and articulation relative to an anchor point. The arrangement includes an elongate member for extension through an aperture defined by the anchor point and having an elongation extending in a direction generally transverse to a first plane within which the anchor point lies. The arrangement includes a tightening member operable for providing a tension force to pull the elongate member through the aperture. The articulating-tension washer is to be retained at the aperture to transmit a force between the tightening member and the elongate member, and includes an arcuate surface for location away from the aperture, the arcuate surface extends in an arc symmetrically across the direction of elongation of the elongate member.
