Publication number: 20260066840Abstract: Solar panels, which at least at edges of two opposite sides, have frames, for use in fixed tilt solar system as well as use in tracking solar system, are provided with coupling parts together with rails and have coupling parts cooperating with each other, substantially in the form of tongue and groove. The coupling parts have integrated mechanical locking elements, which prevent drifting or separating apart of a coupled solar panel and rail in a direction perpendicular to the solar panel surface and parallel to the solar panel surface. The coupled tongue and groove are balanced by a set of forces and integrated to support each other, and to support solar panel with combined mechanical strength, which provide opportunities to reduce materials usage, dimensions, packaging materials, shipping costs, and installation time, as well as limiting installer error.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Inventors: James YOUNG, George YUAN, Alex YUAN
