  • Patent number: 11750143
    Abstract: A bracket for attaching solar panels to a roof, in the form of an L-foot, as well as devices and assemblies that utilize the L-foot. The L-foot includes a base and a riser extending upward from the base. The base includes a pair of raised stiffeners each extending obliquely upward toward each other from opposites sides of the base and each extending lengthwise along the base. The base can receive threaded roof fasteners that extend perpendicularly through the raised stiffeners and obliquely through the base. Threaded roof fasteners positioned on opposite raised stiffeners can extend through the roof deck toward each other. The L-foot is compatible with rail-based and rail-less solar panel racking systems.

  • Publication number: 20230198460
    Abstract: A solar panel racking system that can include end clamps, mid clamps, bottom clamps, L-foot adapter assemblies, rails, and L-foot assemblies. The solar panel racking system minimizes the use of tools by snapping many of the mounting components in place. The end clamps, mid clamps, and bottom clamps can snap over the rail sides and lock into upper detented portions of the rail sides. The upper detented portions are structured to prevent upward movement of the end clamps, mid clamps, and bottom clamps. The L-foot adapter body of the L-foot adapter assembly snaps over lower detented portions of rail sides and secures the rail to an L-foot assembly. The end clamps, mid clamps, bottom clamps, rails, and L-foot adapter assemblies are independent of the L-foot assembly, allowing a selection of L-foot assemblies to be used as appropriate with the solar panel racking system.
