Abstract: A solar power system can include a rail and a solar module disposed on the rail. A clamp assembly can couple the solar module to the rail. The clamp assembly can have a clamped configuration in which the solar module is secured to the rail and an unclamped configuration. The clamp assembly can comprise an upper clamp member, a lower clamp member coupled to the rail, and a stabilization member mechanically engaging the upper clamp member and the lower clamp member. The stabilization member can prevent rotation of the lower clamp member relative to the rail when the clamp assembly is in the clamped and unclamped configurations. In the unclamped configuration, the stabilization member can be biased such that the upper clamp member is disposed at a sufficient clearance above the rail to permit the insertion of the solar module between the upper clamp member and the rail.

Abstract: A rail assembly includes a rail and an adapter. The adapter may be slidably interconnected with the rail via a first rail channel on a first rail side of the rail, and may also be slidably interconnected with the rail via a second rail channel on a second rail side of the rail. The adapter may be inverted (whether installed via the first rail channel or the second rail channel) between two different orientations that dispose a mounting flange at different elevations to accommodate two different mounting configurations.

Abstract: Solar panels are coupled to elongated purlins by solar panel clamps. A single strip of sheet metal is folded to form a first mounting portion, a second mounting portion opposed to the first mounting portion, and a first section of an upright wall extending perpendicularly therebetween. A first and second mounting shelves extend perpendicularly from the first section of the upright wall. A second section of the upright wall extends perpendicularly from between the first and second mounting shelves. A plurality of solar panel clamps affix the plurality of solar panels to the mounting shelves of the elongated purlins.

Abstract: A solar energy utilization apparatus for installation on a road includes a mounting frame and solar cells. The mounting frame includes a top support and two lateral mounting legs connected to both sides of the top support, the top support is configured to face the road, and the lateral mounting legs respectively are installed on both sides of the road. The solar cells are arranged on the top support, each of the solar cells has a light receiving surface that is tilted downward, toward a same side of the road at a substantially same angle thereby facing an orientation where sunlight intensity is greater. The invention does not occupy farmland and other green vegetation areas. More importantly, such a configuration can provide a huge installation site for solar energy utilization apparatus, which meets the rapid development of the solar energy industry in the future.

Abstract: In various representative aspects, an assembly for securing a solar panel rail and rail-less support structures to a shingle roof. More specifically, the apparatus includes a connection bracket and flashing device for use in installing solar panel rail support structures. The connection bracket is secured to the flashing device by rotating its base around a threaded connection until it locks in place so that a solar panel rail support guide can be connected to a generally U-shaped connection on the top of the bracket. The apparatus also offers an improved means to cover the penetration point on the flashing to protect it and prevent water from leaking into the roof as well as an improved way to install the apparatus over existing products. An alternate embodiment of the apparatus is offered to support a rail-less pivot mount as well.
