    摘要: An elevated trellis style long span solar panel mounting system with a deployable truss structure underneath that allows the solar array to be positioned at a height to eliminate or minimize shading from roof structures or mounted equipment that employs a force cancelling truss configuration to minimize side loads and the resulting bending loads on the roof support system to which it is attached, thereby eliminating the need for cross-bracing between mounting posts which limits roof access for re-roofing without solar system removal, and provides a means for adjusting the tilt angle, height, and mounting post spacing by sliding truss members to the appropriate positions.

    摘要: A flexible height-adjustable C-clip for securing solar panels to a support structure, including a clamp body with lower planar surface-engaging portion and a through hole, an upper planar horizontal clamping portion substantially parallel with the lower planar surface-engaging portion and also having a lower through hole, and a flexible arcuate portion disposed therebetween. The C-clip includes panel-engaging stops that engage the side of the solar panel, align the C-clip perpendicular to the support surface, and maintain the alignment during tightening.

    摘要: An adjustable tilt solar panel support system including a support post, a U-shaped pivot bracket attached to the support post in a generally upright orientation and having a pivot pin hole for accommodating a pivot pin, and further having at least one adjustment opening; a rotational support cradle having a pivot pin hole in alignment with the pivot pin hole of the pivot bracket, such that the support cradle is pivotally attached to the pivot bracket, the support cradle further including at least one adjustment opening which aligns with the adjustment opening of the pivot bracket. An adjustment pin is selectively inserted into and through the adjustment openings of the support cradle and pivot bracket to secure the support cradle at a selected angle, and wherein the removal of the adjustment pin permits the rotational support cradle to pivot on the pivot bracket about the pivot pin.

    摘要: A flexible clamp for clamping and spacing solar panel modules, including a captive flange forming a top portion, which includes a top face, a bottom face, a right side, a left side, a front side, a back side, a substantially planar underside to engage the modules upper surface. It also includes a longitudinal axis and an aperture disposed generally along that axis. First, second, and third horizontal members are disposed under the captive flange and include substantially planar surfaces generally parallel to the underside of the captive flange. Each horizontal member includes a right side, a left side, a front side, a back side, a width slightly less than the width of the captive flange, and an aperture coaxial with the aperture in the captive flange. A first vertical member connects the right side of the first horizontal member with the captive flange at a point slight right of the longitudinal axis and left of the right side, thus forming a right overhang for engaging a first solar panel. A second vertical member connects the left sides of the second and third horizontal members in such manner that a left overhang is formed, and this is adapted for engaging a second solar panel adjacent to the first panel. A third vertical member coplanar with the first vertical member connects the right sides of the second and third horizontal members. When a bolt is passed through the coaxial apertures and tightened, the clamp flexes and bows slightly outwardly.
