Abstract: Disclosed herein is an integrated bonding mid clamp device for solar panel mounting and grounding, as well as a related system and method. The integrated bonding mid clamp includes a deformable toothed washer for breaking an anodized layer of a solar panel frame. The deformable toothed washer is capable of deforming to avoid obstructing proper contact between the mid clamp and the solar panel frame.
