Abstract: A solar panel mounting assembly including a cap that includes a secure-side wing, a catch-side wing, and an integral vertical leg that protrudes downwardly from the catch-side wing. The vertical leg is integral with the catch-side wing and has a top end and a bottom end. A plurality of inwardly facing corrugations are disposed at the bottom end of the vertical leg. The solar panel mounting assembly further includes a base that includes a secure-side support surface, a tilted spring support ledge on a catch-side, and a plurality of outwardly-facing corrugations disposed on an upper horizontal portion of the base. An inwardly-facing corrugation of the vertical leg contacts and engages an outwardly-facing corrugation on the upper horizontal portion of the base, and the base is vertically adjustable with respect to the cap.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting photovoltaic modules is disclosed. The apparatus includes a bracket where the bracket defines a slot in a lower portion of the bracket and the slot extends along a longitudinal length of the bracket. A clamp is securable to the bracket on an upper portion of the bracket. A first photovoltaic module and a second photovoltaic module are mountable on a first side of the bracket and a first side of the clamp, where the first photovoltaic module is adjacent to the second photovoltaic module. A footer is variably positionable on the bracket along the slot.

Abstract: A clamping mechanism includes a first fastener and a second fastener. The second fastener includes a head having a first rib with a first serration, a second rib with a second serration, a third rib with a third serration, and a fourth rib with a fourth serration. The first rib extends a first length and the first serration extends a second length that is less than the first length. The second rib extends a third length and the second serration extends a fourth length that is less than the third length. The third rib extends a fifth length and the third serration extends a sixth length that is less than the fifth length. The fourth rib extends a seventh length and the fourth serration extends an eighth length that is less than the seventh length. The second fastener includes a body coupled to the first fastener.

Abstract: A mounting system includes a mounting device. The mounting device includes an internal cavity defined in a side of the mounting device, a first sealant aperture defined in the mounting device and opening into the internal cavity, a second sealant aperture defined in the mounting device and opening into the internal cavity, the first sealant aperture and the second sealant aperture being in fluid communication when the mounting device is placed on a surface for use, and a fastener aperture defined through the internal cavity. The mounting system further includes a coupling bracket including a bottom portion, an underside surface of which is correspondingly shaped in conformance with a shape of an outer surface of a central portion of the mounting device so as to be accommodated thereon when in use, and a fastener to couple the mounting device and the coupling bracket together via the fastener aperture.
