Abstract

See full text

In various representative aspects, a clamp assembly that secures a solar panel module to a rail support structure that utilizes a generally L-shaped clamp in combination with a t-bolt such that the t-bolt fits through an aperture in the L-shaped clamp. This enables the foot of the t-bolt to be inserted into a guide on the top of the rail support structure so that the clamp can subsequently secure the solar panel module to the rail support structure by using a nut to rotate and tighten the t-bolt within the guide and the top of the clamp is then tightened with continuous rotation of the binding bolt, which also enables raised portions on the foot of the t-bolt and top of the clamp to penetrate surface layers of the rail support and the solar panel module respectively to create an electrical bonding path between the solar panel module and the rail support structure.
