Abstract
Embodiments for PV modules with integrated mounting systems are presented. Application of the systems are found primarily but not solely in commercial and industrial rooftop solar installations. The disclosed self-aligning components are easily installed both in North-South and in East-West geometry scenarios, resulting in greatly reduced complexity and installation time. The use of polymeric or fiber reinforced polymeric frames and mounting structures eliminates the need for grounding. Features are presented which remove the need to have any tooling or hardware along with the installation. In addition, the presented structures support the PV laminates strategically and enable the use of thinner glass, thereby reducing overall system weight. Installing the systems adhesively, such as on membrane roofs, eliminates the need for ballast pavers and further reduces overall system weight, making it attractive for rooftop installations that would otherwise not be strong enough to support a ballasted PV module installation.
