Claim 9:
10. A solar mounting system for a shipping container, comprising:
a shipping container;
laterally extending beams connected to the top of the shipping container, the laterally extending beams extending outwardly from top side edges of the shipping container;
support mounts connected to the laterally extending beams, the support mounts being positioned over the top of the shipping container;
a first set of longitudinal beams spanning between the support mounts at locations above the top of the shipping container;
a second set of longitudinal beams spanning between the laterally extending beams at locations to the sides of the shipping container;
PV module support rails extending between the first and second sets of longitudinal beams;
PV modules; and
PV module clamping systems connecting the PV modules to the PV module support rails, wherein the PV module clamping system comprises:
a plurality of locking pins received into the PV module support rails, each locking pin being positioned adjacent to an edge of a PV module along the length of the PV module support rail; and
a C-clamp dimensioned to wrap around one of the second set of longitudinal beams.
