Claim 8:
9. A clamp assembly for a glass-on-glass solar module, comprising:
a locking spacer, including:
a lower insulating region having an open, female region defined therethrough, the lower insulating region having a thickness;
an upper insulating region; and
a spacer region coupling the lower insulating region and the upper insulating region;

a key structure disposed on a lower surface of a glass-on-glass solar module and defining a male portion that is configured to be received within the open, female region of the lower insulating region of the locking spacer, the key structure having a height that is less than the thickness of the lower insulating region of the locking spacer;
an upper clamp structure; and
a lower clamp structure configured to be secured to the upper clamp structure, wherein the locking spacer is interposed between the upper clamp structure and the lower clamp structure to secure the upper insulating region and the lower insulating region to the key structure.
