a first portion with ferromagnetic properties;
a second portion configured to engage with a latch when in the engaged position;
a hinge that hingedly connects the first portion and the second portion; and
a locking mechanism disposed on a first side of a photovoltaic panel to be locked in place, at least a portion of the photovoltaic panel being magnetically neutral,, wherein when the ferromagnetic lock is in the engaged position, the first portion is in a first position that forces the hingedly connected second portion to engage with the latch; and, when the ferromagnetic lock is in the disengaged position, the first portion is in a second position that forces the hingedly connected second portion to disengage from the latch, thereby locking the locking mechanism.
