Abstract:
1. Solar panel edge fixtures and installations comprising: a. at least one solar panel; b. at least two sets of edge fixtures are each parallel positioned and clipped to an edge of the at least one solar panel, each set of the edge fixtures comprise a pedestal including at a horizontal rectangular stand built with at least two flanges placed evenly around a central axis and positioned at the upper surface of the rectangular stand which is built with at least two installation holes; a vertical rectangular stand perpendicularly conjoins to an edge of the horizontal rectangular stand and opens at least two slots to conjoin to at least two semi-hollow cylinders which extend to the edge of the horizontal rectangular stand, the at least two semi-hollow cylinders are each placed perpendicularly from the upper surface of the rectangular stand and positioned around the central axis of the horizontal rectangular stand; a built in screw pole placed to the center of each semi-hollow cylinder and perpendicularly positioned from the upper surface of the rectangular stand; wherein the pedestal includes at least two rubber flanges that are each to be fitted and bound with glue into each of the built in flanges; wherein the at least two sets of the edge fixtures are each comprising a top cover including at a top horizontal rectangular stand, at least two built in semi-cylinders extend to and are each positioned from a central axis of the horizontal rectangular stand, at least two built in threaded holes are each positioned at the same central axis as the semi-cylinders, at least two built in flanges are each positioned at the bottom surface of the top horizontal rectangular stand aligned at the same central axis of each flange of the horizontal rectangular stand of the pedestal; wherein the top cover includes at least two rubber flanges that are each to be fitted and bound with glue into each of the built in flanges, the at least one solar panel mounted between the rubber flanges of the top covers and the rubber flanges of the pedestals at least two sides of the at least one solar panel, the top cover is capable to move up or down along the slots to tighten the solar panel with the screw poles and bolts; c. i) at least two frame members are each configured generally to at least one hole at each corner of the at least one solar panel and trimmed a desired angle at both ends of the frame member, wherein the at least two frame members are each parallel positioned to a side of the at least one solar panel, and wherein the at least two cross brace members connected to the at least two frame members at ends without trimming angles at each of second joints which tightened by at least one set of fasteners including a screw and a bolt, through the hole of the cross brace member which is positioned at top of the second joint, the hole of a flat plate, and the hole of the frame member; wherein the at least two cross brace members are each configured to at least two installation holes placed around a central axis of the cross brace member which correspond to the at least two installation holes of each pedestal, at least one set of fastener included a screw and a bolt to tighten through the hole of the pedestal and the hole of the cross brace member, the at least two sets of the edge fixtures clipped to two sides of the at least one solar panel through the flanges and pressured by the top covers, tightened by the screw poles and bolts.
