Abstract:
Bonding clamps used to assembly photovoltaic (PV) arrays and provide an electrical bond between PV module frames forming part of the PV arrays is provided. The bonding clamp includes an electrically conductive body, at least one electrical bonding member extending from the body, and at least one pressure member extending from the body. The bonding clamp may also include one or more spacers to provide a uniform spacing between PV module frames.

Claim (Index 12):
A bonding clamp comprising:\n an electrically conductive body having a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, and a mounting structure for receiving a mounting fastener; a plurality of pressure members extending from the electrically conductive body, wherein each pressure member is offset from the bottom surface of the electrically conductive body such that a structure engaging surface of each pressure member lies in a different plane than the bottom surface of the electrically conductive body, and wherein each pressure member is capable of applying pressure to the one or more structures to be clamped; a plurality of electrical bonding members extending from the electrically conductive body such that at least a portion of each of the plurality of electrical bonding members extends below the structure engaging surface of adjacent pressure members and is capable of piercing non-conductive surfaces on one or more structures to be clamped; a first spacer member extending from the first end of the electrically conductive body; and a second spacer member extending from the second end of the electrically conductive body.
