Abstract:
A mounting system for mounting a solar module to a support structure is described. The mounting system includes one or more module connectors that couple one or more support rails, to one or more module rails.

Claim (Index 1):
A mounting system comprising:\n one or more support structure rails (\u201csupport rails\u201d), each of which is designed to attach to one or more support structures and includes an extending portion; one or more module attachment rails (\u201cmodule rails\u201d), each of which is designed to attach to one or more modules and includes an engaging surface and sidewalls that are configured to define, inside each of said module rail, a channel cavity, and wherein said sidewalls include one or more internal lip features that extend towards and along a length of said channel cavity, and wherein said internal lip features define one or more locking surfaces; one or more module connectors, each of which is designed to couple at least one of said support rail to at least one of said module rail, and each of said module connectors include a support structure receiving portion having defined therein a receiving cavity having inner receiving surfaces, that further includes an outer boundary of a contacting surface, and that further includes one or more connecting portions, each of which includes one or more lockable surfaces; and wherein, in an assembled configuration of said mounting system, one or more of said module connectors are inserted into one or more of said module rails such that said contacting surface of each of said module connectors contacts said engaging surface of one and/or another of said module rails and one or more of said lockable surfaces of each of said module connectors engages with one or more of said locking surfaces of one and/or another of said module rails to lock one or more of said module connectors inside one or more of said module rails and wherein said extending portion of each of said support rails is received inside each of said receiving cavity of each of said module connectors such that one or more of said module connectors couple to one or more of said support attachment rails.
