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 1):
A bonding clamp comprising:\n an electrically conductive body having a bottom surface and a mounting structure for receiving a mounting fastener; a plurality of pressure members, each of the plurality of pressure members having a structure engaging surface and extending from the electrically conductive body such that the engaging surface is offset from and substantially parallel to the bottom surface, the structure engaging surface 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 at an angle relative to the bottom surface, each of the plurality of electrical bonding members having at least one piercing surface that extends beyond the structure engaging surface of adjacent pressure members so that the at least one piercing surface is capable of piercing non-conductive surfaces on the one or more structures to be clamped; and at least one spacer member extending from the electrically conductive body at an angle relative to the bottom surface of the electrically conductive body.
