Abstract:
A module bracket includes first and second mounting clips ( 202, 204 ) that are spaced from each other along the pitch of a roofing surface. An inlet ( 212 ) to the first mounting clip ( 202 ) faces or projects in the general direction that the second mounting clip ( 204 ) is spaced from the first mounting clip ( 202 ). An inlet ( 212 ) to the second mounting clip ( 204 ) faces or projects in the general direction that the first mounting clip ( 202 ) is spaced from the second mounting clip ( 204 ). A second module flange ( 134 ) of a first photovoltaic module ( 120 ) is slid into the first mounting clip ( 202 ) of the module bracket. A first module flange ( 128 ) of a second photovoltaic module ( 120 ) is slid into the second mounting clip ( 204 ) of this same module bracket.

Claim (Index 38):
A module bracket, comprising:\n a base portion comprising at least one aperture; two side portions extending from opposite sides of the base portion, the two side portions parallel to one another and angled relative to the base portion; and two mounting clips extending away from each other, each mounting clip comprising:\n a first section extending from one of the two side portions, the first section substantially parallel to the base portion; \n a second section comprising a free end adjacent to the first section, the free end deflectable away from the first section; and \n a hinge connecting the first section to the second section, the hinge integrally formed with the first section and the second section and configured to elastically deform when the free end is deflected away from the first section.
