The patent application (Publication Number: US20240039459A1) describes a photovoltaic module mounting system that includes a unique module clamp design. The module clamp consists of a central section with two first walls connected by a first connecting surface, along with ends that have two second walls connected by a second connecting surface, forming a bowtie shape. The system also includes a torque tube band coupled to the module clamp for secure mounting. Additionally, the ends of the module clamp feature slots aligned with openings in the photovoltaic module, and flanges extend horizontally from the walls for added stability.
Furthermore, the patent application details another embodiment of the photovoltaic module mounting system with a different module clamp design. This design includes a central section with two first walls and a mounting surface, along with first and second ends that are shorter in height but wider in width than the central section. A channel extends between the ends, featuring a cutout section that widens near the central section. The system also includes pivot fasteners coupling the torque tube band to the module clamp, spanning the cutout section. The unique design of this system allows for a bowed shape from the ends to the central section, providing enhanced structural support for the photovoltaic modules.
