A bonding jumper clip for electrically and mechanically joining two or more solar panel frames has a jumper portion with a first and second clip portion on opposably disposed on the outer edges of the jumper portion. The clip is made of one piece of metal and the clip portions have teeth that are punched, deformed and bent to form a selected clip geometry with a plurality of inwardly pointing teeth that penetrate through a protected surface of the solar panel frames, such as an anodized aluminum coating in order to electrically connect the frames together when the edges of the frames are inserted therein. A single ground is provided that it then electrically connected through the conductive frames to commonly ground the entire installation. The length of the jumper portion is selected to match the size of the frames being installed.
