Claims10
A solar module system comprising:
- a first solar module comprising a first frame structure configured with a first groove region disposed therein;
- a second solar module comprising a second frame structure configured with a second groove region disposed therein;
- an attachment member comprising a body, a first end region at the body and having a first spatial configuration, and a second end region at the body and having a second spatial configuration, the attachment member comprising a length provided between the first end region and the second end region, the first end region being configured to integrate the first spatial configuration with the first groove region by intimately coupling the first spatial configuration with the first groove region by initiating the intimate coupling along a first spatial direction relative to the first groove region;
- and the second end region being configured to intimately couple to the second groove region by initiating the intimate coupling along a second spatial direction that is different from the first spatial direction, while the initiating of the intimate coupling in the second spatial direction occurs while the first spatial configuration is firmly engaged with the first groove region, wherein the body further includes an opening extending along an opening longitudinal axis that intersects the first groove region and the second groove region, the opening configured to receive a locking member of a locking device with a locking member longitudinal axis oriented parallel to the opening longitudinal axis.
