Modified clamp

A power-generating system comprising:

• a plurality of photovoltaic modules;
• a mounting system connecting each photovoltaic module of the plurality of photovoltaic modules, the mounting system comprising:
• one or more frames, wherein each frame is associated with one or more photovoltaic modules of the plurality of photovoltaic modules and each frame defines an opening in a lateral side;
• and
• a bracket mounting assembly associated with each frame, the bracket mounting assembly comprising:
• a top member including a first surface;
• a clamp comprising:
• a second surface configured to interface with the first surface;
• an arm projecting above the top member;
• and
• a flange at a top of the arm, the flange comprising an ear that is configured to be inserted into the opening on the lateral side of the frame;
• a bolt passing through the top member such that a tightening of the bolt causing a sliding engagement between the first surface and the second surface to cause the clamp to move relative to the frame and to interlock the ear with the opening of the frame;
• an angled bottom member connected to the top member at opposite ends of the top member;
• a ring that defines a beam insertion aperture between the top member and the angled bottom member;
• and
• a torsion beam inserted through the angled bottom member, wherein tightening the bolt moves the clamp relative to the frame causing the ear to interface with the opening of the frame in a direction towards the torsion beam;
• and
• a motor configured to supply motion to the torsion beams.
