Aerodynamic rear wind deflector for solar module fields

A solar panel system comprising:

• a solar panel module comprising a frame and photovoltaic panel mounted thereto, the solar panel module having a first length;
• a mounting arrangement comprising a post and a rail, the post being configured to support the solar panel module thereon;
• a wind deflector comprising a first end, a second end, a body extending therebetween, and a second length extending parallel to the first and second ends;
• and
• a clip configured to fit about the rail;
• wherein the first end is configured to be mounted to the post, and the second end is configured to be mounted to the rail;
• wherein the second length is shorter than the first length;
• wherein the wind deflector further comprises a first edge and a second edge, the second length extending between the first edge and the second edge;
• wherein, when the first end is mounted to the post and the second end is mounted to the rail, at least a portion of the solar panel module extends beyond both of the first edge and the second edge;
• wherein the body of the wind deflector further comprises:
• a first lip at the first end;
• a leg extending from the lip;
• a rounded portion extending from the leg;
• a flat portion extending from the rounded portion;
• and
• a second lip extending from the flat portion;
• wherein the first lip is configured to be mounted to the post and the second lip is configured to be mounted to the rail;
• wherein the clip is configured to engage with the second lip;
• wherein the second lip and the flat portion define a channel;
• wherein the clip comprises a bar configured to fit at least partially within the channel in order to mount the second lip to the rail;
• wherein the clip further comprises two arms extending from opposing ends of the bar, the two arms configured to engage opposing sides of the rail;
• and
• wherein the clip further comprises two hooks, each extending from one of the two arms, the two hooks configured to engage with a side of the rail opposite the side against which the wind deflector is mounted.
