Micro-Inverter Solar Panel Mounting

A component clamping system comprising:

• a first solar panel, the first solar panel comprising a front surface and a back surface, the front surface comprising a photovoltaic collector, the first solar panel further comprising a frameless mounting area;
• an electronic component configured with one or more securements for mounting the electronic component to a frame surrounding a second solar panel;
• and
• a first adaptive clamp coupled to one or more securements of the electronic component and clamped to the frameless mounting area of the first solar panel by the application of compressive force to the front surface of the first solar panel and compressive force to the back surface of the first solar panel.

A system for securing an electronic component to a solar panel, the system comprising:

• an electronic component configured to be mounted on a frameless area of a first solar panel, the electronic component having a plurality of fastening points;
• a primary clamp comprising a plurality of securement areas that each coincide with one or more fastening point of the electronic component;
• and
• a first compression spacer, a second compression spacer, and a third spacer;
• wherein the primary clamp and the electronic component are coupled to each other and secured to the frameless area of the first solar panel, the frameless are of the first solar panel having a thickness,
• wherein the third spacer is positioned and configured to maintain a distance equal to or greater than the thickness of the first solar panel.

A solar panel clamp system comprising:

• a u-channel,
• the u-channel having a securement area sized and configured to be positioned around a frameless border of a first solar panel,
• the u-channel configured and sized to couple a component to the first solar panel,
• the u channel comprising a compressible material,
• the u-channel comprising one or more break away sections on the securement area and a safety,
• the safety configured to provide a visual or audible alarm when compressive forces exerted by a component secured to the first solar panel by the u-channel reach or exceed a compressive pressure threshold of the first solar panel.

A solar panel system having a frameless mounting area comprising:

• a photovoltaic component;
• a first clamp, a second clamp, and a third clamp, wherein each of the clamps is secured to a different portion of the photovoltaic component;
• wherein the first clamp exerts compressive forces on a front surface of a first solar panel and the component exerts opposing compressive forces on a back surface of the first solar panel, these compressive forces serving to secure the clamp and the photovoltaic component to a first frameless portion of the solar panel, and
• wherein the second clamp is secured to a different portion of the photovoltaic component and wherein the second clamp is compressively secured to a second frameless portion of the first solar panel using a means for exerting securing forces.
