Abstract
A solar racking clamp and bracket eliminates the need for special clamps used with proprietary rails systems common in current solar panel installation designs. The racking clamp allows for the use of this clamp with common tubular pipe. Common pipe can be found in locally in first and third world countries. This invention has the ability to bring solar to more places due to the simplicity in design and ease of installation.
