Storm hardened solar racking system

Abstract

A solar racking system for mitigating deformation and fatigue at critical joints and for providing increased clamping force between solar racking and solar panels is disclosed. The solar racking system includes one or more shock mount systems configured to reduce vibrations within the solar racking system, thereby preventing hole elongation and in turn, allowing the solar racking system to withstand critical wind events and other harsh weather conditions. Moreover, the solar racking system includes a dual clamp system having angled clamping plates and planar clamping plates configured to couple solar panels to racking of the solar system that provide increased clamping force, thereby providing maximum strength and vibration resistance.
