Patent attributes
A solar panel end clamp that with other components can mount solar panels of various heights or thicknesses to roofs. The solar panel end clamp includes a clamp leg and a clamping member that is pivotally attached to the clamp leg. The clamping member engages the frame top surface and frame side surface of the solar panel. A fastener assembly secures the end clamp assembly to a solar panel mounting platform such as a rail or rail-less mounting structure. As the fastener assembly is tightened, the clamp leg pivots about the panel clamp, the second end of the clamp leg distal to the pivot end moves away from the solar panel, creating pressure against the solar panel mounting platform, causing the panel clamp to move downward, and securing the frame top surface and frame side surface.
