During an installation of solar panels, multiple mounting brackets are attached to solar panel frames. An installer may use a wedge through module frame and mounting bracket slots to securely attach a mounting bracket to a panel frame. A typically installation process is implemented manually with a wedge loaded individually for installation. The cost-effectiveness of this approach works fine within smaller solar deployments but struggles to cost-effectively scale to large solar systems as described below. Embodiments of automatic wedge loading are disclosed for solar panel installation with improved efficiency. The implementation of automatic wedge loading provides an easy and streamlined method to reload wedges on an installation tool. An installer may continue installation process almost un-interruption with ample loaded wedge magazines.
