    Abstract: An assembly for mounting a photovoltaic panel includes a support that includes first and second parallel flange surfaces and mounting clamp bases each fastened to an associated one of the parallel flange surfaces. Each of the mounting clamp bases includes a clamp base web including through holes longitudinally aligned along the web; domed uptakes radially extending from the clamp base web, where the domed uptakes separate the clamp base web from opposing longitudinally extending channels each formed from an associated channel base surface, an associated channel sidewall and channel top surface; opposing upright fingers extend from the channel top surfaces in a direction perpendicular to the clamp base web surface, where each of the upright fingers includes one or more serrated edges on each of its longitudinal sidewalls; and chamfered mounting clamp base protuberances that extend from the clamp base web.

    Abstract: A method of determining post elevations in a single axis solar tracker that includes a tracker row with a plurality of posts, comprises providing location data (X, Y) in a plane for each of the plurality of posts in the row, and for each of the plurality of posts in the tracker row providing elevation data (Z) indicative of post elevation with respect to the plane. The method automatically generates nonlinear curve fit data that assigns initial post elevation values for each of the plurality of posts in the tracker row. For each of the plurality of post locations in the tracker row, the method automatically compares the initial post elevation values against a numerical constraint, and assigns a new initial post elevation value if the numerical constraint is violated. This method reduces the quantity of grading or extra support lengths needed to accommodate undulation of the terrain. The method may also use an iterative approach without using a curve fit.

    Abstract: A mounting assembly comprises a reinforcement channel configured to nest around a first base of a first hat-shaped channel wherein the first hat-shaped channel is configured to nest around a second base of a second hat-shaped channel and the second hat-shaped channel is configured to nest around a load distributing channel. The mounting base, the reinforcement channel, the first hat-shaped channel, the second hat-shaped channel and the load distributing channel are configured to be removable with respect to a fastener along the fastener axis. The fastener is received through coaxial apertures located within the mounting base, the reinforcement channel, the first hat-shaped channel, the second hat-shaped channel and the load distributing channel. The channels are of a certain length that is sufficient to add stiffness to an object being supported by the mounting assembly.
