Abstract: A coupling system for use with a solar tracker includes a support rail including a pair of opposed flanges disposed in spaced relation to one another and defining a channel therebetween, each of the pair of opposed flanges including a respective slot defined therethrough, and a coupling clip configured to be received within each of the slots and a portion of a module rail received within the channel of the support rail, wherein the coupling clip includes a resilient finger disposed on a distal end portion configured to engage a portion of the pair of opposed flanges to inhibit proximal movement of the coupling clip and a one protrusion disposed on a proximal portion thereof configured to engage a portion of an opposite flange of the pair of opposed flanges to inhibit distal movement of the coupling clip to couple the module rail to the support rail.
