摘要： In one or more arrangements a system, method, and bracket assembly for installing photovoltaic panels is presented. The system includes one or more photovoltaic panels and a support structure to mount the photovoltaic panels on and one or more bracket assemblies. The bracket assembly includes a first section, a second section, and a living hinge operably connecting the first section and the second section. The living hinge is configured to move the first section and the second section between an unclamped position, where first section and second section are positioned at a greater angle with respect to each other, and a clamped position, where first section and second section are positioned at a lesser angle with respect to each other to secure the photovoltaic panel to the support structure. The brackets may self-square the photovoltaic panel to the cross bar when the bracket is clamped.
