摘要： A photovoltaic module with bottom mounting brackets attached to a first side and each having an extending flange with a top surface of a first character and top mounting brackets attached to a second side and each having an extending flange that defines a bottom surface of a second character, the flanges of the top mounting brackets extending over and engaging the flanges of the bottom mounting brackets of another of the photovoltaic modules, whereby the interconnected modules resist sliding separation during installation. A method of holding adjacent photovoltaic modules during installation on sloped surfaces is disclosed.

摘要： An elongated plate having a rail and defining lateral wings on opposing sides and a plurality of spaced-apart tabs extending below a plane defined by a bottom surface of the plate for engaging a tufted geotextile ground cover, said rail for receiving a fastener for engaging a bracket of a photovoltaic module thereto. Alternatively, a pair of U-shaped racks support adjacent photovoltaic modules in a series on a support surface, comprising a base and a pair of opposing elongated legs each having a support plate for supportingly engaging a respective one of two adjacent photovoltaic modules, and the base including spaced tabs projecting at an angle to dispose a respective distal end vertically spaced from a bottom surface of the base, for engaging a portion of the support surface.
