A tiered mounting system includes a base plate including a mounting guide rail having a plurality of mounting grooves that extend along opposing sides of the guide rail. The system also includes an object mount connector having a plurality of mounting ridges. The object mount connector is configured to: slidingly engage the mounting guide rail via insertion of one or more of the plurality of mounting ridges within a corresponding one or more of the plurality of mounting grooves, and lock in place along the mounting guide rail via a bolt placed through the object mount connector and secured tightly to an inner track of the mounting guide rail.

The present invention relates to a tie rod (13) capable of being fastened at two fastening points of a structure, said tie rod (13) having a first fastening end (15) comprising a first circular opening (17), and a second fastening end (16) comprising a second circular opening (18). According to the invention, the tie rod (13) has a washer (19) which is provided with an off-centre orifice (21), said washer (19) being received concentrically in the second circular opening (18) and being movable in rotation in said second circular opening (18) so as to modify the position of the off-centre orifice (21) in order to vary an interaxial fastening distance between said off-centre orifice (21) and the first circular opening (17).

The invention concerns a truss structure including a plurality of longitudinal members extending parallel to one another in a main extension direction and crossmembers (9) distributed in the main extension direction to connect the longitudinal members mechanically two-by-two, forming a plurality of polygons (11) each contained in a plane perpendicular to the main extension direction.

According to the invention, each crossmember (9) connecting two longitudinal members includes a first half-crossmember (9a) with a first end connected to one of the two longitudinal members so as to be able to pivot about a first axis (X1-X′1) and a second half-crossmember (9b) a first end of which is connected to the other of the two longitudinal members so as to be able to pivot about a second axis (X2-X′2). The two half-crossmembers are connected to one another by an articulation hinge (13) allowing relative rotation of the two half-crossmembers (9a, 9b) about a third axis (X3-X′3). The first, second and third axes are parallel to one another and orthogonal to the main extension direction, allowing the truss structure and each crossmember (9) to pass from a deployed position to a folded position in which the first and the second half-crossmembers (9a, 9b) of each crossmember (9) extend substantially parallel one alongside the other in said main extension direction.

A solar panel mounting assembly including a cap that includes a secure-side wing, a catch-side wing, and an integral vertical leg that protrudes downwardly from the catch-side wing. The vertical leg is integral with the catch-side wing and has a top end and a bottom end. A plurality of inwardly facing corrugations are disposed at the bottom end of the vertical leg. The solar panel mounting assembly further includes a base that includes a secure-side support surface, a tilted spring support ledge on a catch-side, and a plurality of outwardly-facing corrugations disposed on an upper horizontal portion of the base. An inwardly-facing corrugation of the vertical leg contacts and engages an outwardly-facing corrugation on the upper horizontal portion of the base, and the base is vertically adjustable with respect to the cap.

The present disclosure describes a solar power system including rails, solar modules, and a plurality of adjustable clips to secure the solar modules to the rails. The clips include at least a base member, an elastomeric support member, a bracket member, and an alignment member configured to secure the various members of the clip together. The adjustable clips are configured to slide within a slot defined through a portion of a surface of a rail and including a recessed edge thereby allowing the rail system to accommodate solar modules of varying dimensions.

Systems and methods for quickly and securely interconnecting foundation components when axially misaligned without hydraulic tools. Upper to lower leg connections are made with threaded connections or with ball and socket connections that permit angular adjustment. One or more retaining nuts bias the connection to lock it in place at the desired orientation. Foundation component to single-axis tracker connections are facilitated by various wedge and clamp connector assemblies that rely on mechanical engagement to lock components in place and resist axial forces. Other connections are made with hemispherical washers and adapter plates that enable rigid connections through a range of angles.

An adaptor for connecting a ground screw to an upright beam of a solar panel support assembly includes (a) a cylindrical connector having an open ground-screw receiving bottom end and a top end, the cylindrical connector having an inner circumferential surface with a diameter slightly larger than that of the ground screw and at least two sets of bolt holes, each set of bolt holes including at least three bolt holes uniformly distributed circumferentially about the cylindrical connector at an axial level, and the at least two sets of bolt holes being axially distanced from one another; (b) an intermediate plate having a top surface and a bottom surface fixed to the top end of the cylindrical connector; and (c) an upright beam connector fixed to the top surface of the intermediate plate and extending upward from the intermediate plate.
