Resilient mounting clips, panel mount systems including the same, and associated methods. A resilient mounting clip includes a support structure engagement portion and a panel engagement portion with a plurality of edge extensions and a plurality of outboard panel supports. Each outboard panel support extends from a respective edge extension. Each outboard panel support is configured to move at least substantially parallel to a compression axis when the respective edge extension resiliently flexes with respect to the support structure engagement portion. A panel mount system includes at least one support structure, at least one resilient mounting clip, and at least two panels received by each mounting clip. A method of assembling a panel mount system includes positioning and securing a resilient mounting clip on a support structure and receiving each of a first panel and a second panel with the resilient mounting clip.

A clip is provided for use in retaining insulation in place during the construction of a wall. The clip of this invention is designed so as to be secured to a Z girt and so as to extend over the lower end of an insulation sheet thereabove.

An insertion rail for a solar panel mounting system is provided. The insertion rail has a mounting wall configured for connection to the solar panel mounting system, wherein the mounting wall is posited at a lower end of a first side of the insertion rail, a vertical leg coupled to the mounting wall at at least one location, wherein the vertical leg is positioned at a second side of the insertion rail, and at least one mating section located at an upper end of the insertion rail. The mating section has an upper tab, a lower tab and the upper tab and lower tab are configured to receive and secure a solar panel integrally therewith using an interference fit.

A double connector for butt-joining two components includes two connector components which can be pushed together as far as a locked assembly position and which each have an spreadable first end portion for inserting into a hole of a component, and a second end portion for spreading the first end portion of the other connector component in each case in the assembly position and at least one locking portion for interlocking the two connector components in the assembly position.

A solar panel mounting assembly having a rail having two opposing edges. An I-beam having a foot and a head separated by a spine is positioned such that the foot is within the rail and the head is outside of the channel. A gap is positioned between the head of the I-beam and the edges of the rail. One or more bolts is utilized that extends through the base of the rail and through the foot of the I-beam such that tightening the bolts causes the gap between the head of the I-beam and the edges of the rail to reduce in size. This causes the I-beam to tighten on a solar panel held in the gap, thus securing the I-beam in place.

Open-topped channels/troughs are often used as a footing in which glass panels may be placed and secured substantially vertically. A tapered wedge may be forced into the gap around the panel. As gradually wider portions of the wedge are forced into the gap, the panel is gripped ever tighter. However, it is often difficult to remove panels secured in this manner. The present invention provides a wedge support which can be separated into two portions by the insertion of a tool into a tool socket. In this way, if a wedge is used with the wedge support, the wedge support may be removed with the tool thereby permitting easy removal of the wedge.

A system for extending the height of an existing cubicle wall is herein disclosed. The system comprises a top cap overlay fitted with a vertical extension panel. The cross-section of the top cap overlay is uniform and consistent along its length. The top cap overlay includes a lower channel extending along the length of the top cap overlay for mounting to the top of an existing cubicle wall. The top cap overlay also includes at least one upper channel or groove extending along the length of the top cap overlay for receiving a length of vertical extension panel. The upper channel or groove comprises at least two walls extending from the top of the horizontal panel and spaced sufficiently apart to receive and hold the thickness or width of the vertical extension panel. Further improvements for the system are disclosed, along with a method for using the system.

A universal mounting system for supporting a plurality of photovoltaic modules on a sloped support surface, such as a sloped roof, is disclosed herein. The universal mounting system may include one or more support surface attachment devices, each support surface attachment device configured to attach one or more photovoltaic modules to a support surface; and one or more module coupling devices, each module coupling device configured to couple a plurality of photovoltaic modules to one another.

A connector system and method comprising a coupling with 3 walls defining a cavity. Disposed on the first side wall and second side wall are lips protruding into the cavity, such that a grooved board inserted into the cavity is in contact with the lips and back wall. Disposed on the walls are mounting holes, such that other apparatuses may be mounted to the mounting holes. The couplings may be mounted on other identical couplings or on couplings of different heights.
