Mounting clamps may be utilized to quickly and easily secure solar panel modules relative to mounting rails, which may in turn be secured relative to a mounting surface (e.g., a roof). The mounting clamps may be configured to quickly secure the solar pane modules relative to the mounting rails by tightening a tightening element to pull a clamp element toward the surface of a mounting rail, thereby clamping a portion (e.g., a frame) of a solar panel module between the clamping element and an outer surface of the mounting rail.

A fixing device (1) according to a present invention includes a pressing tool (10) that abuts a part of a peripheral portion of a panel that is arranged on an upper surface portion of a hollow rod-like rack member (200) that has on the upper surface portion a slit-like opening portion extending along a longitudinal direction, a fixing tool (20) that abuts a back surface of the upper surface portion, the fixing tool configured insertable to the opening portion, and having in one direction a width wider than a width in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the opening portion, and a fastening member (30) that integrally fixes the pressing tool (10) and the fixing tool (20) that abut a part of the peripheral portion of the panel and the back surface of the upper surface portion of the rack member (200), respectively.

Structures and methods for supporting solar panels are provided. The structure includes a plurality of tee extrusions, a plurality of legs, a plurality of trusses, a plurality of ridge rails, and a plurality of clips. The tee extrusions form two parallel tracks upon which the legs are secured. The legs project upward from the extrusions and are coupled to the trusses, which are above and perpendicular to the trusses. At least four legs support each truss. The ridge rails sit on the truss and a parallel to the extrusions. The solar panels sit on the ridge rails and are secured to the ridge rails by the clips.

A solar power generation assembly includes a first canopy wing positioned at a first predetermined inclination and a second canopy wing positioned at a second predetermined inclination, wherein the first and second canopies form a dual-incline structure and a main gutter is disposed between the first and second canopies. Additionally, at least one mounting rail gutter extends perpendicular to the main gutter and a secondary gutter extends parallel to the main gutter, wherein the secondary gutter directs precipitation to the mounting rail gutter and the mounting rail gutter directs precipitation into the main gutter, wherein the secondary gutter, the mounting rail gutter, and the main gutter are configured to provide both mounting and precipitation management functionality to the solar power generation assembly.
