A flag attachment apparatus includes a first planar portion and a second portion. The first planar portion includes a first side and a second side, a plurality of ribs on the first side, and a deflectable middle portion disposed between two slits. The second portion includes a first angle plate and a second angle plate, both attached to a first end of the first planar portion and proceeding outward from the first planar portion such that a first angle is formed between the first angle plate and the second angle plate.

A slide-on spring damp for installing solar panels has a slide portion with a centrally located slot. The slot is used to attach the slide-on clamp to a solar panel mounting base using an attachment bolt that allows the installer to locate and secure a solar panel frame from the top without having to access the underside. The slide-on clamp has a clamp portion that has a reverse curve portion that curves back over itself to form a resilient gripping portion. The reverse curve portion has locking teeth located on the interior surfaces that lock the frame in place when inserted in the slide-on clamp. A stop portion is disposed the end of the slide portion. The method includes inserting a slide-on clamp on opposite sides of the frame so that the frame has at least four slide-on clamps thereon and then securing them to the mounting bases.
