A bracket includes a base configured to be mounted to a mounting surface and a flange extending from the base and positioned to bisect the base thereby forming a first side and a second side of the base. The base includes a first hole disposed along a central axis of the base and in the first side of the base, a second hole disposed along the central axis of the base and in the second side of the base, and one or more divots formed in a top side of the base and disposed on the first side of the base. Fasteners are inserted through the first hole and the second hole when the bracket is secured to a first mounting structure. Furthermore, fasteners are inserted through the first hole, the second hole, and are drilled through the one or more divots when the bracket is secured to a second mounting structure.

Reconfigurable PV panels can have features that include cut lines for separating full panels into smaller subpanels, connector ribbons for assembling several reconfigurable PV panels into a one-dimensional or two-dimensional array and can be stacked upon each other and unstacked by rotating them about a shared connection.

A ventilated multilayer dynamic digital filter for photovoltaic panels includes a LED front panel, an intermediate panel having a photovoltaic surface, and a rear panel, the panels indirectly overlapping each other so that interspaces are created between the panels which are configured to allow the heat to circulate within the digital filter. Described herein is also the use of the digital filter for exterior cladding of facades and/or roofs of buildings, with the possibility of changing the patterns/textures of the cladding and improving the energy efficiency of a building.
