PANEL MOUNTING FRAME AND METHOD

摘要

A support element (10) for mounting a solar panel has an elongate member (12) and two transverse members (14, 16), and may be fixed to a roof (112) via a fastener strap (80). Adjacent support elements (10) are connected in fixed juxtaposition via engagement means (70), to form a modular framework. Each support element has means (26) for releasably engaging a panel (120). The transverse members (14, 16) are located midway between the centre and either end of the elongate member (12), so that one can optionally form a triangular or diamond shaped framework by connecting support elements (10) in staggered rows of varying lengths.
