Abstract
A mounting rail may be configured to couple to a first photovoltaic (PV) module and a second PV module. The mounting rail may include a hooked mechanism and an attachment feature. The hooked mechanism may at least partially define an aperture configured to receive a portion of a first module frame associated with the first PV module. The hooked mechanism may also physically engage with a surface of the first module frame to couple the first module frame to the mounting rail and to prevent the first module frame from unintentionally uncoupling from the mounting rail. The attachment feature may interface with a second module frame associated with the second PV module to couple the second module frame to the mounting rail.
