Solar canopy connector system

Abstract

A solar canopy connector system for attaching a solar power array to a Zee channel, including: an anchor member for affixing to a top portion of a Zee channel and for resting against the bottom portion of two solar power arrays; a planar step section; a riser section; and an angled kick section for hooking an edge portion of a Zee channel. Also included is a head member for attaching to the anchor member for clamping the two solar power arrays between a bottom portion of the head member and a top portion of the anchor member, including an elongated form including multiple sections, the sections including: two vertical planar riser sections; a horizontal joiner section; two horizontal planar clamping sections, for clamping solar power arrays, thus forming a U-like assembly with flanges extending from the two top portions of the U-like assembly; where the head member can be affixed to the anchor member, where a bottom portion of the solar power arrays rests on a top portion of the planar step section of the anchor member, and a bottom portion of the planar clamping sections of the head member rests on a top portion of the solar power arrays, thereby clamping the two solar power arrays to the Zee channel.
