Abstract

A support frame for a solar panel comprises a channel member including a bottom panel, a front vertical panel extending upward from a front edge of the bottom panel, and a rear vertical panel extending upward from rear edge of the bottom panel. Front and rear support panels for engaging a bottom surface of the solar panel extend respectively from the upper ends of the front and rear vertical panels. The front and rear support panels lie in the same inclined plane. The support frame is secured to the roof structure by a clamping assembly.
