Abstract

A wind deflector for a solar panel module and mounting system may include a body having a rounded portion and a flat portion extending from the rounded portion; a leg extending from the rounded portion; a first lip extending from the leg; and a second lip extending from the flat portion. The first and second lips may be configured to engage with corresponding mounting components of a mounting system for a solar panel module, so that the wind deflector is aligned along a length of the solar panel module, and the length of the wind deflector may be less than the length of the solar panel.
