Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a structure and canopy for mounting of a photovoltaic panel. A structure of the disclosure may provide a rail mounting clip including a first segment shaped for mounting on a purlin surface, a second segment at a lateral end of the first segment and extending perpendicularly outwardly therefrom. A rail assembly is coupled to the rail mounting clip and has a slot substantially aligned with a centerline axis of the rail assembly. The slot receives the second segment of the rail mounting clip, and the rail assembly is shaped for mounting a photovoltaic panel thereon.
