Support System for Solar Energy Generator Panels

Abstract

A support system for a solar panel comprises a plurality of legs configured to receive multiple solar panels. The legs each comprise a base, a plurality of shafts, and a support precipice. The support precipice is divided into two sides by a t-bar. The first side comprises a guiding wing to effectuate modular assembly of the support system. The second side comprises a beveled edge to effectuate secure coupling of a solar panel. The system is able to be assembled and disassembled without the use of tools or implements. The system is also movable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A leg for supporting a solar panel, comprising
 a. a base;   b. a plurality of support shafts coupled to the base; and   c. a support precipice, comprising a first side and a second side, coupled to the support shafts.   
     
     
         2 . The leg of  claim 1  further comprising a t-bar coupled to the support precipice for separating the first and second sides of the support precipice. 
     
     
         3 . The leg of  claim 2  wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are coupled by any one of spot welds, bolts, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The leg of  claim 1  wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are integrally formed as an extrudate. 
     
     
         5 . The leg of  claim 1  wherein the first side of the support precipice further comprises a guiding wing for guiding solar panels during assembly. 
     
     
         6 . The leg of  claim 5  wherein the guiding wing protrudes outward from the support precipice at an angle relative to a plane defined by one of the support precipice, base, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         7 . The leg of  claim 2  wherein the t-bar comprises an angled base for effectuating simple assembly. 
     
     
         8 . The leg of  claim 2  wherein the t-bar is bilaterally symmetrical. 
     
     
         9 . The leg of  claim 2  wherein the t-bar comprises lips to effectuate secure coupling of solar panels thereto. 
     
     
         10 . A system for supporting solar cells comprising a plurality of legs, wherein the legs each have a first and a second receptacle, wherein the first and second receptacles are each configured to receive the perimeter of a solar panel. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the first receptacle comprises a guiding wing to effectuate modular assembly. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the legs are configured such that the solar panel is substantially flat when supported by the legs. 
     
     
         13 . A leg for supporting a solar panel comprising:
 a. a base;   b. a plurality of support shafts coupled to the base;   c. a support precipice comprising a first receptacle and a second receptacle; and   d. a t-bar coupled to the support receptacle for separating the first receptacle and the second receptacle.   
     
     
         14 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein at least one of the first receptacle and the second receptacle comprise a guiding wing for effectuating modular assembly. 
     
     
         15 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are coupled by any one of spot welds, bolts, and a combination thereof 
     
     
         16 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein the base, plurality of support shafts, support precipice and t-bar are integrally formed as an extrudate. 
     
     
         17 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein the first receptacle further comprises a guiding wing for guiding solar panels during assembly. 
     
     
         18 . The leg of  claim 17  wherein the guiding wing protrudes outward from the support precipice at an angle relative to a plane defined by one of the support precipice, base, and a combination thereof. 
     
     
         19 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein the t-bar comprises an angled base for effectuating simple assembly. 
     
     
         20 . The leg of  claim 13  wherein the t-bar is bilaterally symmetrical. 
     
     
         21 . (canceled)
