20120186632 | Mounting Assembly for Supporting a Solar Panel, and Method of Employing Same - A mounting assembly for a solar panel includes at least two laterally spaced-apart frames placed on a support surface. Each frame is selectively reconfigurable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. A spacer bracket extends generally perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of each frame. Opposing ends of the spacer bracket are attached to a portion of one of the frame. A solar panel is supported by at least a portion of each frame. The solar panel is positioned at an angle of less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees with respect to the support surface. | 07-26-2012 |
