Modular structural framing system

1. A photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation comprising:

(a) a vertical I-beam support member,

(b) at least two friction clamps affixed to the vertical I-beam support member by thru bolts or set screws, wherein the at least two friction clamps include an upper friction clamp and a lower friction clamp

(c) a diagonal support brace,

(d) an I-beam top chord, wherein the I-beam top chord comprises two separate C-channels,

(e) at least one horizontal I-beam support member, and

(f) an I-beam rail member,

wherein the diagonal support brace is connected to the lower friction clamp affixed to the vertical I-beam support member by thru bolts,

wherein the other end of the diagonal support brace is connected to the I-beam top chord,

wherein the I-beam top chord is connected to the upper friction clamp affixed to the vertical I-beam support member by thru bolts,

wherein the horizontal I-beam support member is connected to the I-beam or C-channel top chord by a U-bracket capable of both connecting the I-beam top chord C-channels using thru bolts and connecting the horizontal support member using thru bolts,

wherein the I-beam rail member connects to the horizontal support members by a bracket capable of both connecting the I-beam flange of the rail member using a thru bolt and hooking the flange of the horizontal support member, and

wherein the photovoltaic panels connect to the I-beam rail member by brackets.

2. The photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation of claim 1 , further comprising a base foundation, to which the vertical I-beam support member is attached.

3. The photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation of claim 2 , wherein the base foundation is earthen ground.

4. The photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation of claim 2 , wherein the base foundation is concrete.

5. The photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation of claim 1 , wherein the vertical support member is a pile driven hot-rolled steel I-beam.

6. The photovoltaic structural framing system for ground mounted, high volume photovoltaic panel installation of claim 1 , wherein a 90 degree angle is formed between the diagonal support brace and top chord.

7. A combination of several photovoltaic structural framing systems of claim 1 .
