About raylock
Designed by Mariah Dhali, B.F.A. in Design
Raylock is a 3D-printed, small-scale solar mounting system that enables solar panels to be installed virtually anywhere. It features two sets of hinges that attach directly to the panel frame. Its modular design supports panels of varying sizes and heights, allowing for efficient and adaptable installation.
Each set contains a hinge, cover plate, wire thread, and a carabiner. The hinge backing features three holes that allow the wire thread to be fed through and secured in place with a carabiner. The hinge hooks onto the frame of a panel, while the cover plate ensures a secure and stable connection.
Solar energy is one of the fastest growing and most efficient renewable energy sources, yet many people lack access due to property restrictions, high installation costs, and inadequate roofing. Raylock was created as a DIY solution, empowering individuals to access clean, renewable energy on their own terms.
