Maybe, but these aren’t fittings, they’re ground mounts with large screws that screw into the ground to hold the entire array down, including under high wind (and have to come with PE stamped system-level engineering drawings talking about things like rated wind load of the whole array to pass building inspections).

But yeah, at the end of the day, just bent bars of aluminum with ground screws and bolts to hold the corners of the panels, versus the technological marvels of the solar panels they hold.
