An I-beam frame assembly for supporting a solar panel is disclosed. A solar panel having a four-sided frame is supported by the I-beam frame member along at least one side of the solar 5 panel. The I-beam has an elongate I-beam body having upper and lower portions which are spaced apart by an elongate laterally orientated column. The upper portion of the I-beam body has at least two walls protruding away from the upper surface of the upper portion of the I beam body and the height of the two walls is a portion of the width of a side of the frame of the solar panel. There is at least one solar panel frame support protrusion shaped to form a o channel below the solar panel frame support protrusion. The at least one solar panel frame support protrusion is located on the upper surface of each frame support protrusion located laterally of each of the two walls and running longitudinally along the upper surface of the upper portion of the elongate I-beam. There is an elongate top cap having at least one longate depending protrusion adapted to pass between the two walls located on the upper portion of 5 the I-beam body and a lower surface of an upper portion of the top cap extends laterally from the depending protrusion, wherein when a portion of a side of the frame of the solar panel abuts the upper surface of a frame support protrusion on the upper portion of the I-beam body, the elongate top cap is located such that the elongate depending protrusion passes between the two walls located on the upper portion of the I-beam body to support a respective portion of a 0 side of the frame of the solar panel. 140 142 102 154 -- 120{ FigreB Figure 1
