1. A solar module racking system comprising:
a frame comprising a plurality of pre-wired receptacles for rapid assembly of a plurality of solar modules, the frame being configured to receive and mechanically support each module of the plurality of solar modules, the frame being configured to arrange the plurality of solar modules in a first planar direction, in a second planar direction, and in a vertical direction that is normal to the first and second planar directions, and each of plurality of pre-wired receptacles individually and electrically connect each of the plurality of solar modules after insertion of that module into the frame,
wherein the solar module racking system provides at least a 1 by 1 by 2 configuration for the plurality of solar modules corresponding to the first planar direction, the second planar direction, and the vertical direction where at least a first module and a second module are arranged and mechanically stacked in the vertical direction,
wherein the frame configured to top load and secure the first and second modules in the mechanically stacked vertical direction.
