Provided are a system and method (1700) for a self-aligning system (100) for mounting at least one photovoltaic module (102) to a surface (104). The system includes a plurality of rails (110, 118), each rail (110, 118) having a plurality of slideably attached friction locking retainers (112), and a plurality of anchors (116) with fasteners (126) extending opposite from friction locking retainers (112). A collapsible separator (120) is coupled between the rails (110, 118) and structured and arranged to align the rails (110, 118) to each other at a pre-defined separation distance. Each friction locking retainer (112) structured and arranged to laterally slide (510) along a portion of each rail (110, 118) and remain as positioned by a user. Each friction locking retainer (112) further structured and arranged to grip and permit adjustment of at least one photovoltaic module (102) during mounting. An associated method (1700) of use is also provided. |
