SOLAR PANEL ROOF MOUNTING BRACKET AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A system for mounting at least one solar panel on a roof may include a plurality of panel mounting brackets each including a base to be positioned on the roof having a first opening(s) therein, and a vertical extension having a proximal end coupled to the base, a distal end, and a central portion extending between the proximal and distal ends. The distal end may define a fastener channel having a fastener slot opening vertically aligned with the first opening(s) in the base. The central portion may include a cross member(s) defining a second opening(s) therein vertically aligned with the fastener slot opening and the first opening(s) in the base. The system may further include a bracket fastener(s) to be inserted through the fastener slot opening, the second opening(s), and the first opening(s) of a respective panel mounting bracket and coupled to the roof.

1. A system for mounting at least one solar panel on a roof comprising:
a plurality of panel mounting brackets each comprising
a base to be positioned on the roof having at least one first opening therein, anda vertical extension having a proximal end coupled to the base, a distal end, and a central portion extending between the proximal and distal ends,wherein the distal end defines a fastener channel having a fastener slot opening vertically aligned with the at least one first opening in the base,wherein the central portion comprises at least one cross member defining at least one second opening therein vertically aligned with the fastener slot opening and the at least one first opening in the base; at least one bracket fastener to be inserted through the fastener slot opening, the at least one second opening, and the at least one first opening of a respective panel mounting bracket and coupled to the roof; and a plurality of clamps and corresponding clamp fasteners configured to couple the at least one solar panel with the fastener channel of a respective panel mounting bracket so that each clamp fastener is retained within the respective fastener channel and extends vertically upward through the fastener slot opening to the at least one solar panel.
