ADJUSTABLE ROOF MOUNTING SYSTEM

摘要

An adjustable mounting system for mounting solar panels on roofs is disclosed. The system allows a user to mount the solar panels either with or without rails. The mounting assemblies are adjustable to allow the user to mount a base plate in a chosen location (either on a roof joist or other structural member or not) and to adjust the mounting location for the panel in as many as three axis of adjustment from the location of the base plate. A system for mounting and grounding the panels at the same time is also disclosed.

1. An electrically conductive grounding clip for mounting solar panels, comprising:
a top member having a bottom surface adapted to engage and compress against an underlying solar panel; a bushing having:
a lower portion disposed through an aperture in said top member; anda flanged upper portion with a lower surface that rests on a top surface of said top member, wherein said lower portion of said bushing is sized to rotate in said aperture; and a threaded bolt disposed through a threaded bore of said bushing, wherein upon a lower end of said threaded bolt engaging a support structure, said bushing may be threadably advanced along said threaded bolt to compress said bottom surface of said top member against the underlying solar panel.
