A new mounting system for elevating and supporting objects such as solar panels and satellite dishes either upon a roof or above ground. The mounting system utilizes extruded aluminum horizontal members and a means to secure an object upon the horizontal members. This means to secure is an end clamp having a lip for gripping and either having a heeled distal end or one that instead of incorporating a heel, uses a wedge or half-moon washer to perform the same function. The heel, positioned above the horizontal member prevents the end clamp from rotating as it is screwed into frictional engagement with the member. Such rotation is undesirable since it would reduce the area of the lip in gripping contact with an adjacent object.
