Claim 23:
24. A support system for securing a wind turbine above an angled roof having a first angled surface, an opposite second angled surface, and a peak between the first angled surface and the second angled surface, the support system comprising:
a first weighted ballast configured for location along a portion of the first angled surface;
a second weighted ballast configured for location along a portion of the second angled surface;
at least one connector extending between and connecting a portion of the first weighted ballast and a portion of the second weighted ballast, the at least one connector extending over the peak; and
at least one mounting portion on the at least one connector for securing at least one wind turbine to the at least one connector, wherein the first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast are sized and weighted to maintain the at least one wind turbine above the peak during wind conditions,
wherein at least one of the first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast includes at least one receptacle for receiving at least one weighted tile configured to provide a weight to the at least one of the first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast.
