Claim 22:
23. 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, the first weighted ballast including a first elongated slot;
a second weighted ballast configured for location along a portion of the second angled surface, the second weighted ballast including a second elongated slot;
at least one connector configured to be connected to the first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast via the first elongated slot and the second elongated slot, respectively, wherein the connector is configured to extend between the first weighted ballast and the second weighted ballast 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.
