1. A stackable ballasted roof mounting solar panel mount unit integrally formed into a single piece comprising: a plurality of generally elevated side walls of a ballast receiving basket, wherein each of the generally elevated side walls taper upward and inward from a generally downward facing peripheral edge to an apex ridge of each of the generally elevated side walls to form an outer face and then tapers downward and inward from the apex ridge of each of the generally elevated side walls to form an inner face and further extends inward from the base of the inner face to form a ballast supporting basket lip, wherein each of the generally elevated side walls define a downwardly facing open channel that is configured to receive a corresponding side wall from a corresponding solar panel mount in a stacking relation; and a first pair of posts, wherein each of the first pair of posts extend upward from the peripheral edge to the top of the first pair of posts at a first predetermined height above the generally elevated side wall to form the outer side of each of the first pair of posts, wherein each of the first pair of posts taper downwardly and inwardly from the top of each of the first pair of posts to form the generally inner side of each of the posts, wherein each of the first pair of posts forms a downwardly facing post receiving first mouth that is configured to receive a corresponding post from a corresponding first pair of posts of a corresponding solar panel mount in a stacking relation.
