Abstract:
A roof mounting system for the attachment of an article to a roof, the system comprising a plurality of PV modules each having at least one corner and a frame member, a flashing member having a top surface; an upstanding sleeve attached to the top surface of the flashing member; an elevated water seal having a borehole formed therethrough, the elevated water seal further comprising at least one screw for providing a waterproof seal between the article and the roof structure; and whereby the plurality of PV modules are interlocked in a way to provide a corner-to-corner coupling arrangement supported above the roof through the frame members of the plurality of PV modules.

Claim (Index 1):
A waterproofing roof mounting system for attaching at least one solar module to a roof, the system comprising:\n a. a roof having a roof surface; b. a plurality of mounts, each of the plurality of mounts comprising:\n i. a base having a first surface adjacent the roof surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; \n ii. a base projection extending away from the roof surface, the projection comprising a distal end having a distal end aperture; \n iii. a block comprising a substantially horizontal portion and a substantially vertical portion, wherein the substantially horizontal portion has an opening and is configured to fit over the base and base projection, and wherein the vertical portion has a slotted opening; \n iv. a tightening means attaching the block and base to the roof, the tightening means having a long portion and a head portion; and \n v. a sealing washer between the head portion and the projection distal end, \n c. a plurality of structural members each attached to the block vertical portion and each comprising a top portion and a groove in the top portion extending the length of each structural member; and d. a plurality of clamp assemblies each connected to the at least one solar module and each configured to connect to the top portion one of the structural members.
