Abstract:
A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof having a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof-mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.

Claim (Index 1):
A roof mounting system for mounting a solar panel to a roof, the roof mounting system comprising:\n a roof substrate; a first roof mounting assembly including\n a first flashing positionable on the substrate, the flashing defining a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending therethrough, \n a first fastener extending through the aperture and into the roof substrate to couple the first flashing to the roof, and a first bracket coupled to the first flashing; a second roof mounting assembling including\n a second flashing positionable on the substrate, the flashing defining a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending therethrough, \n a second fastener extending through the aperture and into the roof substrate to couple the second flashing to the roof, and \n a second bracket coupled to the second flashing; and \n a track coupled to the first bracket by a third fastener and coupled to the second bracket by a fourth fastener,\n wherein the track is operable to support a solar panel on the roof at a distance above the roof substrate.
