Abstract:
A bracket for installing photovoltaic modules on a tile roof. The bracket can have a base portion adapted to sit on a flat roof surface below a tile. A pair of curved portions above the base portion can be supported by a pair of vertical portions. A riser portion can be connected to the pair of curved portion and rising in a direction perpendicular to a roof surface. A flange can be connected to and be perpendicular to the riser portion and parallel to the base.

Claim (Index 6):
A bracket for supporting photovoltaic modules on a tile roof, the bracket comprising:\n a base portion defining a first plane; a first upwardly extending portion connected to the base portion and extending away from the first plane in a first direction; a second upwardly extending portion connected to the base portion and extending away from the first plane in the first direction; a first curved portion connected to the first upwardly extending portion, wherein the first curved portion extends away from the first upwardly extending portion in a second direction substantially parallel to the first plane, and wherein the first curved portion includes a concave surface facing away from the first plane; a second curved portion connected to the second upwardly extending portion, wherein the second curved portion extends away from the second upwardly extending portion in the second direction, wherein the first and second curved portions define sides of an opening separating the first and second curved portions, and wherein the second curved portion includes a convex surface facing away from the first plane; a first riser portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the first curved portion in a third direction away from the first plane; a second riser portion extending substantially perpendicularly from the second curved portion in the third direction away from the first plane; and a mounting flange connecting the first and second riser portions, wherein the mounting flange is positioned further from the first plane than the first and second curved portions.
