Abstract:
A mounting system for supporting a plurality of photovoltaic modules on a sloped support surface, such as a sloped roof, is disclosed herein. The mounting system may include one or more support surface attachment devices, each support surface attachment device configured to attach one or more photovoltaic modules to a support surface; and one or more module coupling devices, each module coupling device configured to couple a plurality of photovoltaic modules to one another.

Claim (Index 1):
A support surface attachment device, said support surface attachment device configured to attach one or more photovoltaic modules to a support surface, said support surface attachment device comprising:\n a rotatable base member, said rotatable base member being pivotal about a central rotational axis, said rotatable base member configured to be attached to a support surface; and a clamp assembly configured to engage one or more photovoltaic modules, said clamp assembly coupled to said rotatable base member; wherein said clamp assembly is capable of being selectively positioned along a circumferential path of said rotatable base member prior to said rotatable base member being fixed in place relative to said support surface so as to permit adjustability when said one or more photovoltaic modules are being attached to said support surface.
