BRACKETS FOR MINIMAL PENETRATION MODULAR ROOF-TOP MOUNTING RACKS AND SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR USING THE BRACKETS

摘要

A modular, roof-mounted solar energy apparatus includes a mounting frame having a plurality of brackets. Each bracket having a first arm connected to a second arm at a connection point. The plurality of first arms form a first plane. The plurality of second arms form a second plane. Solar panels populate the planes. Also, there are ridge brackets and hip brackets for connecting various mounting frame portions over a ridgeline of a roof and across a hip of a hip roof.
