Bracket mount for securing solar panel rail guides on shingle roofs

A method of installing an apparatus for supporting a solar array comprising the steps of:

• a. securing a flashing further comprising a receiver to a roof;
• b. coupling a bracket to the receiver by rotating the bracket at a base at a first end of the bracket around the receiver until it is locked into place, the bracket further comprising a guide, wherein the guide comprises:
• i. a substantially U-shaped member that further comprises an aperture within the member;
• ii. a recess along a portion of the member that forms the perimeter of the aperture, wherein the recess is configured to allow a bolt to move vertically along the recess;
• and
• iii. a first and second end, the first and second ends further comprising a lip such that the recess terminates at each lip of the first and second ends;
• the lips protruding inward toward each other and are configured to prevent the bolt from escaping from the aperture
• c. coupling a solar panel rail guide to the guide.
