Building assembly having standing seams with mounting devices disposed thereon

A building assembly, comprising:

• a building surface;
• a plurality of raised standing seams disposed in spaced relation to each other on said building surface;
• at least one mounting device comprising a first said mounting device, wherein each said mounting device is mounted on one of said plurality of standing seams, wherein each said mounting device comprises a mounting body that in turn comprises an exterior surface, a concave slot defining a portion of said exterior surface of said mounting body and that comprises first and second slot sidewalls, at least two threaded first holes that extend from part of said exterior surface of said mounting body, though said mounting body, and to said first slot sidewall, and a plurality of threaded screws each having a non-piercing end, wherein said slot of each said mounting device receives a portion of one of said plurality of standing seams, and wherein each said screw of each said mounting device is disposed in one said threaded first hole and engages only an exterior surface of one of said plurality of standing seams;
• and
• an attachment secured to said first said mounting device.
