System for mounting a solar module on a roof or the like and method of installing

A method of installing an array of solar modules, said method comprising:

• providing at least two separate mounting structures, wherein the said at least two separate mounting structures comprise:
• a plate adapted to be secured to a support surface, said plate having a top side, a bottom side, and a slot therein;
• and
• a bracket positioned in said slot in said plate and able to slide within the slot, allowing adjustment of the bracket, said bracket having means for receiving a fastener for securing a solar module to said at least two separate mounting structures;
• the said plate having a length and width, each of a dimension less than a width of said solar module;
• the said solar module having a frame;
• securing said at least two separate mounting structures on a support surface and spaced from each other at a distance equal to approximately a length of one side of the said solar module;
• positioning the said solar module across said at least two separate mounting structures;
• adjusting said bracket in one or both of said at least two separate mounting structures after said at least two separate mounting structures are secured to said support surface, thereby aligning holes in opposing sides of said solar module to said bracket of said at least two separate mounting structures;
• and
• passing fasteners through said holes in said solar module and into said respective mounting means of said brackets to thereby secure said solar module to said support surface.
