    Abstract: A mounting apparatus to secure a pair of solar panel rails to a S-tile roof and minimize penetrations or damage to the roof's rafter is provided. The mounting apparatus includes a lower hook assembly with a plate coupled to the roof's rafter and an upright tab coupled to the plate, and an upper arm assembly coupled to the lower hook assembly's upright tab, the upper arm assembly having a generally U-shaped member with a first symmetric half member and a second symmetric half member, each symmetric half member having a slot to receive a fastener that secures one of the pair of solar panel rails thereto. The upper arm assembly is slidably mounted to the upright tab of the lower hook assembly to permit height adjustments of the upper arm assembly relative to the S-tile roof. The apparatus can also be used with M, W and clay tile roofs.

    Abstract: A mounting apparatus to secure a pair of solar panel rails to a flat tile roof and minimize penetrations or damage to the roof's rafter is provided. The mounting apparatus includes a lower hook assembly with a plurality of arm members continuously connected together, the plurality of arm members having a first end coupled to the rafter of the flat tile roof and a second end, and an upper arm assembly coupled to the second end of the plurality of arms of the lower hook assembly, the upper arm assembly having a generally U-shaped member comprising a first symmetric half member and a second symmetric half member, each symmetric half member having a slot to receive a fastener that secures one of the pair of solar panel rails thereto, thereby permitting the mounting apparatus to support the pair of solar panel rails above the flat tile roof.

    Abstract: A mounting apparatus to secure a pair of solar panel rails to a metal tile roof and minimize penetrations or damage to a rafter of the roof is provided. The mounting apparatus permits the solar panel rails to support adjacent solar panels thereon. The mounting apparatus includes a lower assembly coupled to the metal tile roof and having a threaded screw and flashing disposed on a metal tile and coupled together, and an upper arm assembly coupled to the threaded screw of the lower assembly, the upper arm assembly having a generally U-shaped member with a first symmetric half member and a second symmetric half member, each symmetric half member of the first and second symmetric half members having a slot to receive a fastener that secures one of the pair of solar panel rails thereto.
