Abstract: The specification and drawing figures describe and show a low profile mounting system that includes a at least one rail. A plurality of tracks is formed in the rail with opposing jaws. The opposing jaws define a slot. The opposing jaws are disposed in the rail asymmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the rail. At least one ledge monolithically extends from the rail for holding an object such as a solar panel. A coupler is provided for demountably connecting a solar panel to the rail. A cleat also is provided for attaching the system to a surface. A connector connects the rail to the cleat. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure, but this abstract is not to be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of any claim.

Abstract: A system for removably and adjustably mounting a device on a surface is provided. The system for removably and adjustably mounting a device on a surface, according to the present invention, includes an apparatus and method useful for removably and adjustably mounting one or more photovoltaic modules on a surface such as a roof, and includes one or more dual track rails. Also included are at least one clamp configurable in at least two different constructions for securing the rails to a footing grid.
