Abstract
A rack for supportively mounting a solar collector to a mounting surface to set the angle of tilt with respect to the sun. One end of the rack is adapted to provide predominant support of the collector, while the other end is height adjustable to provide the proper angle and to accept tension and/or compression due to wind leading.
