Abstract
A photovoltaic module mounting system may include a right-hand support runner and a left-hand support runner. The support runners collectively define a rooftop contacting plane and a photovoltaic module support plane oriented at a predetermined angle relative to the rooftop contacting plane. The support runners may be interconnected with each other, and with additional support runners, to form an interconnected support structure that can be used to mount an array of photovoltaic modules upon a planar surface such as a building rooftop.
