An exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a solar panel truss mounting system comprising a base and a truss assembly coupled to the base. The truss assembly comprises a first panel rail mount, second panel rail mount parallel to the first panel rail mount, base rail mount parallel to the first and second panel rail mounts, and a plurality of support members. A first portion of the plurality of support members extends between the first and second panel rail mounts. A second portion of the plurality of support members extends between the first panel rail mount and the base rail mount. A third portion of the plurality of support members extends between the second panel rail mount and the base rail mount. The system can further comprise a plurality of connectors for coupling a plurality of photovoltaic solar panels to the truss assembly.

1. A truss mounting system, comprising a truss assembly, comprising:a first panel rail mount;a second panel rail mount parallel to the first panel rail mount;a base rail mount parallel to the first and second panel rail mounts; anda plurality of support members, a first portion of the plurality of support members extending between the first panel rail mount and the second panel rail mount, a second portion of the plurality of support members extending between the first panel rail mount and the base rail mount, and a third portion of the plurality of support members extending between the second panel rail mount and the base rail mount;a plurality of connectors coupled to the truss assembly adjacent the first and second panel rail mounts, the connectors for coupling one or more mountable devices to the truss assembly; anda base, the base comprising: a ballast comprising a first end and a second end, and a first side and a second side;a plurality of lateral channels coupled to the ballast extending from the first side to the second side of the ballast;a first rail extending in a direction from the first end to the second end of the ballast, the first rail slideably-coupled to the plurality of lateral channels, allowing lateral movement of the first rail along the lateral channels;a first base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at a first position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the first panel rail mount at a third position on the first panel rail mount;a second base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at the first position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the first panel rail mount at a fourth position on the first panel rail mount;a third base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at a second position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the first panel rail mount at the third position on the first panel rail mount;a fourth base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at the second position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the first panel rail mount at the fourth position on the first panel rail mount;a fifth base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at a third position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the base rail mount at a third position on the base rail mount; anda sixth base connection member comprising a first end and a second end, the first end slideably-coupled to the first rail at a fourth position on the first rail, the second end coupled to the base rail mount at the third position on the base rail mount,wherein the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth base connection members are slideably-coupled to the first rail to allow the base connection members to move along the first rail between a first end and a second end of the first rail. 2. The truss mounting system of claim 1, wherein the first ends of each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth base connection members comprise a locking element for releasably-engaging the first ends with the first rail, the locking elements having an open position allowing the first ends to slide along the first rail and a closed position preventing the first ends from sliding along the first rail. 3. The truss mounting system of claim 1, wherein the ballast is configured to rest on a surface, and wherein the ballast has a weight sufficient to provide stability to the truss mounting system, without requiring connection of the ballast to the surface.
