1. A photovoltaic module mounting system, comprising: a rail, wherein the rail includes an elongated body with opposing shoulders and opposing sides, wherein a first track is defined by a one of the opposing shoulders, and wherein a second track is defined by a one of the opposing sides;a clamp, wherein, in an operative configuration, the clamp is engaged with the first track and a photovoltaic module is mountable on the rail by the clamp;a threaded fastener, wherein in an operative configuration, the threaded fastener is disposed through a hole defined by a base of the clamp and is disposed in the first track;a keeper, wherein, in an operative configuration, the keeper is engaged with the second track;wherein in the operative configuration, a bottom-most portion of the clamp is positioned in contact with a top surface of the rail and an entirety of a remaining portion of the clamp extends above the top surface of the rail. 2. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein in the operative configuration, a longitudinal axis of the clamp is disposed perpendicular to a length of the rail. 3. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein in the operative configuration, a plurality of discrete clamps are positioned along a length of the rail. 4. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein a vertical plane along a length of the rail extends through the first track and the second track. 5. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein the keeper is L-shaped. 6. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein a height of the elongated body is substantially greater than a width of the elongated body. 7. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein the elongated body of the rail has a proximal end, a distal end, and a hollow chamber therebetween. 8. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein a hollow space is disposed between the first track and the second track. 9. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 8, wherein the hollow space is a hollow chamber. 10. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 1, wherein the clamp includes a descending member extending from the base and an ascending member extending from the base in a direction substantially opposite a direction of the descending member. 11. The photovoltaic module mounting system according to claim 10, wherein the ascending member further includes a fin.
