A solar panel mounting apparatus for use in securing a frame with a solar panel stored therein to a roof of a building includes a non-hollow member with a lower cross-sectional profile and enhanced strength. The apparatus includes a rail coupled to the frame and the roof, the rail having a cross-sectional profile comprising an upper cavity, a first side cavity, a second side cavity and a third side cavity, a first set of fasteners coupled to the frame and the upper cavity, and a second set of fasteners coupled to the roof and the first side cavity or the second side cavity. The upper cavity has a substantially pentagonal cross-sectional shape, the first side cavity has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape, the second side cavity has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape, and the third side cavity has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape.

1. A solar panel mounting apparatus for use in securing a frame with a solar panel stored therein to a roof of a building, the solar panel mounting apparatus comprising a non-hollow member with a lower cross-sectional profile and enhanced strength, the solar panel mounting apparatus comprising: a rail detachably coupled to the frame and the roof, the rail comprising a cross-sectional profile comprising an upper pentagonal shaped cavity, a first rectangular shaped side cavity, a second rectangular shaped side cavity and a third trapezoidal shaped side cavity, each cavity in the upper, first side, second side and third side cavities comprising a side wall in the cross-sectional profile with a cutout disposed thereto, the side wall comprising an inner wall and an outer wall;a first set of fasteners coupled to the frame and a portion of an inner wall of the upper cavity; anda second set of fasteners coupled to the roof and a portion of an inner wall of the first side cavity or a portion of the inner wall of the second side cavity. 2. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first pair of knobs disposed on the inner wall of the upper cavity and a second pair of knobs disposed on the inner wall of the first side cavity. 3. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a first lock brace disposed within the upper cavity and coupled to the first pair of knobs and a second lock brace disposed within the first side cavity and coupled to the second pair of knobs, wherein each lock brace comprises a threaded opening. 4. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 3, wherein the first set of fasteners comprises a Z-bracket coupled to the frame and comprising a lower portion with a threaded opening, a first star washer disposed on the lower portion of the Z-bracket proximate the threaded opening, and a first screw disposed through the Z-bracket threaded opening, the first star washer and the threaded opening of the first lock brace. 5. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 4, wherein the second set of fasteners comprises a L-bracket comprising an upper portion coupled to the rail and a lower portion coupled to the roof, the upper portion further comprising an elongated slot and the lower portion comprising an opening. 6. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second set of fasteners comprises a second washer, a third washer, a second screw and a third screw, wherein the second washer is disposed on the upper portion of the L-bracket proximate the elongated slot and the second screw is disposed through the second washer, the elongated slot of the L-bracket and the threaded opening of the second lock brace, wherein the third washer is disposed on the lower portion of the L-bracket proximate the opening and the third screw is disposed through the third washer, the opening of the L-bracket and the roof. 7. The solar panel mounting apparatus of claim 5, wherein the second set of fasteners comprises a second washer, a third washer, a nut, a second screw and a third screw, wherein the second washer is disposed on the upper portion of the L-bracket proximate the elongated slot, the nut is disposed on the second washer and the second screw is positioned within the second side cavity and disposed through the elongated slot of the L-bracket, the second washer and the nut, wherein the third washer is disposed on the lower portion of the L-bracket proximate the opening and the third screw is disposed through the third washer, the opening of the L-bracket and the roof.
