A solar panel bottom clamp assembly that secures the underside of a solar panel frame (i.e. the return flange of the solar panel) to a solar panel mounting device that is securable to a roof. The solar panel bottom clamp is adjustable, allowing the solar panel to be positioned and then secured to the solar panel bottom clamp. The solar panel bottom clamp assembly includes a base, a clamping member, a threaded fastener, and optionally, a spring. The base includes a platform for seating the solar panel. The clamping member includes a clamping member body and a hooked portion positioned above the clamping member body with an indentation for engaging the return flange. The threaded fastener non-threadably engages opposing sides of the base and threadably engages the clamping member causing the clamping member to move between the opposing sides below the platform.

1. A device for mounting a solar panel to a roof, the solar panel including a return flange, comprising: a solar panel bottom clamp assembly including a base, a clamping member, a threaded fastener;the base includes a platform for seating the solar panel;the clamping member includes a clamping member body and a mounting clip;the mounting clip includes a hooked portion positioned above the clamping member body with an indentation sized and positioned to engage the return flange of the solar panel; andthe threaded fastener non-threadably engages opposing sides of the base and threadably engages the clamping member causing the clamping member to move between the opposing sides of the base below the platform. 2. The device of claim 1, further including: a panel rest projecting upward from the platform and disposed to engage the solar panel. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein: the platform includes a top surface; andthe indentation and the top surface are co-planar. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein: a first side of the opposing sides;the clamping member further includes a first projected portion and a second projected portion each projecting from the clamping member body toward the first side; andthe threaded fastener threadably engages the clamping member body between the first projected portion and the second projected portion. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein: the platform includes an inside surface; andthe second projected portion is movable against the inside surface. 6. The device of claim 5, further including: a spring surrounding the threaded fastener and positioned between the first side and the clamping member body between the first projected portion and the second projected portion. 7. The device of claim 1, further including: a first side of the opposing sides;a spring surrounding the threaded fastener and positioned between the first side and the clamping member body. 8. A device for mounting a solar panel to a roof, the solar panel including a return flange, comprising: a solar panel bottom clamp assembly including, a base, a clamping member, and a threaded fastener;the clamping member includes a clamping member body and a mounting clip, the mounting clip includes a hooked portion and an indentation formed between the hooked portion and the clamping member body, the indentation positioned to engage the return flange;the base includes a first platform, a second platform, a first side, and a second side, the first platform seats the clamping member body between the first side and the second side, and the second platform disposed to seat the solar panel;the first side and the second side project upward from opposing ends the first platform, the second platform projects away from the first side toward the second side; andthe threaded fastener non-threadably engages the first side and the second side and threadably engaging the clamping member body making the clamping member body threadably movable between the first side and the second side. 9. The device of claim 8, further including a panel rest projecting upward from the second platform and disposed to engage the solar panel. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein: the second platform includes a top surface; andthe indentation and the top surface are co-planar. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the second platform is parallel to the first platform. 12. The device of claim 8, wherein: the clamping member further includes a first projected portion and a second projected portion each projecting from the clamping member body toward the first side; andthe threaded fastener threadably engages the clamping member body between the first projected portion and the second projected portion. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein: the first projected portion seats against the first platform;the second platform includes an inside surface facing the first platform; andthe second projected portion is movable against the inside surface of the second platform. 14. The device of claim 13, further including: a spring surrounding the threaded fastener and positioned between the first side and the clamping member body between the first projected portion and the second projected portion. 15. The device of claim 8, further including a spring surrounding the threaded fastener and positioned between the first side and the clamping member body.
