When considering solar panel mounting solutions, including both ground and roof mounted systems, there are a variety of rail and mount systems available. For example, there are solar panel mounting kits for roof categorized into railed and railless. In a rail-mounted system, a rail will be attached to an L-foot, which is then mounted on top of a segment of metal flashing. Then, the flashing is affixed to the roof with a lag screw that is driven into the rafter of the roof. Solar panel mounting kits for railless solar mounts, as the name indicates, do not use rails to affix the solar panels to the roof. Instead, the frame of the unit is secured directly to hardware that is attached to the roof.

As for mount systems options for ground mounted solar panels, there are typically two options: fixed ground mounts and solar trackers. While fixed ground mounts are stationary in a single location, solar trackers allow for movement so that the solar modules can orient in the direction of the sun as it changes positions.
