NOVELTY - A mounting system (10) comprises cover assembly (26) which retains solar panel (12) over mounting surface (14) at inclined angle to mounting surface and has proximal end for positioning adjacent to mounting surface and distal end for coupling to solar panel, and 1st cover panel containing 1st sheet material which is positioned at proximal end and 1st aperture area which is located on portion of 1st cover panel and extends through thickness of 1st sheet material for communication of air between interior closed volume and ambient exterior of cover assembly.    USE - Mounting system for positioning solar panel on mounting surface.    ADVANTAGE - Water pooling, such as damage to roof membrane and leakage, is prevented.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A mounting system (10) comprises cover assembly (26) which retains solar panel (12) over mounting surface (14) at inclined angle to mounting surface and has proximal end for positioning adjacent to mounting surface and distal end for coupling to solar panel, 1st cover panel containing 1st sheet material which is positioned at proximal end and 1st aperture area which is located on portion of 1st cover panel and extends through thickness of 1st sheet material for communication of air between interior closed volume and ambient exterior of cover assembly, and 2nd cover panel containing 2nd sheet material which is positioned between proximal end and distal end and 2nd aperture area which is located on portion of 2nd cover panel and extends through thickness of 2nd sheet material providing for communication of air between interior closed volume and ambient exterior of cover assembly. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a footing for distributing loads over a mounting surface from ballasted mounting system supporting a solar panel.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a rear perspective view of the ballasted mounting system with solar panel.
