A mounting device including a base having an open bottom, a longitudinal axis, and a linear guide on the base. The linear guide guides support hardware in linear movement along the longitudinal axis. An internal cavity is under the base for containing a sealant against and in cooperation with a roof when the mounting device is secured to the roof. An opening is though the base is for receiving a fastener when the mounting device is secured to the roof. The opening is in communication with the internal cavity. The linear guide extends beyond the internal cavity.

A mounting device includes a base that is rectangularly elongated. The base includes an open bottom that extends lengthwise along a direction of elongation of the base. A pair of guides is disposed on opposite sides of the base, extending lengthwise along the direction of the elongation of the base. The pair of guides are for guiding support hardware in linear movement along the direction of the elongation of the base. An internal cavity is within the base for containing a sealant against a roof when the mounting device is secured to the roof. An opening extends through the base for receiving a fastener to secure the mounting device to the roof. The opening is in communication with the internal cavity.

A building includes a hipped roof, an erected part, and a water guide body. The hipped roof includes a first roof part, a second roof part, and a hip that is provided at a boundary part between the first roof part and the second roof part, and that protrudes upward from a roof upper surface of the first roof part. The erected part is erected on the first roof part while extending from a part of the hip, the part being below a ridge beam, toward a side opposite to the second roof part, and includes a side surface facing the ridge beam. The water guide body is provided over the first roof part and the side surface of the erected part to guide water flowing along the first roof part to a lateral side of the erected part. Then, the water guide body is connected to the hip, and has a shape for restricting accumulation of water in a region between the hip, the first roof part, and the erected part.

A mounting device includes a base including an open bottom. An internal cavity is under the base for containing a sealant against with a roof when the mounting device is secured to the roof. An attachment member extends from the base. The attachment member has a first face and a second face opposite the first face. A plurality of openings are through the base for receiving a plurality of fasteners, respectively, when the mounting device is secured to the roof. The plurality of openings are in communication with the internal cavity. A sidewall of the base extends outward such that the base and the internal cavity extend beyond each of the first face and the second face.

In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to a system and apparatuses for sealing a structural attachment to a flat or shingle roof. More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides. The invention utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.
