It is a 1" square bar from OSH. HD, Lowes, Ace has it too. Comes in 8' length. I used two bars to mount the pair and cut a bar in half for the single panel.
The single I assembled on the ground and slid up as a unit. Too heavy for the pair so it was drilled and assembled on the roof.
Stainless bolt through to the panel. 1/4 x 1.5" IIRC. SS washer and nyloc nut.
The foot is made with more aluminum stock. The larger C-channel is a bit harder to find. I bought a 2' section at OSH and cut to size.
Between the deck and foot is a neoprene fender washer available at ACE. 2" or 2.5" diameter. Deck screw is stainless #10 x 2.5", the plastic insert for the end is also from ACE hardware. End cap is very important to keep the sharp edges of the aluminum bar off the membrane when tipping over or moving around. Looks nice too.
And of course a big generous dab of Dicor right before pushing the deck screw in.
Couple more pics might give more perspective.
