Why Respect The Roof?

“…80% of all construction related litigation stems from water intrusion.”

  • Rob Hernandez

Pitched Roof Racking SolarPro November 2008

10/13/11 5

www.quickmountpv.com It only takes a single leak to cause callbacks, roof damage, bad reputation, or even a lawsuit.

SLIDE 6

Think Like A Roofer

  • Solar installers must think and act like roofers when

stepping onto a roof to make penetrations.

  • Who would install a skylight or vent jack without complete

waterproof flashing?

  • How would a roofer approach mounting PV or solar

thermal panels to a customer’s roof?

  • How do we maintain roof warranties?
  • What is “code” for solar mounting systems?

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

slide-8
SLIDE 8

Past Methods

It might look okay at first…

Unflashed mounts were typical in the early days of solar and may have even passed inspection.

10/13/11 8

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Past Methods

... but over time leaks and corrosion are inevitable.

Attaching brackets or L feet directly to a composition roof… …with sealant but no flashing… …leads to corrosion and leakage at the penetration.

Improvements along the way…

Not all flashed mounts are equally effective.

Many Roofing Codes Come Into Play

  • IBC/IRC/SBC: Flashing

required at all roof penetrations

  • NRCA Best Practices:

No exposed fasteners

  • n shingle roofs
  • SMACNA:

No galvanized on roofs exceeding 15-year lifespan A Few Key Points:

Why Double Flashing?

10/13/11 40

www.quickmountpv.com

Tile Roofing Institute (TRI) requires flashing at underlayment level AND top tile level.

slide-41
SLIDE 41

Things To Consider Before Installing On A Tile Roof

  • Select the best attachment method
  • Rafters, plywood, blocks between rafters
  • Inspect the sub-roof
  • Identify the material: plywood, OSB, skip sheeting, felt

paper, butyl

  • Check its condition
  • Complete wind calculations and consult local (AHJ)

regulations

  • Take your time. Mounting and waterproofing on tile

takes longer than comp roofs.

Installers: Do your RESEARCH!

If you’re bolting to the deck, it must be plywood, half-inch or thicker.

The Best Insurance

  • The vital importance of the solar rooftop mounting

system is often overlooked and undervalued.

  • Proper code compliance protects roof warranties

and the installer’s liability.

  • Do it right the first time so you don’t have to come

back to fix a roof leak.

  • Flashing is cheap insurance!!!

“When I’m punching dozens of holes to mount a solar array, I need to be certain there are no points of failure. Only Quick Mount PV gives me that assurance.”
