[RE-wrenches] Soladeck Alternatives

[Aaron Mandelkorn]

I believe that Zilla and Quick Mount makes flashed options for conduit entry through the roof. You will still have to use a SLB but they are much lower profile than the Oaty flashings used in the past and should fit under thin framed modules.

The result is that the plumbing flashing is being turned inside out because it has less room, so we have been potting it with sealant - which is not ideal. I've been looking at the soladeck, but they are too large and expensive for a junction box (not combiner) use. Any other smaller, less expensive alternatives others have come across?
