oops....we usually only flash non metal roofs...metal roofs we have been lucky to mostly do standing seam roofs which do not have penetrations for the attachments, we use the S5 clamps..... I just got an email from Unirac, I guess they have a a different standing seam metal clalmp than the S5, It is called Ace Clamp Jr., any one used those? I haven't seen the pricing yet on those, would be nice if they were less expensive than the S5's....They also looked easier to install...<br>
metal roof flashings--I have used the flashings with the butyl edges and caulking that are designed to be screwed thru around the perimeter. Not a glamorous flashing but has worked and is what I see used in other trades.<br>

</dd><dd><div><div></div><div class="h5"> One of our local jurisdictions, City of Petaluma,
is beginning to require flashed footings under all solar arrays. I
think that some flashed footings are better than the Unirac L feet or
Prosolar's TileTrac foot, but the flashed footings cost a lot more $, and
some flashed footing products seem flawed (less watertight) They
are asking me to uninstall two commissioned systems from last week, and
replace the footings with flashed Fast Jacks, even though the documents
detailed the penetration method. <br><br>
</div></div></dd><dd><div><div></div><div class="h5"> I am looking for some good info that supports
flexible installation methods, including caulked footings. Our
industry has come a long way from the early days of racking on slotted
angle iron with steel L-brackets for feet, but those experiences tend to
give me confidence in continuing to use caulked footings. <br><br>
