    One of our local jurisdictions, City of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
 w:st="on">Petaluma</st1:place></st1:City>, is beginning to require flashed
footings under all solar arrays.  I think that some flashed footings are
better than the Unirac L feet or <span class=SpellE>Prosolar's</span> <span
class=SpellE>TileTrac</span> 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.  <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>    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.  <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
