<dd>Who can help:<br>
<dd> 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>
<dd> 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>
