• Shingle roofs are reliable and a roofing classic, but that doesn’t mean they are a flawless solution. Their installation allows for and often requires more roof penetrations compared to other roofing materials like tile or metal roofing. Despite all those nails and staples in the mix, shingles do their part in keeping the surfaces underneath them dry.

    Solar mounting manufacturers often hear the question, “What about the roof warranty?” Most installers are just covering their bases, seeing what assurances they can get beyond their own quality of labor. What seems to trip everyone up is that most roof warranties are only assurance for the quality of manufacturing; assurance that the product was manufactured to the standard the manufacturer intended. So where do the lines get blurred?

    To provide insight into the issue, we gathered warranty documentation from the nation’s most popular shingle manufacturers. First we will dive into common types of warranties.

  • Sometimes less is more and small footprint mounting solutions for solar installers means that they can focus on the complicated things in their day-to-day. Mounting solar shouldn't be complicated, and it shouldn't be complicated to get either. That's why we designed the small packaging for our QB2 + Microflashing® kits the way we did, to make solar mounting easier for everyone involved in the process from factory to installation site.

    The term “compression” has been thrown around a lot lately in the solar mounting world. It’s a term we’ve been using for a while to describe how our Microflashing® works in tandem with our bolts to seal penetrations and protect from water. There’s a significant difference with QuickBOLT compression which you can’t find with any other mounting systems.
