Mount Flashing is Key to Protecting Your Home
We Trust Santa Rosa Lead Solar Mount Flashings
Another essential component of a PV system is solar flashings. Solar flashings, or mount flashings, are the components of the system that keeps water from getting into your home. When our techs install solar panels on your roof, they have to drill small holes in your roof to mount them. In order to make sure those openings stay secure, Family First Solar trusts Santa Rosa Lead Products and their SF Series solar flashings.
Santa Rosa Lead Products specializes in custom flashings and lead products made from pure lead. We love working with this U.S.-based company because they can accommodate specific base and riser heights if your solar system needs more customization than their standard products.
And their mount flashings are sure to keep water out of your home, which is an essential feature in a state that gets as much rain as we do! Proper flashings prevent structural damage and leaks in your home or business.
