Solar Flashing Introduction

Solar flashing is a must have in any solar panel installation, it’s a barrier that protects your roof from water intrusion and damage. By having a watertight seal around roof penetrations such as mounting posts and pipes, flashing prevents leaks and safeguards the underlying structure. This extends the life of your solar system and keeps your roof in top shape for years to come.

Designed to withstand harsh weather and environmental stress, solar flashings—especially aluminum—offer reliable, maintenance free protection. The self-sealing collar on many modern flashings eliminates the need for caulking, making installation simpler and reducing future maintenance issues. Available in various materials and forms, copper, stainless steel, these components are tailored to different roof types and installation requirements. Choosing the right flashing is key to protecting your investment and your solar panel system.
