Oregon rebate programs (where we are based) are requiring all roof
penetrations/attachments to be flashed.
What do you use to flash metal roofs?

IMHO the TileTrack system for flat concrete tile or S-tile is the
best approach there is. The 3/8" SS all thread can be accommodated
by a ~3/8" hole in the tile, leaving an exceedingly narrow gap
around the all-thread to caulk.
By way of distinction, I never use tile track on comp-shingle or
torchdown roofs, using instead Fast-Jacks and Oatey elastomeric flashing.

Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Flashed Footing Requirements
Who can help:
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.
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.
