Hi Jay,
There is no room for flashings. The L feet will go very close to the
skylights and the flashing would hit the edge of them. Plus there
is an existing array that was done by another installer that is done
with L feet only. The new array would be higher.
And given that we have really good off the shelf approved flashed
feet, why would you use anything else?
My 2 cents,
Jay

We also used to bend our own L-foot flashing, which we cut from
standard Al coil stock (before all the manufactured options were
available). This might be a good option for you in this case.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] L feet no flashing in shingle roof
I'm quoting a job that has an existing array with L feet bolted
down to a shingle roof with no flashings. I want to match the
height of the existing array. Also some modules are being worked
in around skylights where it is unlikely that room would be
available for flashings to center over rafters.
I've always used flashings. Would it be completely crazy to follow
suit of the existing array and bolt L feet straight to the shingle
roof with good roof sealant? If so, how would you seal it?
