Roof Tech Among First U.S. Companies to Pass ASTM 2140 Test for Mounting Systems
Roof Tech utilizes a unique flashing method that adheres PV module brackets to roofing using butyl rubber tape. In June 2013, Roof Tech became one of the first and only companies in the U.S. to pass the rigorous ASTM 2140 test of its flashing method. The ASTM 2140 test measures water penetration through solar PV panels installed on metal and composition shingle roofing. All three of Roof Tech's products – Roof Tech [E] Mount®, Roof Tech [E] Rail®, and Roof Tech U set Solar® – were subjected to six hours of continuous static water pressure and passed the test with zero water leakage.
