Solar Panel Flashing Membrane • MFM Building Products
Peel & Seal is a self-adhering flashing membrane composed of an aluminum top film laminated to two cross-laminated polyethylene films for outstanding durability. Designed to be left exposed indefinitely, Peel & Seal self-seals around fasteners that hold the solar panel mounting brackets to the roof surface to form a leak-proof barrier. Peel & Seal is available in four color options and seven width choices to match your project requirements. It is tested to ASTM D 1970, ICC-ES ESR 1654, Florida Building Code, Miami-Dade County, and FORTIFIED listed.

Solar Panel Flashing Membrane • ATAS International, Inc.
With the increasing installation of rooftop solar arrays, a “solar ready” metal roofing system is the ideal choice for photovoltaic solar systems because of its long service life. When installing a crystalline system (typically warranted for 25 years of power generation), a building owner benefits from a roofing substrate with a greater life expectancy than the solar panels. Standing seam metal panels provide a natural platform for attaching crystalline systems without roof penetrations with the use of special attachment clamps that grip the metal seams. Additionally, highly reflective roofs with cooler rooftop temperatures improve solar panel performance.

ENRGY Anchors • Johns Manville
The ENRGY Anchor is designed to work seamlessly with a range of photovoltaic rack-mounted solutions, accommodating various tilt angles and orientations. It provides a modern alternative to conventional roof-penetrating attachment methods and can be installed on most buildings, even in high-wind areas, without adding significant weight. This innovative solution removes the necessity for ballast or pavers, delivering low-distributed loads when used with racking systems and PV modules. Compatible with most seismic zones, it can be applied to different roofing systems using established techniques, creating a cohesive waterproof system through heat-welding or adhesion.

CraftGrade Independence Underlayment • Topshield
Topshield, a manufacturer of roofing and siding products, announced the launch of its CraftGrade Independence underlayment. The company said that it is designed to be “35 times stronger and eight times lighter than 30-pound felt.” CraftGrade, Topshield’s premium product line, added that the underlayment’s construction ensures durable weather and tear resistance, and an anti-slip coating with skid-resistant properties helps prevent slips and falls. The underlayment's lighter weight facilitates easy handling during installation, which is quick and efficient. It offers 17% more coverage per course than a standard 30-pound felt roll and is highly water-repellent, which reduces warping, wrinkling, and cracking in cold weather. The product is 100% inorganic and will not rot or mold, making it a “green” building product.
