Re: [RE-wrenches] Soladeck Alternatives

I believe that Zilla and Quick Mount makes flashed options for conduit entry 
through the roof. You will still have to use a SLB but they are much lower 
profile than the Oaty flashings used in the past and should fit under thin 
framed modules.

 However, in recent times the panel frames have been leaning towards thinner 
 frames. The result is that the plumbing flashing is being turned inside out 
 because it has less room, so we have been potting it with sealant - which is 
 not ideal. I've been looking at the soladeck, but they are too large and 
 expensive for a junction box (not combiner) use. Any other smaller, less 
 expensive alternatives others have come across?
