The RBI Solar RS-VS mounting system can be mounted to any roof type with the proper flashing method. Most code
compliant flashing methods are compatible with the RBI Solar RS-VS system's L-foot. The roof covering will dictate the
proper flashing method. Common roofing types are:
Asphalt Shingle
The RBI Solar RS-VS mounting system carries a Class A Fire Rating under UL 1703 on steep-sloped roofs when used with
all Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 modules per testing performed by Intertek. It is important to check the following items
prior to installation on the roof:
• Verify roof rafter size, material, and span to ensure that the roof structure is sound and capable of supporting
the additional load of the PV array within local climatic conditions (wind/snow loads).
• Measure roof surfaces and account for any obstacles such as chimneys, parapets, skylights, or roof vents.
• Confirm roof construction, type, and condition is suitable to last the life of the product.
• Confirm that the roof is fire resistant and rated for the application.
• Account for any roof access areas and required municipal set-back distances following the local jurisdiction.
