Abstract

A roof mount system and related method for installing solar panel racking components on a roof structure at the time of roof installation during building construction or roof replacement. The roof mount apparatus includes at least one flashing, at least one flashing projection, at least one fastener, a block member, a seal member and a cap member. The at least one fastener connects the at least one flashing member to the roof structure to secure the block member and the seal member. The seal member provides a water-tight securement and reduces wear and tear of the roof structure. The cap, fastener, and block are removable, and once removed, additional solar racking components are installed. This embodiment reduces the up-front cost of the solar components, and provides aesthetically pleasing low-profile temporary mounts to the roof surface.
