Homeowner with elastomeric flat roof needs a leak-proof, non-penetrating solar panel mounting solution that won't damage the roof membrane or insulation.

Ballasted solar mounting systems are designed for commercial roofs with robust structure; they risk compressing foam insulation and puncturing elastomeric membranes, causing leaks on residential flat roofs.
