ONTILITY and Quick Mount PV
Founded in 2006 by Stuart and Claudia Wentworth, Quick Mount PV is the natural outgrowth of the founders' 20 years in the metal fabrication, green building and construction trades. As solar PV installers for seven years before launching the company, the Wentworths saw far too many mounting methods in use that were doomed to failure, posing a threat to the burgeoning solar PV industry's reputation. So, with a passion for solar energy and a deep commitment to doing solar right, the Wentworths founded Quick Mount PV to bring a quick, cost-effective, completely code-compliant waterproof mounting system to the industry. Quick Mount PV products were an instant hit in a market hungry for quality mounting solutions, and the company has grown at 70%+ per year to meet the rising demand. Quick Mount PV currently employs 46 people in its fabrication and warehouse facility in northern California. The company provides ongoing training opportunities and personalized assistance to installers and distributors using and selling Quick Mount PV products.

Classic Composition Mount
Quick Mount PV's best selling product, the Classic Composition Mount is the easiest, fastest, most universally code-compliant watertight mount available for composition roofs. The Classic Composition Mount is backed by solid engineering and is certified by the ICC-ES (ICC-ESR-2835). The patented QBlock elevated seal raises the waterproofing point 0.75 inches/1.9 cm off the roof surface, providing unsurpassed protection against leaks.
There's no need for trimming shingles to force a fit. Drill one pilot hole into the rafter, backfill it with appropriate sealant, slide the Quick Mount flashing beneath the shingle in the course above, drive the bolt home, and it's done.
The 12" x 12" Classic Composition Mount flashing is designed to fit within a standard 5 to 5.5-inch course and the exposed course should be no greater than 5.75 inches. If the exposure is greater than this, use the Shake Mount as an alternative. There's no shingle cutting and no shingle distortion caused by trying to force a fit – just a permanent, watertight mount every time.

Classic Shake Mount
The Classic Shake Mount uses Quick Mount PV's patented QBlock technology to provide the easiest, fastest, most universally code-compliant watertight mount available for wood shake roof installations. A single pilot hole is all it takes – just drill it, drive it, and you're done.
Designed to be adaptable, Quick Mount PV's 18" x 18" flashing installs on East Coast style shake roofs (7.5-inch exposure over skip sheeting) and West Coast (10-inch exposure over solid sheeting) alike. The flashing slides quickly into place with no need to modify the shake to force a fit. Just a simple, watertight seal every time.
Quick Mount PV's Classic Shake Mount is constructed of corrosion resistant material, including .050 aluminum flashing and stainless steel hardware, which last at least three times longer than galvanized parts. The Classic Shake Mounts bolt to any racking system with an L-foot interface, and integrate directly with Prosolar and Unistrut systems, as well.

New Roof Composition Mount
Quick Mount's New Roof Composition Mount is designed to smoothly fit into the workflow between the trades who work together to install a PV system on a new roof, whether for new construction or roof replacement. First, the ultra-strong QBase and post are mounted to the substrate after the sheeting is nailed down. The flashing is left for the roofer to weave into the shingles in the standard method. When the roof is completed, the racks and PV array are installed. This three-step process makes the installation efficient and cost effective. And the QBase makes these off-the-shelf mounts the strongest attachment on the market.

Low Slope Mount
Quick Mount's Low Slope Mount takes the traditional base-and-post PV mount to its ultimate level. The cast-aluminum QBase reinforced foundation is the strongest you can buy for mechanically attaching commercial PV systems to TPO, PVC, EPDM, built-up asphalt, and virtually all other non-metal low slope roofs.
Properly flashing penetrations in PVC, TPO and other membrane-type roofing requires the use of manufacturer-specific materials to ensure the flashing bonds chemically with the field membrane (ask the roofer of record or your roofing supplier). For built up asphalt roofs, aluminum flashings are available from Quick Mount PV in 4" and 8" tall cones (sold separately).

Universal Tile Mount
The double-flashed Universal Tile Mount uses the QBase foundation to make an exceptionally strong mount. The primary flashing at the roof deck forms a waterproof shield isolating all penetrating fasteners from corrosive water intrusion. The top flashing is malleable, so it works equally well for curved and flat tile roofs. Both flashings feature a spun aluminum cone, with no seams to fail in extreme climates. Ideal for both retrofit and new roof installations.

Specialty Flat Tile Mount
The double-flashed Specialty Flat Tile Mount reduces the time and effort needed to double flash flat tile roof penetrations. For flashing at the tile level, a pre-fabricated an aluminum "tile" drops directly into a standard 12" x 17" flat tile roof. Just replace the tile; there's no tile drilling or cutting.
The aluminum sub-flashing is sized for easy code compliance, and molded to fit snugly over the mounting plate and removable standoff. Use standard roofing methods at the deck – bibbing or 3-coursing, for instance – to seal off rain from the penetrations and fasteners. All exposed components are aluminum, stainless steel or EPDM rubber to help keep penetrations watertight for the life of the PV system and most roofs.

Conduit Mounts
Quick Mount PV designed these mounts to lift conduit off the roof to protect wiring from overheating. These mounts use Quick Mount PV's patented QBlock waterproofing technology to seal the roof penetrations, and aluminum and stainless steel parts to secure the conduit for the life of the system. Available for composition and wood shake roofs. The Conduit Mount flashing for composition roofs measures 9" x 12"; for shake roofs, 12" x 18". Use a standard single-hole conduit clamp for ½" through 1-1/2" conduits. Conduit clamp not included.
