Attachment hardware by roof type
Composition shingle, tile and standing-seam metal roofs each need a different flashing and attachment approach, sourced here by roof type rather than a universal mounting foot.

Rooftop Systems
Roof-type-specific attachment hardware for residential rooftop installs, sourced with the flashing and wire management a crew needs on site.

Rooftop Systems
Source roof-type-specific attachment hardware for shingle, tile and metal roofs. Wholesale rooftop racking sourcing built for installer crews on Sunhub.
Attachment hardware sourced by roof type
Flashing included, not sourced separately
Flashing kits ship matched to the attachment hardware, which is what keeps a warranty claim from tracing back to a mismatched flashing product a crew improvised on site.
Wire management and rapid-shutdown wiring on the same list
Conduit, wire clips and the rapid-shutdown wiring NEC 690.12 requires on buildings are sourced as part of the same rooftop kit, not a separate BOS trip.
Right hardware, intact roof warranty
Match hardware to the roof the first time
Attachment type gets specified by roof material before installation, not discovered as a warranty issue later.
Keep the flashing warranty intact
Matched flashing and attachment hardware protect the roofing manufacturer's warranty instead of voiding it.
FAQs
Does attachment hardware differ between shingle, tile and metal roofs?
Yes, each roof type uses distinct attachment hardware: shingle roofs typically use flashed lag-bolt mounts or flashed feet, tile roofs use tile hooks or replacement-tile mounts, and metal roofs use standing-seam clamps or through-fastened brackets with sealant. Matching the hardware to the exact roof avoids leaks and failed inspections. Sourcing the hardware by roof type up front means the crew gets the right mounts the first time.
What NEC requirements apply to rooftop attachment wiring?
Rooftop wiring on residential systems generally must meet NEC Article 690 for PV systems, including rapid shutdown under 690.12, along with grounding, conductor protection, and secure wire management. The specifics depend on your edition of the NEC and the local AHJ, so confirm the adopted code cycle before final layout. Keeping the rapid-shutdown wiring and wire management on the same parts list keeps the install code-ready.
Does flashing need to be sourced separately from the mounting hardware?
It should not have to be. On Sunhub, flashing is included with the attachment hardware rather than sourced as a separate line, so the crew is not improvising seals on site. Using the manufacturer's matched flashing with its mount is also what keeps the flashing and roof warranties intact.
