Flashing

Flashing is a crucial component in the installation of solar panels, serving as a waterproof barrier and protector against leaks. Typically made from durable materials like aluminum or galvanized steel, flashing is installed around the base of the solar panels to seal any gaps and prevent moisture from seeping into the roof. Properly installed flashing ensures the longevity and efficiency of the solar panel system by safeguarding it against environmental elements. In addition to solar panel flashing, this term can also refer to the process of rapidly turning a light on and off, often used for signaling purposes in emergency situations or as a warning signal.
