Since the advent of rooftop solar water heating systems in the 1970s, faulty rooftop solar mounting practices have resulted in lawsuits and damaged installer reputations — all stemming from preventable water damage to the roofs of homes and businesses.
As PV installers and general contractors, Quick Mount PV founders Stuart Wentworth and Claudia Wentworth saw too many rooftop mounts that were doomed to failure, posing a threat not only to any given roof and building, but to the burgeoning solar PV industry itself. In 2006, they founded Quick Mount PV to bring cost-effective, code-compliant, waterproof rooftop mounting systems to the solar industry.
