Abstract
A system for flashing a mount of a photovoltaic assembly on a surface includes a flashing including a lower surface and an upper surface. The flashing defines an opening to receive a fastener for securing the mount to the surface. The system also includes a first pad positioned along and attached to the lower surface and a second pad positioned along and attached to the upper surface. The first pad and the second pad extend across the opening. The first pad and the second pad include an adhesive and form a water resistant seal for the opening.
