Rack ready roof mounts

A method for configuring a solar-rack ready roof mount system, the method comprising:

• providing a roof structure;
• installing on the roof structure at least one roof mount apparatus comprising:
• at least one flashing including a flashing top surface and a flashing bottom surface;
• at least one flashing projection positioned at the at least one flashing, the at least one flashing projection including a projection aperture;
• at least one fastener connecting the at least one flashing with the roof structure, and wherein the at least one fastener includes a threaded portion of a first diameter and a non-threaded portion of a second diameter, and said first diameter is sized appropriately to allow it to create a pilot hole for the non-threaded portion second diameter, the fastener penetrating the projection, the flashing, and the roof structure;
• a block member coupled to the at least one flashing projection including a block member aperture configured to surround the flashing projection;
• a seal member receiving the at least one fastener therethrough, the seal member including a first portion and a second portion, and providing a water-tight securement;
• and
• a cap member detachably installed over the at least one fastener and the block member, the cap member including a locking mechanism adaptable to removably couple the cap member to the block member, and the cap member obstructs the installation of additional solar racking materials;
• detaching the block, fastener, and cap;
• replacing the block member, at least one fastener, and cap member with solar racking and solar panels installed on the roof mount apparatus, thereby-providing a water-tight securement and reduction of wear and tear on a roofing structure and shingle;
• whereby the removal of the cap removes the obstruction of installation of additional solar racking materials.
