QBase low-slope mount (QuickMount)

It looks like a legitimate install using the wood. You might not have any issue with using treated wood for your solar panel array.

I know that in Florida wood is frowned upon because even treated it does not last long outside. Besides water destruction add, insects, wind, and in some cases having non fire proof material as a support structure can get you a non passing grade by the inspector.

The slope of the roof must not be very great since I see no signs of shimming to level the A/C unit. They tend to be sensitive to that.

They make a pretty strong case for the QuickMount system (obviously that is what they sell)"

I contend these guys are taking the solar industry down their yellow-brick-road.
In the webinar I've seen from them, they pull out nails from shingles in order to get their flashing way up under, then advise using a bit of sealer to seal the hole left by the nails! We're working on getting statements from some roofing manufacturers to refute these guys.

As long as no water pools around the wood footing it should last a while.

Moisture is incredibly destructive when it stays in contact with just about anything from metal (rust) to concrete (breakdown from acidity).

Stay high and dry and live long and prosper.

It is a low slope; The AC unit is straddling the peak. I put a level on it and they almost got it level. Maybe a 1/8" out on my 24" level.
Is that 5 mrad?

water doesn't last long around here including wood moisture; it need to be pressure treated.
