I like the idea of it. Much easier and less chance of leaks. Can you add Eternabond tape to streathen it? Or for a backup in case something lets go?

You can always add like two screws (opposite corners) if you decide you dont like the glue down method or want a backup plan - just in case. Two holes are better that 4 (well 8 = 2 per a mount tab).

Let us know your final thoughts (after the panels are mounted) on the glue down method.
It's been well over 36hrs
The adhesive has cured
All I can say is WOW!

Those panels are not going anywhere
I can shake the rig by using the mounts as a grab-bar

IMHO...No need for additional screws or Eternabond tape

Again, I'm so glad I researched this alot before I made the final decision
This method IS the way to go...solid panels and drill-less mounts

I'm already craving two more panels and an upgraded 40amp MPPT controller
