I then decided if I ever want to remove or replace them, it would be a pain removing the Eternabond tape. I went to Home Depot and bought some corregated plastic panels and cut them to about the size of the solar panels.

I then drilled holes in the plastic and installed a thread lug so I could screw the solar panels onto the plastic panels. I then used two sided Eternabond tape to attach the plastic panels to the roof.

If I need to remove the solar panel, I only have to remove 6 screws and unplug them.

This is about as cool and simple as a Popsicle!! Will PM you for the details. It just made it to the top of my project list....which is a very short list. Did you change the two 6V batteries or leave them as-is?
