And I really don’t want to drill more holes in my roof. How long have you had this setup? Any regrets about using the tape?
They’ve only been up there since spring, but so far things have been fine. I knew I might be giving up some efficiency due to heating, but circulation is not required. I’ll inspect things this spring.

There are a series of videos on flexible solar panels put out by RV with Tito. His experience has been good, with just some minor issues with water intrusion which were easily fixed. His oldest panels have been installed for 6 years
