Solar is Done
Everything went as planned
No snags
1) I located the two spots on the roof where it was most level so that the drill-less mounts would remain flat & be out of the way & allow me space if I decide to add two more panels
2) with the mounts on the panels, I marked with a sharpie around the feet, then moved panels out of the way
3) I then lightly sanded the mounting locations on the roof for maximum Sikaflex adherence
4) I put down the Sikaflex adhesive in the marked locations & then placed the panels in their locations
5) After an hour or two, I removed the panels from the mounts & placed adhesive around the entire outside & inside of the mounts allowing adhesion under where the panels block access to the mounts
6) Finally, screwed the panels back on to the mounts, and connected all the wiring
These panels aren’t going anywhere.
I’ve got Solar, it works great!
I am glad I went with solid panels vs flexible
Long lasting, long warranty, best cooling properties
And actually, solid mono crystalline is less expensive than flex even with the mounts and adhesive
Solids take a little longer for install but will deliver higher output
BTW...I decided NOT to use the middle mounts
I don’t think that they are needed with these 20” x 40” panels
