You know i been on the fence on this "Drill less" vs. "drilling" mounts for solar panels for some time. Just when I decide on one ....someone changes my mind.

I guess I should look at it like this.....Do the drill less now.... and if I see any of them loosing up (over time) or tugging too much on the TPO roof (Stretching the liner - making wringles in the materal around the mounts) then I can always put one screw per a mounting locaton to stiffen it up... So its NOT like I have to re-do everything and be upset I picked the wrong mounting method for my RV.

Taylor Bob... Have you done any High Speed tests on the interstate yet? Can you hear anything moving around.... Is the TPO roof stretching at all?

Would putting Eternabond tape around the mounts reinforce the TPO? Maybe put the tape UNDER the mounts before they are glued down? What do you guys think?
