The VHB tape is a means to deliver a chemical glue to bond the materials together, it is different than just really sticky glue. I have not ever tried to remove VHB tape. I assume a heat gun will...

Probably not in reality. There will also be suction created by the panel helping it stick. Roof wind is turbulent so may not even be pushing at the leading edge of the panel, wee as it is. The panel...

You're welcome.

I recently saw someone use the dicor Lap sealant to hold down a flexible panel. He just ran a bead along the edge. I assume it held. The Lap sealant is easy to remove so would...

Hindsight: I think the long aluminum angle iron taped on front to back only with VHB and using self-tapping screws to hold the solar frames in is the best. It is not really necessary to have the...

haha. Coal plants are way more efficient at producing electricity than any generator. But your solar is free. A degree is no substitute for intelligence.

Thing called a "gland" will help get it through roof.
With just 200 watts I think fans for cooling way overkill. Just have some ventilation. I suggest 300 watts if you plan to ever use the...

Thanks. Sounds like they might be worth the extra $60 each. Certainly more aero than my framed ones.
Panels have a life span. When they are done, you just cut the tape off? Sounds like the tape...
