I live and work where design wind speeds can be up to 172 mph. This method would not be accepted by any jurisdiction in Southwest Florida. There are multiple problems:
- No flashings
- Grounding/Bonding
- Heat - too close to roof
- Cannot service without removing lag screws
I could go on an on. This is a prime example why you should hire a professional - a licensed and insured solar contractor.
