I bought the 100 watt panel kit with self-adhesive rocker feet so I would not need to put screws into the roof. The claim the VHB tape makes a very strong connection.
One concern I have is the painted aluminum roof. AM Solar has a video demonstrating the installation and the narrator states that if the roof is painted aluminum that you better know the paint is very well adhered to the aluminum.
So if anyone has used this installation and put a bunch of miles on it, that would be comforting to know. And which sealant was used.
AM Solar told me that for an aluminum roof use the Sikaflex 221 sealant to cover the feet because it contains an adhesive unlike others such as Dicor.
