Uni-Solar laminates [RE-wrenches]

[John Blittersdorf, Cent. VT Solar & Wind]

Marco,
   We just finished applying 10 PVL 128's (our first laminate job) today 
initially under bright sun (warm roof) and had to install in place on the 
roof as the roofer wouldn't wait the 9 weeks it took to get the panels.  It 
actually went very well with no problems... just a single ladder in the next 
pan and one person at the top and one at the bottom of the laminate.  The 
backing material is great to work with... very thin and strong and we were 
able to tack down the top six inches or so and then, with the whole sheet 
flat on the metal and in place, pull the backing sheet out from under by 
pulling down and outward to one side and they all lined up perfectly.  I have 
to say, though, that we had 21" panels so we lots of leeway.  They all lined 
up perfectly to small sharpie marks we put on the pan for alignment.  Toward 
the end, the sun was behind some trees and it was getting cold.  The 
tackyness (sp?) definitely was reduced when they were cooler.  I was worrying 
so much about applying them in place on the roof that I was hesitant to start 
but fortunately, the fears were groundless.
