Penetration free standing seam clamps [RE-wrenches]

[matthew tritt]

Nick,

Have you considered Unisolar PVL? No clamps, no penetrations, no slipping
and sliding around on the roof, no additional wind loading, better
performance per installed Watt in high temp. (like on a roof) and lower
labor costs.
