Hey Carl,

Oh right, the peel 'n stick laminates pre-stuck. We had to give that up in
the States. Not only was it dumb shipping roofing pans to Mexico and back,
but it just gave the truckers more opportunities to mash stuff up (which
they're *really* good at).

It's standard roofing standing seam pans. Talk to your friendly local
roofers. They'll know, although 'open frames' sounds like they'll be subject
to a lot more uplift than on a conventional roof. 
Cheers,
Doug

Gidday Doug,

Yes - these panels were part of the Unisolar structural metal roofing range
and were common in the US about 5 years ago. The SSR is a Structural
Standing Seam panel. They were used for example on the 4.2 kW covered
parking system at SWEPCO, Longview Texas. They can have the junction box on
the top or bottom side. Now days Unisolar market the stick-on product and no
longer do pre-fabricated metal roofing panels like these.
Usually they are roof mounted but I want to use them on open frames.
The question is will the clips supplied be strong enough to hold the panels
in strong winds. Otherwise I will need to use additional means of fastening.
Anyone tried this ???

Thanks 

=============================
SSR? That isn't a Uni-Solar configuration we know here in the States Carl.
The search function on the Uni-Solar web site struck out on SSR, SSR64,
SSR-64, SR, etc. What is it?

Cheers,
Doug Pratt

Hi Gang,

I am mounting 24 Unisolar ssr64's on open frames that will be subject to
some high winds.

Will the panels be firmly enough anchored with the standard clips or will I
need to add additional fixing ??

Anyone had experience with this issue ??

Many thanks,
