[RE-wrenches] The perfect solar ready roof

[Chad Waits]

How about adding blocking between the TJI's and lagging to that? That has
worked for us in the past. 

 

But I think that might be a mute point if you are adding a metal roof.
Suggest a standing seam roof and attach with S5! clips. That would be the
cleanest and no penetrations!

Dear Wrenches:

 

I have a composite (shingle) roof at hand, and the owner wants to upgrade it
to a metal roof and install a 5kw+ array on it.  The rafters are those (sort
of) particle board I-beams covered with 1/2" plywood (and shingles).  What's
the best metal roofing you could suggest--and would you beef up the wood to
lag into?

 

Thanks for all your input.
