[RE-wrenches] Roofers installing solar = creative, new installation methods

[Nick Soleil]

Hi wrenches:
   Have you noticed that roofing companies have recently been trying to sell 
solar?  One company thought of something that I had never considered.  Listen to 
this neat story.
   I was servicing a job today, where a roofing company recently removed and 
re-installed a PV array on a 12 degree sloped roof.  The funny thing is that the 
roofer didn't want to penetrate his new roof, so he and the customer decided to 
leave the panels sitting on the composition roof without any attachments to the 
structure.  They didn't think it was necessary!  

    Shortly afterward, the array slid down the roof, and a MultiContact 
connector came unplugged.  The customer noticed that his system was not 
operating, and called us to the site.
