[RE-wrenches] Silicon-energy mounts?

[Jesse Dahl]

Wrenches,

I will be installing a few arrays at a local community college in MN and I'm looking for some information.  I will be using silicon-energy "cascade" series modules and I'm wondering if anyone here has installed these modules. Silicon-energy is manufacturing these modules 15 miles from the college so this will be a very neat project. 

The roof and ground mounts seem to be fairly straight forward, but I'm wondering about awning mount arrays.  These modules mount different than most modules on the market.  

Also, I'm running into problems with the building administration people in Minneapolis. They oversee all building maintenance of all colleges in MN. They don't want things on there roofs or walls......  Anyone deal with this?  What is the best way to show them installing solar arrays on roofs does not lead to rivers of water running into the building or premature roof failure.  



Thanks as always for the help!
