Is this purely an assumption or taking the word of the home/building owner that the roofer 'did it right'? ('assume' can be a very bad word in this line of work!)</div><div><br></div><div>Is there some way of visually or physically checking the method and/or number-of-times the roof panels are attached or do you have to assume (that word again!) that the roofer followed the correct installation specs. Even if the roofers 'say' that they installed the roof panels with adequate number of attachments, with whom would the liability lie if big wind storm hits and the array/roof partially or completely lifts off the building? </div><div>AND that being said, do typical metal roof panel installation specs allow for uplift loading from something like a PV array?</div><div><br></div><div>Don't the metal panels just attach to the roof sheathing as opposed to the structural rafters or trusses, and if so then how would this be different than bolting roof attachments to roof sheathing on a typical residential roof, which we all learned in Grade one of solar PV install school, is not a good idea?!?</div><div><br></div><div>Enlighten me please.</div><div><br></div><div>benn</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </div><div>www.daystarsolar.ca * Ph: 780-906-7807 </div><div>Construction Electrician Solar Photovoltaic Systems Certified</div><div>Certificate # 0007S</div><div>HAVE A SUNNY DAY</div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION"><div><div>On 20/08/12 11:16 AM, "Garrison Riegel" <<a href="mailto:garrison@solarserviceinc.com">garrison@solarserviceinc.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><div><br></div><div xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium)"><style>
