I don't have your answers, only the caution that "blue foam" to
many of us with a construction background means extruded
polystyrene or "blueboard", commonly used around foundations. It
deteriorates with exposure to sunlight, so could only be used in
an application such as this if protected from UV.<br>

i have a customer who purchased 20 used astropower ap75
modules. they are frameless and appear to have been previously
mounted using four, 2" wide X 10" long strips of blue rigid
foam, glued to the back of each module with some kind of
adhesive.<br>
<br>
two questions:<br>
<br>
this seems to be a reasonable mounting system id like to
repeat. would anyone familiar with this kind of mounting
technique be willing to comment/speculate on an adhesive that
would not degrade the tedlar backsheet? whatever was
previously used worked great.<br>
<br>
what kind of flat/smooth mounting surface would folks suggest
the other side of the blue foam be attached to? the only thing
i can think of is plywood, but that would rot over time.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
