It was mainly designed for BIPV but was adopted to framed panels, grounding is an issue, mounting of the electrical another. l have had bolted modules rip out of unirac in Hawaii during a hurricane so no velcro for me. I would also question the adhesive if it will take years of heat, water and the material it's adhered too. </div><div dir="auto">Fun times</div><div dir="auto"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 11, 2023, 2:41 PM Corey Shalanski via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Wrenches,<div><br></div><div>As far out as the subject line might seem, a company in Italy has apparently developed a system for attaching PV arrays to flat roofs <a href="https://www.generalmembrane.it/sites/default/files/Brochure-General%20FIX-ENG.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">using strips of VELCRO</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>The potential advantages of this system seem hard to ignore:</div><div> - lightweight</div><div> - no ballast required (also, no mechanical attachments)</div><div> - quick installation and easy assembly</div><div><br></div><div>Has anyone ever encountered anything similar here in the states?
