<div dir="ltr">I am using bifacial panels for albedo harvest, so no roof surface, just open rafters. Mod rails mounted perpendicular. The Sunmodo gasket did work well in combo with bottom mounting the modules ( i.e. no top bolts between the panels to interfere with the press-fit of the gasket). But you really need to make the gap a little wider, 1/2" or more, to get that particular gasket to tap in easy and snug. I used Ironridge camo clamps at additional expense instead of the UFOs.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 13, 2023 at 1:17 PM August Goers <<a href="mailto:august@luminalt.com">august@luminalt.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Kirk,<div><br></div><div>This probably isn't the answer you want, but we insist that a conventional roof is installed (could be metal, bitumen, etc) and then install the array on top if the client needs it to be watertight.
