<P>I'm looking for thoughts regarding flat roof solutions. We love the flexibility, speed and ease of ballasted solutions. We sacrifice "perfect" or "better" tilt angle (we are typically around 35-40 north). And most importantly, we are startting to bump into "value engineered" roofs that can't handle more than 2 lbs/SF (we will be making the live load/dead load arguements as per a previous thread, but the AHJ holds all the cards).</P>

<P>So- what about doing a U-LA or other fixed mounting system on a flat roof... anyone have rough costs, experice, resources to share?. We would have to have a roofer come and "witch hat" all penetrations.... work on a tall lift to through bolt to steel (powder actuated Hilti from above?). Hmmmm I think my labor will double. Maybe I oughta just glue down some uni-solar and call it a day... <BR><BR></P>
