To get the open area equivalent of a 2" vent pipe would only require
the bottom of the panel to be 1/2" above the top of the vent pipe.
However, for folks in a cold climate, condensation freezing into a
large ice block on the bottom of the panel could block the vent or
damage the panel. Pretty sure vent pipes under the array are not a
good idea for many of us. <br>
