<p>The S5 is only as good as the installer. I have seen them come off with a string of panels on an insurance inspection I did.</p>
<p>I billed them and made another note in my journal of why the only thing that should go on a metal roof is rainwater.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">I'm with Jerry Shafer on this one. S-5 clamps with rails work well without punching holes in the metal roof. If the roof is fastened well to beefy steel C channel it should be fine. The S-5 clamps themselves are stronger than the roofing.</span></p>
