I am looking for information on best practices of attaching solar panels to the roof of my coach.
Any comments appreciated.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate your thoughts.

i think you will find that most are done with just adhesive.

My panels were originally installed by AM Solar (Springfield, OR), and they use a two sided tape (3M) under the stainless steel feet, and then cover the feet with Dicor (lap sealant...self leveling). No screws used. I recently reoriented two of my panels using the same method. My panels have been in the roof for over 10 years with no issues.

We were considering solar; was it a hassle to get the wires down to the bay with the inverter(s)?
Thank you.
