At long last, I'm migrating my panels to the roof of my off-grid cabin. A new exposed-fastener metal roof was put on last fall.
I'd like to do this mostly myself, with some help from someone who will probably know less than me.
Fortunately my roof access is conveniently low so not a lot of dangerous climbing involved. Looking around I've noticed a system that appears to consist of "pincers" that clamp onto the ribs of the exposed fastener panels. Then rails are attached to these. I've looked at one maker of a number of these products, S-5! I know a lot depends on the style of the rib.
But I know there are other methods and products. I've attached pics to give some idea of what we're working with.
Thanks for any suggestions and/or recommendations. I'll be mounting eight panels vertically.
