As far as a roof anything goes.Solar,TV whatever I am not a big fan of drilling holes in a good roof.

I see houses out my way completely cover with panels.
What do you do idk you have a roof problem cause the Solar Guys were butchers?

There is a farm down the road with this Drive In Movie size panel in the field that follows the sun.

That seems to be the way to go but appears to be a mega buck set up??

#30, most of those need the Grid power to drive the actuator/censors that control the movement of the array.

No Grid power, sorry pal...unless you are out there moving the array every few minutes your power generation goes south quickly.

Are fire districts OK with roof mounted solar panels?
How about homeowner’s insurance company? Not so much for roof integrity, but in case of fire.
