We're building a new bike store at the bottom of the garden (complies with permitted development) and have deiced to make it a solar powered roof, has anyone used the panels just as the main roofing material? I can;t see any point in putting a corrugated material beneath them if I can find a way of closing the gaps - saw the thread about CT1 (Solar Limpets) and wondered if that would work.
Not nescesarily worried about the FIT side of things so doesn't have to be MCS compliant mounting system.
Any idea how to seal the gaps between the panels, or mount the panels with no gaps perhaps using the frame holes they come with?
Interestingly I see unistrut have launched a PV mounting system, so could use some of that, I've used it on oil rigs in North Sea, and 25 years on it's still holding satellite dishes in place through the worst gales!
I also see schletter do a wooden framed solar car port.. wonder how they seal the gap?
Innovative solutions welcome..
