I'm in the process of setting up my system, hung up on the mounting and looking for advice. I have a flat roof with 3x8 beams spaced at 32 inches that I would like to use. The roof has only a slight slope of 8-9 degrees and ideally I'd like to have 18 degrees tilt. Typically people here use basic L-bracket and rail but I'd like to get an extra 10 degrees of tilt. It is also a hurricane area.
Any advice on a mounting, rail system, or kit. Do I just stick with the current 8-9 degrees for a flat rail system that will keep the panels closer to the roof. What efficiency loss would I expect? Or do I try and find a system that I can tile and addition 8-10 degrees but may be more prone to fail in high winds? If I did the spacing and maths correct one of the rails would need to be about 5 1/2 inches than the other to get the extra tilt.
I feel confident on everything else for the system but stuck on the mounting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
