The Trina 410 panels are 39.5 " wide and will just b a r e l y fit on my roof with a little scooch past the white rooftop towards the grey curvature.
I've been inclined to run rails down the sides to have more support and strength, and to raise the outer contact area to compensate for the slight curve of my roof.
The panel frame is 35mm so I can conceive of a 35mm bracket, but this would have to be INSIDE of the frame, probably a bracket turned backwards.
If the bracket is a Z shape or double L, I could rest the panel on top of the lip and screw down, but this wouldn't be an entire 35mm panel clamp grip.
I'm thinking about a rack that could extend out a little in order to provide more conventional mounting hardware, and that rack could be raised with leveling nuts etc.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to mount the panels as they extend a wee bit over the edge of the roof?
Have links? Pics? Anything?
Thanks in advance.
