When I worked for Open Energy, we installed their tile product at
Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village. I do not recall what they
state as the official snow load rating, but I know that the tiles can
be walked on with out causing damage / glass breakage. This was one of
the aspects I spent a lot of design time on to make sure high snow
loads were possible. The tile has a polymer base that supports the
back of the glass as opposed to traditional extruded aluminum rails
that grab around the edge of the glass.
Suntech is now manufacturing and branding the tile product for Open
Energy (Suntech has the licensing rights) but I do not think that they
are on the CEC list yet under Suntech's name. If interested, send
inquiries to so...@eagleroofing.com <mailto:so...@eagleroofing.com>,
or additional information and product specs can be found at
http://www.openenergycorp.com or http://www.appliedsolar.com.
The product may not make economical sense if the customer is not
installing a concrete roof tile roof, but it does meet the snow load
rating request, so I thought I would post.

*Subject:* [RE-wrenches] High snow load on PV Modules
I am looking for some information o PV modules that are rated to
withstand 240lbs/sqft.
I have a friend that lives in Tahoe City, CA & the roof is 4/12
pitch, engineering is requiring panels to meet those requirements.
Any of you northern climate wrenches know anything that may be helpful?
Bill B you have anything? As always thanks in advance TUMP
