Hi Bill;
Not to hijack the thread, but how did you handle fall protection and
work safely on that 12:12 pitch metal roof? I have a steep standing
seam roof project coming up. We wanted to set a ledger board on S5
clips, but were worried they would leave visible damage to the new roof.
Thanks

Just finished using S5PV railess on standing seam roof 12x12 pitch.
Worked great, but wire management was challenging with minimal
clearance under modules. Had to think ahead to make it work. And
still was a struggle. I also used 6 rather then 4 per module to even
out the loads on the roof panels. I feel confident that it is solid,
but I know how the roof was connected to include proper clip spacing
and screw size for maximum wind load here in the Columbia Gorge and
proper tacking of the top of the panel under the ridge to prevent
sliding down. If I had it to do over I would however have used rails
to make wire management easier!

HI All,
I’ve got a client who is set on wanting to do rail less racking.
I’m just working with him on overall design, hes doing the work.
Its not a large system. 16 modules on two roof orientations, ( 4
on one, 12 on the other) with offset modules. Standing metal
seam roof that is being installed with solar in mind, lots of
fasteners.
Hes very competent and pays attention to details.
Any positive/negative recommendations.
thanks in advance,
jay
