G'day All I rarely do roofs but I can tell you with my pole, ground or DAT projects it's nearly impossible to cover the modules with a screening product for safety reasons. I refuse to use the mid panel j-box modules. I'm not one for boycotts but just use the old school modules with the j-box mounted on the portrait end. Thus when the modules aren't moving perhaps the manufactures will reach out and ask us installers/engineers as to why. Yeah right, lol.
