I ordered the Renogy 100 watt kit on Amazon. Ditto on the real world recommendation - it means a lot. I have a metal roof and will have trouble convincing myself to drill holes in it, though I'm sure a bit of caulking will keep them dry. I'm thinking about where to run the wires, too. How about winter - cover it or take it off?
Where are you house batteries located? You can run the wiring from the roof down a sewage vent or fridge vent if that's adjacent to your battery location. Otherwise, i would use a box or fitting on the roof and seal it appropriately.
No need to store the panel in Winter. Mine makes it through MN winters fine, tilted. I like the idea that it is always keeping the batteries in good shape all year long.
