Can you mount solar above vents?

I see no issue unless it is a vent that would be blocked from opening.
Picture would help

I have one mounted slightly elevated above a sewer vent with no issues…As far as ‘truly elevated’ goes, I have a 100w and a 120w with one of their sides mounted atop the baggage rail (about 6” from rooftop - to overcome railing and air cond. shadowing) and the other side attached to the roof via fab’d (all, pop-riveted) vertical aluminum extension legs - I fabricated a 3/4” square aluminum frame for each panel to rest atop attached using 1-1/4” plumbing ‘U’ bolts (Home Depot) to secure to railing surround, and on the panels opposite open side, vertical aluminum corner legs (with rooftop attachment pads) extending down to the roof…To the roof, #10 5/8” pan head screws and caulking..Even at up to 80mph all has remained very secure :)
