I got the well nuts in my possession, but decided against using them. I didn't like the idea of drilling a 1/2" hole to insert the well nuts. Finding the rafters wasn't difficult and I think it's a stronger way to go.

Make sure you get the correct well nut size. You size them according to the plywood thickness. I got them from McMaster Carr.

Thanks much Salvo. What did you end up using for hardware?

Since you've decided to go with PWM, the 140 watt panels, in addition to being less expensive, have a better amp rating than the 150 watt models.

8.00 Amps, look at the specs. The 17.0V is not critical, it gets bumped down to 14.4v by your charge controller anyways, so less voltage losses. Solar Blvd 140 watt panel specs.

IMHO, I'd buy the 140's. If they fit, size wise, on your roof.

I am looking at these now. Decided to go back to the website after BFL's post to compare. Aren't we concerned with Isc on PWM controllers and not Imp?
