Hi,
How did you pick 85 mph?
Just a WAG about highway speeds. Considering the possibility of hurricane or tornado, they should withstand as much as possible. Since most attach panel feet with 3M VHB tape they will "depart" under severe loads.
I'm a DIY type so I plan on doing this myself.
Pianotuna...I consider you a solar expert...what "today" panel would you choose?
I doubt any kind of tape will hold it for very long..
I drilled holes all the way thru my roof trusses which are 3 inches thick and bolted stainless bolts and nuts on,,six bolts per panel..
Sealed the holes with silicone while sliding the bolts in,,,no leaks yet..
