"Most use 3M tape" to mount the panels. Wrong. Very few just use tape. Tape can ONLY be used on solid roofs, not rubber. I would hazard well over 90% use screws.
Yes. Rubber coated plywood is different from aluminum or fiberglass surface. Members here used 3M tape on fiberglass roofs, some used both 3M and deck screws. I also recall a report of one so-called "professional" in Quartzite that used 3M on rubber coated roof without screws, and example of unsafe install.
