Here’s the thing: the last thing you need is for the sail that is a solar panel to blow off the roof and decapitate the poor devil behind you. Since the frames of the panels need to be mounted with an inch gap between panel and roof for cooling, you really need to screw them down.
I think there are a couple of people on here who attatched the brackets to a roof with adhesive 10 or 12 years ago, and haven't decapitated anyone yet.
If I'm wrong about that, I definitely want to know!
For what it is worth, it isn’t likely that your allergy is to the glass. It is very much more likely you are allergic to the resin. Early in my career, I was a plastics chemist in the electrical equipment industry where we had people developing allergies all the time. It was always to the resin, not the glass.
Hmmm...that is bad news, from the point of view of wanting to remove the paint from the gel coat and tooth-up the gelcoat a bit :(.
I have half a mind to ask someone to do a small spot, create a little dust, and then I snort it. My allergy, although quite bad (when I tried to sleep in the van after doing what I thought was an extremely thorough cleanup, I had to use a month's worth of allergy meds in one night), did not involve anaphylaxis. It was a big hassle, but not life-threatening.
