I'd never heard of VHB industrial tape. Thanks for the reference to it!
3M makes rolls of this material up to 24-inches wide: here-->
This tape would be interesting adhesive not only for mounting solar panels, but to mount metal roof-top roof vent flanges (the thicker VHB). There s also a VHB surface cleaner to use to prep the 2 surfaces to be bonded.
In fact, after some quick research, 3M VHB 4910 is used exclusively to assemble several manufacturer's aluminum-framed contractor trailer shells to the fiberglass or metal sheathing (!!!). Have a look at the assembly of a trailer shell with VHB tape alone (read: absolutely no screws, rivets or liquid adhesive) here-->
So, Flyfisher's use of this super bonding tape for his roof-top solar panel mount adhesive looks like an EXCELLENT application.
