FYI - re 3M VHB tape - I have tested (beyond) the limits and it failed spectacularly.
I used VHB tape to attach amsolar's "Rocker Feet" with my 120w & 80w panels about 4 years ago - mounted on fiberglass roof (Bigfoot TC). No screws were used, only VHB tape (2"x1" on each mounting "foot").
All was well with absolutely no problems until May 20, 2013. That was the day my TC and truck were struck by a tornado with peak velocity reported to be at least 210mph. VHB tape failed - panels were ripped from the roof never to be seen again. Needless to say, there was other damage to TC & truck as well - but most damage has been repaired.
Botton line - VHB tape can fail - it's not bullet (or wind) proof!
