We’ve also used the ECO-65 which works great but the problem with your roof will be flashing. The roofs we installed on were asphalt so we could use the flashing. It’s going to be hard to seal a ECO-65 plate on a metal roof.

I searched extensively for a product that could allow us to attach directly to the top skin of a SIP panel without having to use blocking or through fasteners. We ended up using an attachment made by EcoFasten Solar. It uses a steel plate with a number of screws (8, I think) that collectively create the required pullout resistance. They had engineering to support using the product on SIPs, which was awesome. A quick look at their website shows that they still make a SIP-specific attachment. Their flashing isn't ideal for Pro-panel, but I would think that you could make it work. -Luke On Dec 16, 2015, at 16:45, Dana <d...@solarwork.com<mailto:d...@solarwork.com>> wrote: SIP ROOF INSTALLATION I was asked to install on a SIP panel roof today. 5/8” OSB over 6” of foam on a 9:12 roof pitch at 9800’ elevation with a Pro panel metal roof skin. There is a finished ceiling underneath the lower side of the SIP roof panel. I explained that it was not ideal due to the lack of good attachment etc. They were not concerned and said “you’ll make it work!” I have done SIP panels in new construction and we could install backing from underneath and refoam. My first thought was to do 2-2.5 times the normal L feet. One thought was to use expanding moly-bolts. Has anyone have experience attaching to SIP roof that was not prepared for an array? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dana Orzel Great Solar Works, Inc - NABCEP # 051112-136 E - d...@solarwork.com<mailto:d...@solarwork.com> - Web - solarwork.com<http://solarwork.com> O - 970.626.5253 C - 208.721.7003 "Responsible Technologies for Responsible People since 1988" P Please consider the environment before printing this email. _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org<mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm> Check out or update participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org<http://www.members.re-wrenches.org>
