Actually Very High Bond (VHB) foam tapes are incredibly strong and if
formulated for glass, will work quite well. They have been using it for
decades to mount heavy glass and aluminum panels on curtain walls on sky
scrapers. I would trust it totally as long as it was not bought at
HomeDepot.
I would not trust adhesive on the backs of panels for decades. This would be especially a concern with tiltups or ground mounts where there is more wind loading. When mounting some frameless BP modules I made some 4-inch long edge moldings of slotted hard foam called SeaFoam that is sold (but not m

There's a wealth of knowledge and know-how here. Someone with the answer

Todd,
I don't have your answers, only the caution that "blue foam" to many of
us with a construction backgrou

thermal stresses on the PV cells, internal buss, bonds, and other aspects
of the PV.

Hi Allan and Todd.
these modules sound like the ones that Powerlight used back many years ago.
These modules were mounted flat with the blue foam as insulation/mounting.
the concept while pretty cool at first look didn't work out.
Not sure what to tell you about what/how to mount them too howev
Todd,
I don't have your answers, only the caution that "blue foam" to
many of us with a construction background means extruded
polystyrene or "blueboard", commonly used around foundations. It
deteriorates with exposure to sunlight, so could only be used in
a
wrenches,
i have a customer who purchased 20 used astropower ap75 modules.
they are frameless and appear to have been previously mounted
using four, 2" wide X 10" long strips of blue rigid foam, glued
to the back of each module with some kind of
11 matches
