Hey Adam,
Creative solution #1 Do not install solar on any roof if you can ground
mount it.
Is this He Adam or the Him Adam?

Hey all,
I had started a thread about bonding to metal roofs in 2018 but can't
figure out how to respond via the archive. I know some things have
changed since then, so I'm circling back and starting a new thread.
In NY one of our inspection agencies (NYSERDA) requires bonding of
metal roof panels below the array, as well as within a 3' perimeter of
the array. S-5! in combination with Ironridge is now listed to bond the
roof under the array (so long as you hit every pan with an attachment)
but this doesn't solve the problem of trying to bond within the 3'
perimeter. For installs where we are only 18" from the ridge, this
means we are required to bond the adjacent roof as well.
Whenever possible we install Illsco SGB-4 lugs under the ridge cap. But
more and more we're finding roofs where the ridge cap feels
inaccessible, tricky, or where we simply don't want to get into roof
warranty issues associated with opening up a prior contractor's work.
Wondering if anyone else is coming up against this and what some
possible creative solutions might be. I don't want to walk away from
potential projects but...
As always, thanks for any thoughts
Adam
