We've found that in the Bay Area that deck-mount solutions typically pencil out structurally (via a structural professional engineer) as long as the deck is 1/2" plywood or thicker, assuming we have all the info on how the roof is constructed. The big assumption is that we can get all that roof

Re: [RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Wrenches Sounds like a SIP's type product, there are quite a few multi hole attachment bases that are designed for SIP's. Most will have a larger base, lots of holes for screws to attach that do not require rafters underneath to attach. Fun times On Wed, Mar 29, 2023, 8:30 AM frenergy via

Re: [RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Quickbolt makes a similar product to the nano. I've used it several times. The last time when I was trying to attach to oak beam and had no experience with how difficult that was.  They work well, but no greater than 36" spacing.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Re: [RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Very timely post for me, Matt. Thanks. I was just asked to bid a roof mount with SIP panels. My first thought is to just say no. I am very hesitant to rely on the pull out strength of screws in OSB. I will be watching this thread. Shine On! Kris Schmid Legacy Solar, LLC 137 West 1st Avenue

Re: [RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Hi Matt, I've used these in the past when on a comp roof and there was no good way to get into the rafters (or TJI's in this case) https://sunmodo.com/nanomount/ You might want to replace the screws with something shorter and beefier though to get more grip if you are only going into 1/2"

[RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

Hi All, I've run into a roof-mounted job where the roof is built-up with the following: Comp shingle Plywood Foam board T (roof deck, but also interior ceiling) The beams that hold the t up are wide-spaced and not convenient for fastening the full extent of the array. This being the case, I
