I go through all the steps I took to install 2 solar panels on the roof of a pop-top caravan and explain why I decided to go with this solution.
No penetrations through the roof! I used appropriate adhesives and ran the wires externally using my unique method to facilitate the need for extending wiring when the roof pops.
NOTE: Thorough research was conducted before committing to this method. The tensile strength of the adhesive I used is enormous; being able to resist over a tonne of uplift on a single mounting. Concerns with the adequacy of the mountings have been omitted by installing a redundancy device (a braided steel cable threaded through the solar panels themselves and screwed to the outer aluminium shroud of the pop-top) which will not allow the panels to lift in the event of a failure. This was done after filming and not included in this video yet is a recommended method of backing up the safety of the system.
