[QUOTE="Bob Smith, post: 536998, member: 35176"] So you will not want them flat on the wall? Be aware of building regulations. I posted the national regulation which is sometimes overwritten by the local councils. Near Birmingham I was told they allow up to 4 inches of protrusion. Once you know what you are allowed without planning, then it will either be obvious that it will be strong enough because they won't be that much on a slop. If you go for the ideal angle, you may need permission. As for your concerns about the wind, just make sure you select strong enough mounting kits. The manufacturer will inform you You may have seen from my photos that I also have a flat roof. I originally thought I could have 2 panels on ballasted support with 25° incline from Resolsun (I think) after talking to them I realized that they would have been too close to the edges and therefore not recommended. I am pretty sure you'll find a technical solution. Now, will it be cheap enough? That's the question :) [/QUOTE]
