I'm curious to hear how people deal with plastic roof lights when they are working on industrial style trapezoidal roofs. Do you barrier them off? Leave them and net below? Board over them?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Hey guys can anyone clarify for me the safe working wind speeds for working on roof?
All i can find is 17mph but this is for roofers and scaffolders and not specific to PV.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance :tt1:

Has anyone installed a Renusol Intersole system on a plain clay tiled roof? I can't see any reason why it shouldn't be ok, but it's just that every example I've ever seen of it shows it installed on thicker pan tiles.
Presumably it would be ok but would sit a little higher than normal?
Would any one have a simple draft agreement or direct me for some help.

I am planning to use metasole fixings (renusol) on a metal roof. I am a little bit worried in terms of the earthing/bonding between the fixings and the metal roof because of the rubber membrane on the base of the clamps. The clamps are isolated from the roof, so different potential in case of a...
