The adhesive does the sealing; the screws stop the housing peeling at motorway speed while the adhesive is young or if it degrades.

A panel lying flat on a roof is presenting almost the wrong angle to it, and midwinter output falls off a cliff. Being able to prop the panel up towards the southern sky when you are parked recovers a meaningful part of that — in exactly the season a conversion needs it most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLay it flat before you drive\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not optional. A tilted panel at motorway speed will be torn off, taking the brackets and part of the roof with it. Tilt frames suit vans that park up for days at a time; if you move every morning, you will stop bothering and the mechanism becomes dead weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatch the bracket length to the panel: 28in for a 100W, 50in for larger modules or a pair of 100W panels.
