yes i installed three 2x20 panels on the roof of my pool shed. works great, but make sure you strap it more times than shown, as they will sag if not well supported.

I installed these on the roof of my patio. I have 5 units connected together. Works like a charm. I get an approximate 5* temperature rise on a sunny day.

By the looks of it, I would say no. Yes I bought item but have not used it or even got it out of the box yet. But common sense should tell you, that you don't need a screen on the roof. Bob

FOREVER!- I would not use this again, unfortunately it did nothing for my roof. I had contacted the company and they just stated it would with more time- 3 MORE months.....?I did request my money back or even another re-order on them but they just want me to wait and gave me some excuse with the weather-rain-sun-etc....(bull)Do simple green and a bit of bleach- that works!

Yes. It did. No issues. I would not recommend taking it off and putting it back on. It's hard to align the nut to the hole on the roof. After putting it, I never removed it. It actually looks pretty cool on the car roof.

Instructions don't indicate use on a metal roof, but I do. Be careful how you attach it to the metal roof-you don't want any more holes than you already have! (It might work to find a type of hook that can be attached with the same screw that is already in place) I just clipped it on the edges the best I could and drooped it into the guttering. I put mine down about a foot into the down spout. It works for me.

Here is a link to the one I used. I didn't mount it on the roof, but it says you can: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007U5C2O/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_1 Scott

john, I have it mounted under a roof overhang so it does not get direct rain. But so far works without any issues.

Yes, we have, and it works very nicely. It does leave some dark marks on the roof liner, and you will have to check the tension on the vertical supports from time to time. We are very happy with ours, and I think you will be too.

Yes you do, but its not a big deal. 2 small holes for the mounting bracjets and 1 sightly larger hole for the wire (ab I ut as thick as an extensiin cord. Make as small of holes as possible for best waterproofing and durability. Use silicone caulk around the where the wire meets your roof for more waterproofing, and around the base of the feet. Smooth caulk with finger and youre good to go!

If you have good bite with the screws, they will pull the mounts down to the roof. I put a nice dab of silicone in the pre-drilled hole before installing the screw.

I haven't tried but I see no reason it won't. There is even a video on YouTube of it being used on a barreled tile roof.

I think so. I used some strong double sided tape and attached two of them to the roof of my atv. They are great and have held up staying outdoors for several months now.

i installed two on a shed roof two years ago. im very happy with them. its hard to say how long they can hold up against the sunlight but id guess 5 to 10 years maybe more.

So far so good. I live just outside of Boston and have mine mounted at the peak of the roof and entirely exposed. We've had a lot of cold and snow already this year and it seems to be holding up. I only installed in September of this year so haven't made it through a full winter yet.

Mark is incorrect. The kit includes the brackets and instructions for mounting to a roof. However, you will need to choose the screws/bolts/washers etc. that will work with the type of roof you are attaching to. For instance, we mounted to our garage roof and we used bolts and washers on the bracket that was able to get attached to a solid wood beam under the shingles but we had to use toggle anchors, washers and bolts for the bracket that wasn't able to be attached to a solid wood beam. We also used tar in the holes we drilled before screwing anything down. Make sure you make the holes in your roof watertight again! Mark is incorrect.
