    Disaster w/insulation

    Thank you so much for the options. I think maybe the tape might be a good option. I understand they have to have contact for the glue to stick and some does and in other areas there is a gap so the only thing it can stick to is the ribs.

    Paint Color and Thermal Bridging, Heat Transfer

With the radiant heat, white or any light color, may reflect heat but dark colors would absorb it, holding onto the...

    Electric

    Anyone know if you can mount flex panels to 1/4" plywood panels just larger than solar panels. Glue, staple or tape??? If I attached them to a ladder rack, Chevy Express Extended Cargo Van, would the vibration damage them especially off road or would the plywood protect them?? So many questions...

    Looking for recommendations

    I am in Santa Rosa CA and all the solar co Want $3000 - $4000+. I want someone to install because I want it done right. Bob mentioned a company in Arizona that did a great job for around $2000. I'm thinking road trip also.

    Stealthing with removable Decals

    I was thinking about the metallic signs. But then I am not sure if a cop would write down license plate numbers to see if the same vehicle was parking in the same area. If so and he saw the same license plate with a different sign then you would be so busted.They would know it was deliberate and...
