Hey Julian,

Thanks for the info on the SHR17's. Any thoughts on the Sharp 62w tiles? On a 1 kW installation 16 electrical connections seems a lot more manageable then 55.

Daniel, to make things even easier and cheaper, if possible, why not mount panels on the ground, if you have the space, then there is no worries about new roofing or damages thereto....

Don't overlook unisolars Unisolar PVL-136T 136W, 24V Thinfilm Rooflaminate, If you consider a standing seam roof. The only limitation is a 3/12 roof pitch.
These are still cost effective panels and you would have a fifty year roof.

I think tom had a really good idea of mounting the panels on the ground. Not only would you not have to worry about damage but it might look nicer as well.
