Brad,

Do you think you could have put a panel on there that is another inch wider? I think your panel is 39 inches wide (front to back on the TM), and I’m looking at one that is 40 inches wide. It looks like there’s enough room from your picture, and also from measuring my TM, but it would be close, particularly as the roof slopes down more as it gets to the edge.

It seems most panels these days — the good ones anyway — are in the 39-41 inch width range, and most are 40-41 inches. But the output capacity is going way up for the size. And inch wider and an inch longer ups the output now to around 360/370 watts, and still around 40-43 pounds, similar to the older 250-watt panels. Incredible.

And just to update — would you do anything differently now that it’s been installed a few more years? Tape still holding up well?
