This invention describes a system for installing solar panels on a roof without drilling any holes. It works by connecting many solar panels together into a large, rigid array that is heavy and wide enough to resist wind uplift by its own weight and footprint alone. The claims specify that the panels must weigh at least 16 kg per square meter, and the entire array must cover a minimum area of 25 square meters with one side at least 5 meters long.
Why it matters: Filed before advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and structural analysis tools were widely available. These tools could now precisely model the wind uplift on a large, interconnected array, making it easier to design and validate such a non-ballasted system to meet modern building codes.
