Solar Panels on Sloped Roof

Solar panels are often supported on "rails", installed perpendicular to (across) or parallel to rafters. Rails are supported by individual mounts (base mounts) that may be spaced at 4 feet or more along the rail. Therefore, load from solar panels, including snow on panels, will be concentrated at the base mounts.
