In his answers to comments, Andy says he used only sticky tape to hold his photovoltaic system to his fiberglass roof.
No bolts, no screws.
He admits to not verifying the structure prior to traveling.
He says a pre-drive inspection would expose faults in his mounting tape... avoiding all the subsequent drama.

One video commenter is satisfied with tiny screws into sheet-metal... but I think I would increase my insurance and lower my deductible.

WOW the way he pulled off the road was insane. Hardly slowed down before hitting the unpaved DIRT shoulder. Good way to kill yourself and others.
I suspect his channel is a good place to see what NOT to do.
