Best adhesive to mount solar panels with? After some researching on various forums, it looks like a common method for attaching solar panels to vehicle roofs is via adhesive, either Sikaflex or 3M VHB.
Make sure the surface is clean and free of any tape or other materials before applying silicone sealant to seal solar panels. Add some silicone at the corner of the glass where it meets with the frame or any other added edge protection. Make sure that you do not apply too much silicon since it will overflow after installing the panel back.
