Thank you!

I wanted to share as it is really a good deal for a roof. Framing/structure and roofing material in one and clear span. Just needs professional engineer for city limits for the connection specifications.

Solar would require a special bracket, I have thought about it and have some brackets left over from the modification. May do it. Just have to slide it between the panel overlaps at the connection bolts.

Yup. It's a truly brilliant system.

The last thing it's lacking is ease of insulating.

Brackets wouldn't be too hard for solar. And I bet it would work really well with bifacial panels. Mmmmmmm...

Yes, insulation is going to be a little tricky. I haven't settled on a method yet. It might just be blanket insulation installed on the inside. With an air-sealer on the panel seams...

Also, anything you do on the roof to insulate is all curved work. Slow going!

Don't know...

The bifacials may be a great idea with the reflectivity of the galvanizing. Didn't know about them until you said something. (Had to Google!)

I will be posting more videos in the future.

What about spray foam?

Curves make things take time, that's for sure.
