Trying to find a way for temporary mounts on a roof

Trying to find a way for temporary mounts on a roof

Hello all,

I recently bough a small 50W solar panel and am looking for a way to mount it to my roof. I'm currently renting so I want to avoid drilling holes in the shingles in the roof. The type of roof have access to is like the image below. It gets great sunlight all day and would love to mount it there. It will only be in place for about 8 months until I move out and I'll be taking it with me. I also have easy access to the roof so if any storms/high winds are coming through I can take it down easily. Cabling/battery location is not an issue as there is a window nearby I can snake the wires through.

​

Any tips or ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks

​

Solar Supports

Solar Supports I'm looking at installing a solar system at our off grid cabin this spring and I'm trying to come up with a good way to get the panels up high enough to catch decent sunlight. The roof of the cabin is not an option as there are some trees blocking it but I do have a shed that I figure I'd be able to brace the supports to, I can't use the shed roof either as it's facing the wrong direction. A couple neighbors have systems which they've put on poles that go up sort of like a street lamp or flagpole style support which is an option but I thought maybe either a frame like a scaffold kind of thing secured to the back of the shed might be a more sturdy option. What have you guys used to elevate your panels on a standalone frame, or have you seen any companies that sell good kits? I'm in BC in Canada as well.
