They pretty much live on the roof without any kind of protection.  There are no trees nearby so in is really unlikely that a branch or other debri would fall on them, and they are well anchored to the roof - there is a rack that the panels are attached too, and we added some extra rafters in the ceiling to hold the bolts.  We also flashed all the bolts properly, and the roof is brand new.  The panels do need to be washed a every 6 weeks or so, so you need to put a ladder up off the deck and go do that, but aside from that its not a big deal.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What about storms?

Are you planning to keep them out and exposed the next time we have a big storm (the kind of storms that leaves tree branches in the middle of the road or fallen tree branches and derby down on top of parked cars)  Or is there some kind of protection that you could put on top of the solar panels.]]></description>

Give Craig Dinsdale a call at CC Energy.  415.531.9877. He is a decent guy who will give you a competitive price and good service.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Do you recommend a few solar companies ?  It&#039;s hard to tell who is better ?  Is there an article, or rating of them ?
Favorite kitchen appliances ?  My daughter and best friend are building homes in California.

Thanks so much.]]></description>
