Installers who have done it tend to like this a lot — there are no fasteners to seal, nothing to chafe a sail, no penetrations in your deck or roof, and the finished panel sits almost flush. It's about as tidy as a solar install gets. The trade-off is that the bond \u003cem\u003eis\u003c\/em\u003e the mount, so surface prep and adhesive choice do the work that screws would otherwise do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSol-Go's recommendation, and what many of their customers use, is a two-tape system:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3M™ VHB™ Tape 5908\u003c\/strong\u003e — black acrylic foam tape, 0.010 in (0.25 mm), run as a \u003cstrong\u003e1 in perimeter band\u003c\/strong\u003e around the edge of the panel.

Full-area support is what makes walking on the panel sensible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are 3M industrial products, so you'll normally source them through an industrial distributor rather than a hardware store. As always with adhesives, the substrate matters — clean, dry, and compatible surfaces make or break the bond, and 3M's own data sheets are the best guide for surface prep and cure time on your particular material.
