Gluing solar panels to roof.

Uni solar pvl 136 powerbond pvl 136 watt 24 volt 216 inch x 15 5 inch flexible solar panel. Also we had a spot or two on our rubber roof that did not get enough contact glue when the rubber roof was put on at the factory. Any help gratefully appreciated.

The solar panels use electrical equipment developed by the startup voltserver that breaks dc power into discrete addressed packets something like the data packets sent over the internet. The panels put out too much voltage if the sun is strong and also when the battery is fully charged and does not need any more.
