Do solar panels need adhesive?
In the solar industry, adhesives are used throughout the process of manufacturing and installation. Henkel's adhesive Loctite 3388P enables high-strength ingot bonding in solar applications. Thin-film solar panels (see page 296), in particular, need adhesives around the edges because they typically don’t have frames to protect them.
What adhesive do you use for flexible solar panels?
Suitable adhesives for mounting flexible solar panels include polyurethane sealant, adhesive sprays, and strong double-sided tapes. Some reputable adhesive brands for solar panel installations are Sikaflex-221, 3M Hi-strength 90 spray, and 3M VHB industrial adhesive tapes. How do you secure flexible solar panels without drilling?
Which solar panel adhesive should I use for my RV?

An introduction to solar adhesives from our 2012 Renewable Energy Handbook.
Do thin film solar panels need adhesive?
Thin-film solar panels (see page 296), in particular, need adhesives around the edges because they typically don’t have frames to protect them. They need an additional moisture barrier called a side or edge seal. Many manufacturers use butyl, either in a liquid or tape form. Butyl-casting resins provide water vapor-tight sealing.
How much adhesive do I need for a solar panel bracket?
If you're using adhesive you want as much surface area connection between the bracket and the roof. A couple inches of bracket may not be enough. Using adhesive under Unistrut that matches the full length of the solar panels is much better. But I'm a lot more comfortable with actual fasteners.
