Awning mounts are a bit of a pain to install, but I do think they looks sweet and provide a good option when the roof lines don't cooperate.

awning mounts let you get an optimal slope in a way that usually looks pretty good. here too, like the evac tubes above, they can offer a secondary benefit as a window or door awning.

If it were my.....

place I do the Buderus SKS flat panels. They have more of a track record than the evac tubes.
