every penetration would have to hit a rafter.

Any installer worth their salt can and will only go into your roof rafters. If you have asphalt, they can use Quick Mount and it will not void your warranty.

Exactly. Again, use a reputable installer and they will give you a 10 year install warranty. A 25 year roof warranty is a joke. Try to get a warranty repair after the labor warranty is gone from the roofer.

Stainless steel hurricane rated bolts are rated for 135 mph.

I'm not too concerned with the extra weight, but that s a consideration.

Again, as long as the go into the rafters you have no problem.
