Abstract
Various systems and techniques may be used to enhance the sensing loads on a roof surface. In some implementations, an impact-resistant surface-mounted roof sensor system may include a sensor, a protective cover, and a load transfer mechanism. The sensor may be adapted to sense a load incident thereon, and the protective cover may be configured to span at least the width of the sensor and adapted to withstand impacts from dense media and an direct incident load. The load transfer mechanism may be adapted to mechanically transfer a load applied on the protective cover to the sensor.
