I wonder if they consulted structural engineers. Putting multiple 1000 lb loads on roofs that weren't designed for it doesn't seem like a good business plan.

I think It’s safe to assume that an evaluation/inspection on the building is performed before installation.

Should be, but my comment is more along the lines of I doubt many buildings can take additional multiple 1000 lb loads.
