I feel that a drip edge that the bottom ends of the panels lock over is best for standing seam.

Hi Rick, Do you have a pic of the house?

For a standing seam metal roof with a 17:12 pitch, is a drip edge necessary or recommended? Since drip edges often have a 45 degree angle to the 'normal' pitch of 4 or 5:12, is adding a drip edge unnecessary, redundant, or counterproductive?
Thanks.

Here's what the 17:12 roof looks like after the roofers finished this area. The horizontal 2x4s will support a gutter behind a 10" fascia. I'm not sure how the drip edge contacting the back of the gutter will work out. (Oh, the 'zag' in the roof line are the PV panels on a 4:12 pitch.)

So many pieces? Only the roofer knows....
We had light rain yesterday and the water comes off the roof edge and falls to the center of the 2x4 supports. These supports are for a future gutter and seem to be in just the right spot. The drip edge is ignored by the water, at least during the time I stood in the drizzle!

Drip edge is always preferred as a secondary capillary break.

Why are there so many pieces at the one edge?
Drip edge should empty into the gutter and not behind it.
