Re: [RE-wrenches] Wire Management--was RE: Rooftop wiring

Shoot, I'm in school now for me Master's Electrical Ticket. Just talking about PV gets the instructors all fidgety. (I know one who can't even say Photovoltaic). Our text (Delmar's Standard) states in several places that DC cannot be converted to AC... they offer only three paragraphs on Photovoltaics -- right next to thermal couples... under the heading "other small sources of electricity". db

 Of far more significance is the overall wire management of USE-2 conductors in the array. Structure suppliers still do a terrible job of providing an effective means of controlling and protecting conductors—this is nearly a decade after the first commercially available system was developed. Is anyone else ticked off about this???

 

Bill.

Yes, Bill I'm totally behind you. I'm very tired of trying to invent wire management products in the field. Ever since we lost our module j boxes......

We use Pro Solar's rails as defacto wire trays, but it really should be listed for that, and have conduit adapters, etc. 

Solve this problem and array grounding, and there will hardly be anything left for us to bitch about.
