Not a lot of you guys in the field today 'eh? I was just checking a spec on my
laptop and noticed i had a wireless signal and a mailbox full of great
feedback, thanks again everyone!!!
I'll go over all the details from everyone a little more when i'm done on site
for the day. For a few of you i just wanted to show you this link to the
S-5-PV clamp, which is different from just the S-5! clamp > Click here to
learn more. < The S-5-PV does not need rails, the mod frames sit on the
'mounting disc' which can accommodate one or two modules. BUT, with the
Enphase system, this leave no where to mount the inverters. Bill made a good
point; save this mounting method for string inverter systems. We are now
planning this project using just the S-5 clamp/L-foot/rail system. No
problems.
Back at 'er!

We have used these for years. They work better than wire ties, but
the rubber liner deteriorates over time, so install them as if there
is no rubber protection on the loom clamp.

If this helps,
I just installed a system and used 3 different size loop clamps (
del city) which worked really well.
I used 3/8" for single wires, 3/4 for 2 wires and 1" for 3
and also for the connector, worked really well, made it all very
clean.
I attached them with SS tek screws into the rails.

Just
finished one. . . Direct Power recommended
drilling and bolting directly to the aluminum
rails--easy and solid. Although, I was not
happy about all the wire management that went
into it though. Sure would be nice if somebody
came along and made some integrated wire
raceways!!!
It was
amazing how many blank stares I got from racking
manus at SPI, when I asked them if they had any
in the works. Most just kept pointing to their
wire clips and pretended not to know about the
NEC requirements.
