I saw a new pole mount rack at the MREA that has built in enclosed wire channels.
It is very sturdy, heavy and does not use the panels as a structural member. It is stiff without the panels help. I think the company that builds it is operated by a NABCEP installer The web site is http://www.ussolarmounts.us/index.html Just so you could check it out, Bob Ellison From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Bill Loesch Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2011 7:28 AM To: RE-wrenches Subject: [RE-wrenches] Wire Management WAS: Solar World Poly Ray et al, I'm very curious how the Germans deal with the pigtail wires. Typically, their standards make ours pale by comparison. As solar becomes more mainstream, the trade solutions will follow. Unfortunate and disappointing that the race to the bottom is now also including heretofore premium quality manufacturers.

(Hint Hint Solarworld). A few years ago we could run conduit module to module, looked great but that would be unreasonable on a large system today. However the "just let the wires fly, and the installer can figure out" design may be the current standard, but its not even close to being optimized. Its unbelievable all these bright engineers on the manufacturing side can't come up with something better.

Standard appliances (such as air conditioning units) all accommodate standard trade size wiring hardware (conduit and fittings). This is not the case with PV wiring. _____ No virus found in this message.
