An uninvited two cents here...
Assuming the missing word in your first sentence is "customer", I have never understood the old "customer is always right" line. In my experience, the customer is often wrong, and it's my job (in my field of expertise, that is) to tactfully point that out. If the customer insists on what I consider to be an unwise approach, I can write a disclaimer and hold to that approach, or turn down the work. I have turned down jobs for this reason, and have never ended up regretting having done so. In this case, this would especially be true with a long time installer like Jay, who would know what to advise a customer. Allan

Jay The is always right!Just carefully align the S-5!s with a mason line and use a plywood template or some other material template to keep these straight. We also use a lot of S-5! and have Milwaukee 12v impact drivers to set the screws. Check the torque with a wrench as well. Good luck.

It would have been prudent to build a thin plywood jig to match the PV you are using. The advantage of rails is that you have somewhere to attach wires, boxes (and inverters).
