Hi Bill, Their new data sheet says +113 psf (their engineer put out a white sheet saying they go to 150 psf) with the 6 mm glazing passing a 2" hail @ 72 mph test. So they're beefy at 62# each.

I'm sure you've already researched this and I certainly see where you're coming from concerning the snow's effect on PV frames but is too much strength lost being frameless? Their data sheet says the "static load is 50 psf, pretty low for snow country, on the other hand would snow stay on the array?...it looks like an ice skating rink when installed. Maybe get a look-see at Intersolar. You've got me curious also.

It's a 9:12 pitch in deep snow country, and I like not having a frame to worry about getting scrubbed off. I can see that wire management will be an issue upfront although their LSX rail system does provide for some of that. We are coupling these with Enphase M250 micro inverters, another wire management issue. We do have a set of 4 glass suction cups to be able to put a handle on them. What else?? They say their Canadian, with an office in Boulder, Co. I am wondering if there are others installing these and what experiences, along with the pro's and con's are in advance, thanks!
