I think someone here long ago recommended solarscrim.com; when I recommended it to three contractors I heard:

1) "awesome, I just bought some and I'll use this on every project!"
2) "too expensive, I'm getting some tennis court screening on my own and doing it myself."
3) "too expensive, I'm getting some landscape cloth(?) and doing it myself."

IMHO it looks pretty nice and you would only need it over where the wiring is (unless you or your customer wanted to pay for the full back to be covered, of course), but I can't comment on its cost relative to alternatives.

Issue with hardware cloth, perforated metal, etc. is that you'd need to find a way to reliably bond it, and sometimes a homemade solution may have some sharp edges/points. You may be able to use a cable tray instead (depending on your BOS approach, could run that E-W to your inverters/combiner boxes in combination with N-S rolls of scrim).

Or of course, look to plethora of excellent wire management options provided by your racking manufacturer. Ha ha ha.

Hey Wrenchers,

Does anyone have suggestions for netting/protecting wires behind a ground mount (for keeping hands out of there...not animals). I have seen quite a few home-made'ish looking options on systems around here (screwing hardware cloth onto the back of frames/racking, etc) but am looking for a more professional option....ideally something that is as clean looking as possible. For what its worth the panels will be (4) high in landscape. Thanks for any thoughts.
