We lost an array last year in Haiti to a Hurricane, but it all comes down to mounting, racking, and debris flying into the array.   We determined our rack which used the Schletter pipe clamps (pinch bolts) had pulled off the mounting pipes.  We through bolted the clamps so they couldn't pull off again, and went to triple rails.  I think racking in Miami done to hurricane codes is probably not going to make the news.

Aloha Everyone,
I was just wondering how all the PV arrays did during these storms?
Does Florida have higher pull out values and wind designs for their PV/H20 systems?
Is there any thing the rest of us could learn from all this?
Photos?
Mahalo Nui Loa,
