I don't think I'm going to get the spans I need in this high wind area with an off-the-shelf aluminum solar rail. I think the purlins will need to be steel. I'm thinking either Z-purlins or I-beams. I have to mount the modules in landscape. I guess what I'm really looking for is standard hardware that I can bolt to the purlins/beams and bolt or clip to the module frame.
These will likely be AC modules, so I also need to consider wire management.
