All, Has anyone ever mounted MLEs (optimizers, microinverters, RSDs) on the perimeter of the array or elsewhere instead of underneath the PV module?
I never was a fan of climbing up on a pitched roof and removing modules to replace the electronics. And with a recent knee replacement, I won't be providing this service again. In post-surgery downtime this simple idea surfaced. My next job if it's practical is to create jumper module cables to extend down to the electronics, mounted just outside the array on their own rail. Then create a good-looking TBD cover to shield the MLEs from direct sunlight, snow, etc. -- *Kirk Herander / **kirkh@vermont.solar <kirkh@vermont.solar>* *Owner|Principal, VT Solar, LLC* *Celebrating our 32st Anniversary 1991-2023!!* dba Vermont Solar Engineering 802.863.1202
