I took a U-tube flight in a copter and a couple U-tube car rides in the
Keys yesterday. Pretty hard for me not to believe that if your number was
up, it did not matter how much effort was put into the installation for
above average quality. There were a few solar installations on houses up

I can't rule out loose hardware, but most of the modules that were plucked
show evidence of significant bulging from wind uplift. We use impacts, but
go back over them after installation is complete because things can shift
around and loosen hardware.
Small tornadoes, high gusts, and even Venturi
Is it possible there may have been loose mounting hardware here and
there? I've found quite a few loose clamps over the years on many
different systems from myself and reputable dealers. I've found that
using a impact driver really causes trouble; I now hand tighten
everything. Many of the t
I generally agree on all points. I'd love to use three rails on all
systems, but there is an economic factor, and as Tom mentions, a third rail
doesn't necessarily stop glass being sucked out or a tree landing on the
array. At what point do we cease over-engineering the mounting structure

Hurricanes wind create both suction up lift and direct pressure against the
glass frame wall of the module -- if a module is to be held securely it
must be attached 1/3 or 1/4 of the way from top to bottom by each of the
two rails . If modules are facing due South and the wind force comes from
