  Jerry,

  Are you familiar with "Panduit"? A friend suggested just this for a 
Unisolar install where the cables run down the roof ridge under the 
ridgecap, which is "legal" but kind of loosey-goosey looking.

  Panduit is available in Australia and maybe here, we're looking into it. 
Basically it's at plastic gutter-box with a snap-on-off lid that you can 
drill holes in anywhere you want for entry and exit points. I here it comes 
in long sticks like EMT or PVC. It sounds ideal for tidying-up MC cables.

  Wrenches,

  We will be intstalling a PV system on a parking shade
  structure at a new firehouse.  The array is to be
  mounted flat on steel C channel and will be 17' above
  the parking lot.  The general contractor doesn't want
  us to mount the modules on strut because it's not
  consistant with the design, which was done by another
  company.

  We will be using the holes on the backs of the module
  frames to mount to the steel structure.  The modules
  will be BP 3160's with mc quick connects and potted
  terminals - no jbox.  Does anyone know of a code
  violation for having our module interconnects exposed
  and not in conduit in this application?  If so, I'd
  appreciate ideas to remedy the situation.  I have a
  few, but welcome more.

  cheers,
