Hiya Tom,
I've used them on half a dozen jobs so far. Love 'em! Just finishing  
a job with 165 150W modules. The only hole in the roof will be the  
home run.
You'll need an inch-pounds torque wrench to tighten them properly.  
They work best on standing vertical seam roofing. They will work on  
steep "^" seam roofing, but you have to crimp the Vees beforehand. I  
assume you mean combiner rather than J-boxes? A piece of AL or strut  
between two clips works good for that. There MIGHT be room under the  
modules for that depending on the PV mount but why? Take a module off  
for access? No good. If you are using series fusing, it would be a no- 
no anyway. If you are using a combiner box such as the ones that  
Energy Outfitters makes, they bolt to your power rail so no other  
mounting is necessary. Mo betta.
Sometimes the client doesn't get quite what they think they want.
Good Luck, Bob-O
