Attaching SMA inverter to PV mounting pole [RE-wrenches]

[Jim Duncan]

I have found a large selection of U Bolts sized specifically for tower 
and antenna applicationa at Hutton Communications. The sizes are large 
enough to fit 8 inch schedule 80 tracker pipe. Those are galv plated and 
come with flat and lock washer and nuts. There are a variety of SS  ones 
to choose from. 
Valmont and NRG also have a large selection of U bolts and outdoor rated 
attachment items.

 I am looking for an elegant way to attach an SMA inverter to a PV 
mounting pole. The combiner box and the DC disconnect will probably also 
be on the pole. Heretofore, we have used shallow Uni-Strut and a 
threaded rod bent into a U-shape around the pole and attached together 
with nuts and washers. It's OK, but I am looking for other options that 
may include a panel (large enough for the inverter, combiner, and DC 
disconnect) and strapping--something that does not look so industrial. 
The advantage of our current method is that it is VERY stout.
