Module wiring safety [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

Oh, so what I thought was a wire gutter were 2 X 4's... but if they are 
removed after the installation what supports the center of the modules? 
Surely top and bottom mounts would leave the center of the panel subject 
to excessive flexing under heavy snow loading? Also the end supports 
look like some propriority integrated connection that would only work 
with that specific module design.
