Call your local paint supply, I use Sherwin Williams, they always seem to
have the answer for off the wall paint challenges.

Wrenches,

 

We have a high-end client for whom we are installing a 12 kWp system on an
essentially flat roof. The terrain slopes down from the street to the house
(and there is an additional 2.5 deg slope on the roof in the same
direction), hence making the array visible at some point away from the house
going towards the street. The client has asked us to paint the back
tilt-legs and rails of the array the same color as the PV module frames. The
reason being the legs and rails are clear anodized (ProSolar) and the
modules are black anodized (BP SX3200). We are talking about only the back
of one row, as the front of the row is so low as to be truly out of sight.

 

The question: what do we need to do to prep and paint the clear anodized
tilt legs and rails? I'm hoping that a quick TSP wash and rinse, followed by
a primer appropriate for Al, followed by a high quality exterior paint. Any
suggestions on primer and finish coat products? We want this to look good
and last a long time.

 

Thanks,

 

- Peter

Hi Todd,

 

I agree. I sure like what I've seen, but that is a large hole,

I wish they would address the question I asked about why they neglected to
include an amp hour meter that communicates with their charge controller on
a battery based system. The lack of an accurate metering system is one of
the biggest elephants in the room with this inverter/CC system.
