Evolution of the Quick connect [RE-wrenches]

I agree with Phil.  In the large majority of our installations, the backs 
of the arrays are widely visible if not accessible.  Any product that once 
again enables installers to easily clean up the wiring on the back side of 
an array without all the kludge of clips, loom clamps, cable ties, etc. is 
a product I would likely use, regardless of the accessibility issue on a 
given job.

There's already at least three separate sets of manufacturer products 
involved on a typical array design (panels, racks, and grounding 
apparatus).  The best thing would be for an existing supplier of array 
products to cleanly integrate this into their existing designs.   This 
would be much better than needing another 3rd party solution to tack on top 
of everything else.  It seems to me that the rack manufacturers would be 
the obvious choice to pick this up at present.  Sounds like something where 
Unirac or DP&W could really get a competitive advantage.
