[RE-wrenches] High snow load on PV Modules

[Dave Click]

SolarWorld modules are 5400pa-rated too, but that's "only" 113 psf, 
right? These might be OK if you do a full clamp along the long sides of 
the modules (for SolarWorld at least, the 5400pa rating was determined 
per IEC 61215, while supporting only the short sides), but it's 
obviously not without risk.
