[RE-wrenches] Mounting Enphase when using S-5-PV Clamps

just bear in mind that any adjustment of the module height, must be
performed by turning a jam nut under the S5-PV clamps mounting surface and
will need to be done from below using an open-end wrench! If the ribs are
pretty level that may not be such a chore. But I've seen some pretty unlevel
metal ribs on older roofs.
Carry along a 10-12 foot rail section for a straightedge to get the heights
on the money before you start to clamp modules.

  Not a lot of you guys in the field today 'eh?  I was just checking a spec
on my laptop and noticed i had a wireless signal and a mailbox full of great
feedback, thanks again everyone!!!


   I'll go over all the details from everyone a little more when i'm done on
site for the day.  For a few of you i just wanted to show you this link to
the S-5-PV clamp, which is different from just the S-5! clamp  > Click here
to learn more. <  The S-5-PV does not need rails, the mod frames sit on the
'mounting disc' which can accommodate one or two modules.  BUT, with the
Enphase system, this leave no where to mount the inverters.  Bill made a
good point; save this mounting method for string inverter systems.
  We are now planning this project using just the S-5 clamp/L-foot/rail
system.  No problems.


  Back at 'er!
