[RE-wrenches] Wire Management WAS: Solar World Poly

[Bill Loesch]

Ray et al, 

I'm very curious how the Germans deal with the pigtail wires. Typically, their standards make ours pale by comparison. 
As solar becomes more mainstream, the trade solutions will follow. 

Unfortunate and disappointing that the race to the bottom is now also including heretofore premium quality manufacturers.

  The company that offers an innovative wire management solution for their modules will have their stock go up. (Hint Hint Solarworld).
  A few years ago we could run conduit module to module, looked great but that would be unreasonable on a large system today. However the "just let the wires fly, and the installer can figure out" design may be the current standard, but its not even close to being optimized.
  Its unbelievable all these bright engineers on the manufacturing side can't come up with something better.

    Unfortunately for all of us the PV industry has put little thought into proper wire management.  Standard appliances (such as air conditioning units) all accommodate standard trade size wiring hardware (conduit and fittings).  This is not the case with PV wiring.
