[RE-wrenches] New pole mount with wire management built in.

[bob ellison]

I saw a new pole mount rack at the MREA that has built in enclosed wire
channels.

It is very sturdy, heavy and does not use the panels as a structural member.
It is stiff without the panels help.

I think the company that builds it is operated by a NABCEP installer

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.
