[RE-wrenches] 10 Degree Ballast Racking--Recommendations

[Orion Thornton]

Thanks Glenn,



In quick glance it appears that the RayPort system does not integrate wind
deflectors and it looks like more ballast blocks are required, of course
the required ballast will be based on the specific site parameters, but in
general have you seen the PSF of the RayPort system being a little higher
in comparison to other systems?

We have been using the AET RayPort on the last few jobs. Much like the
RapidRac in design, but made of stainless steel.

Goes together quickly. Looks good, easy grounding. Slight drawback is
walkability between rows is a little more tricky.

YMMV

Hi Wrenches,



I was hoping to get a little feedback on what folks are installing and what
they prefer for 10° tilt—fully ballasted racking systems.  So far we have
worked with SunPower T10, Unirac RapidRac, and PanelClaw.  There has been
positive feedback from our installation for the PanelClaw system and
SunPower T10, but I would be curious to know some other good options,
taking into consideration design support, ease of installation, and
grounding integration.



Thanks in advance for any insights.
