[RE-wrenches] Square D Disconnects mounted on the slope of the roof.

[Ray Walters]

We've made up mounting brackets with unistrut for this purpose as well.  
We just bend their regular 45 deg angle brackets to match the roof 
tilt.  It's a bit of work though, so we are going to other solutions 
like the Soladek, or just putting the combiner box in a different location.
