[RE-wrenches] Shade for Inverters on a flat roof

[Allen Frishman]

Benn,
micro inverters are an option although there is no shade issues on this project so I would like to keep the inverter cost down.   What I mean by zero lot is that the building is connected to the buildings on both sides, there is no back yard space and the front wall is exposed to the street so hanging inverters on an outside wall is not an option.    Thanks for the feedback - I just might go with the micro inverters.

There is no bulk heads on this flat roof and it is a zero lot building so there is no exterior wall available to hang the inverters.   No space inside the building either so the roof is the only option.    Any suggestions?   I will be using a ballast racking system so the array will not provide any shade.
