[RE-wrenches] Lumos LSX250 modules

[Solar]

Silicon energy has a similar product. I've used the suction cup with their product. The one thing I head about the lumos module is to be careful when bolting the module down. A friend of mine cracked one when he tightened it down. He said lumos was good on replacing the broken one by just charging cost for a replacement.

I'm sure you've already researched this and I certainly see where you're coming from concerning the snow's effect on PV frames but is too much strength lost being frameless?  Their data sheet says the "static load is 50 psf, pretty low for snow country, on the other hand would snow stay on the array?...it looks like an ice skating rink when installed.  Maybe get a look-see at Intersolar. You've got me curious also.
