Is anyone else currently planning what racking and modules they will be
using to meet these requirements? I’ve been trying to get my head around
this for a while now and I’m having a hard time finding substantial
information from both racking and module manufacturers.

and just “add on” without taking anything existing apart. There is also a
BP-MMP which only fits the Magnum mini panel and will not add on to the
BP-S. If you look on the website you will see the difference in the
mounting flange around the edge between the two backplates.

dual backplate (BP-D) or can I butt another single backplate against the
older one?  I plan on using a MPXS-30D-R extension box.
