[RE-wrenches] Array easily adjustable from 30 to 90 degrees

[Mac Lewis]

Hi Richard,

A relatively new pole mount racking manufacturer called MT Solar has a pole
mount that assembles on the ground and can tip to 90 degrees.  It is an
innovative mount but not yet refined.  It has a hand crank that one person
can adjust the array from the ground.  They can be found here:
http://www.polemount.solar/
It's not a perfect product, but its got a lot of very good characteristics
and it seems like they are improving it every day.  Much quicker lead time
than the other pole mount manufacturers as well.

I would call them and tell them what you are trying to do and see if its a
good fit.

Good Luck
