[RE-wrenches] Hurricane damage to solar arrays

[Chris Mason]

Most of mine survived Irma in Anguilla. The utility ground mount is totally
trashed. Our ground mount lost four modules.

We lost an array last year in Haiti to a Hurricane, but it all comes down
to mounting, racking, and debris flying into the array.   We determined our
rack which used the Schletter pipe clamps (pinch bolts) had pulled off the
mounting pipes.  We through bolted the clamps so they couldn't pull off
again, and went to triple rails.  I think racking in Miami done to
hurricane codes is probably not going to make the news.

Aloha Everyone,
I was just wondering how all the PV arrays did during these storms?
Does Florida have higher pull out values and wind designs for their PV/H20
systems?
Is there any thing the rest of us could learn from all this?
Photos?
Mahalo Nui Loa,
