will eat away the anodization quickly and efficiently, and simply wash off into
??. Are you anticipating dunking the legs, rails into a tub or
tray?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";

to your painted legs/rails and really want to match the BP modules or does it
just have to be black with a similar gloss/shine? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";
color:navy'>I would ask the client to pony up for powder-coated process/finish
for the various leg/rail/hardware pieces. What about the back of
the modules, aren't they white? Is the client aware of
this? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";

all? If so, what's the color of the walls and/or parapet

at all?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>We have a high-end client for whom
we are installing a 12 kWp system on an essentially flat roof. The terrain
slopes down from the street to the house (and there is an additional 2.5 deg
slope on the roof in the same direction), hence making the array visible at
some point away from the house going towards the street. The client has asked
us to paint the back tilt-legs and rails of the array the same color as the PV
module frames. The reason being the legs and rails are clear anodized
(ProSolar) and the modules are black anodized (BP SX3200). We are talking about
only the back of one row, as the front of the row is so low as to be truly out
of sight.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The question: what do we need to
do to prep and paint the clear anodized tilt legs and rails? I’m hoping that
a quick TSP wash and rinse, followed by a primer appropriate for Al, followed
by a high quality exterior paint. Any suggestions on primer and finish coat
products? We want this to look good and last a long time.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

wish they would address the question I asked about why they neglected to
include an amp hour meter that communicates with their charge controller on a
