<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>I have read a couple of things, including the
Sharp 142 and 72 L&R module spec sheets, that imply they should be mounted
only on their SRS racking system. I can see how the triangular mods would
be a lot easier to mount using the N & S edges instead of the
angled sides with traditional end clamps. In fact, after taking their SRS
training at the SunWize dealer conference last year, I was pretty impressed with
the relative ease though the quantity of necessary parts seemed a potential
problem. (We overlooked the fact that their whiz-bang, made in Germany,
not-for-sale-here, $700 stud-finder would not work.)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>What bugs me though is the low profile
nature of the SRS. The lack of air circulation under the array is a real issue
and ignores a genuine necessity in this, and other, hot climates.
</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>I have tried to brainstorm some way to
clamp on the tapered edges that will not compromise the wind lift resistance of
the 42's to allow traditional railing using standoffs. I did come up with a
simple fix by modifying a Unirac clamp </STRONG></FONT><A

face=Verdana><STRONG> but that would probably void any
engineering support from those folks.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana><STRONG>Does anyone have a well engineered workaround to
offer as far as clamping on the angled sides? </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
