Not a lot of you guys in the field today 'eh? I was just checking a spec on my laptop and noticed i had a wireless signal and a mailbox full of great feedback, thanks again everyone!!! <div><br></div><div> I'll go over all the details from everyone a little more when i'm done on site for the day. For a few of you i just wanted to show you this link to the S-5-PV clamp, which is different from just the S-5! clamp > <a href="http://www.S-5.com/clamps/index_686.cfm">Click here to learn more.</a> < The S-5-PV does not need rails, the mod frames sit on the 'mounting disc' which can accommodate one or two modules. BUT, with the Enphase system, this leave no where to mount the inverters. Bill made a good point; save this mounting method for string inverter systems. </div><div>We are now planning this project using just the S-5 clamp/L-foot/rail system. No problems. </div><div><br></div><div>Back at 'er!<br><div>benn<br><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY

We have used these for years. They work better than wire ties, but
the rubber liner deteriorates over time, so install them as if there
is no rubber protection on the loom clamp. <br>

I just installed a system and used 3 different size loop clamps (
del city) which worked really well.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I used 3/8" for single wires, 3/4 for 2 wires and 1" for 3
and also for the connector, worked really well, made it all very
clean.</div>
<div>I attached them with SS tek screws into the rails.</div>
