The ZEP groove frame really adds a bunch of aluminum around the whole module. I’m not sure the “X” modules in the CS6P line are 113 PSF, but it’s worth a look if you are seeking a rock solid frame. Since the attachment points are right at the frame perimeter, I would imagine that these test out very well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Jason Szumlanski<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Fafco Solar</span><span style="font-size:4.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:windowtext"> <a href="mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org</a> [mailto:re-wrenches-bounces@lists.re-wrenches.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jeff Clearwater<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 27, 2011 6:18 PM<br><b>To:</b> RE-wrenches<br><b>Subject:</b> [RE-wrenches] High PSF Mods?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hello Again Wise and Knowledgeable,<br><br>What's folks favorite modules for high psf ratings?
