<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Have you looked at CreoTec? I personally like the
Ironridge racking system much better than ProSolar or Unirac. I've seen plenty
of demos with Creotec but haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Looks very
cool though and has some rave reviews.</FONT></DIV>

& jigs for installing or removingmodules?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Single-handed mounting for replacing or installing modules
on racks. My helper installing an array on an Iron Ridge rack commented (like
so many of you have surely thought) that the mid-clamps are really clumsy. His
suggestion was that on his, he would lengthen the rail and only use end clamps
so each module would be independently mounted, removed or the Enphase
replaced. Of course this would apply to UniRack and other mid-clamps too. Can
anyone recommend a jig for supporting the line of modules, while they are
individually being clamped or unclamped? Perhaps a long length of Al angle
braced back to the rail, so the bottoms of the modules can sit in a straight
line while they are being clamped. Even a couple sliding Z-shaped spring hooks
that can support the bottoms might work one module at a time as long as the
rail is s<o:p></o:p></P>
