Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
Would anodizing the aluminum offer any benefit to you ?<br>
<br>
One of the non-traditional solar mount suppliers offered just such
a galvanized product and even sent out samples of their product. I
put my sample outside to see what kind of performance it did
offer. Probably something on the order of a year later, I called
to inquire what profiles they offered. It was no longer a current
product. I interpret this as another example of the marketing
driven nature of business today. You may be aware that the label
on Home Despot shelves tracks (among other things) how many of
_that_ item was sold from that store location that month, when the
total is zero for three months running the item is dropped. It is
a profitable way to optimize shelf space, it is also one major
reason why my _local_ supply house gets my business and HD is my
supplier of last resort.<br>
<br>
Enjoy the weekend,<br>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">My question is two fold. Are folks
using galvanized or hot dipped galvanized in any way, shape or
form out there for their mounting systems? I feel like I need
to know this as we only use aluminum because our climate is so
wet. Yet we are in a situation where using galvanized might
be the best and only options, although we am not seeing
anything with galvanized that is readily out there either.</div>
