<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Good point, Jason. <br>
<br>
I like Snap N Rack's products, but when I tried to order equipment
(no distributors carry their stuff in Colorado) they never
returned my calls or emails. I'd certainly be wary of their
future support, if they won't even return calls for sales.<br>
Frankly I'm going to start calling out ALL manufacturers that
don't back their product, or otherwise don't treat us RE Wrenches
with respect from here on out. <br>
Manufacturers' reps on this list be forewarned. <br>
I'm getting too old, and worked to hard in this industry to pull
punches now, and I don't think I'm doing my fellow wrenches any
service covering up for the manufacturers' mistakes any more
either.<br>

curious if these vertical integrators will still make their
acquired brands available to small dealers through
distribution. When SolarCity snatched up Zep, I had concerns
about being able to service or add onto existing Zep systems
we installed. That's definitely a concern going forward, and
reason to perhaps stick with the most compatible racking
solutions available. We used IronRidge for a while, which is
largely compatible with Unirac, but now we're back on the
Unirac bandwagon. </font></div>

<div>I am curious about the mid clamps on
the snapnrack. The flange that rests on
top of the solar panel frame is so small ~
3/16". Anyone experience any problems
with these failing in a big storm? With
solar panel frames not being square it is
nice to have a little extra to grab - I am
always curious as to why these clips are
made with such a small area to hold the
panels down.
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>All feedback on these clips is
appreciated.<br>
