<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I would echo August's comment about the rail alignment. The module mounting holes allow for a bit of wiggle room, enough to square up any off-kilter modules but not enough to make up for misaligned/non-parallel rails.

<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">As you pointed out wire management is simplified with their rails. Wires running perpendicular to the rails can be accommodated by removing one or more of the rubber bumpers to create a gap between the module and rail. We have also used suction cups to assist in lifting these modules to the roof - at 60 pounds apiece they are noticeably heavier that most of other modules we deal with.</div>

Hi Chris,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We have a complex 86 kW commercial job with Lumos 250s we?ve just kicked<br>
off. We have not installed them yet so I can?t offer a whole lot of advice<br>
except that the module leads won?t reach each other in landscape<br>
orientation so I?d recommend a standard portrait layout. The rails also<br>
need to line up perfectly since the modules mount with the four<br>
through-holes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We will be landing our panels in about 3 weeks so I should know more then,<br>
feel free to ping me if you haven?t made your decision yet.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
August<br>
