<p>Many times when we get close to the end of a 'rail run',
mounting PVs, when the rail's end is still far enough away from
the second or third from the last PV, we will measure exactly
where the outside edge of the last PV will land. We then undo 1
or 2 of the bolts attached to feet, pull the rail away from the
roof a few inches and cut it there with a 6" cordless 'skilsaw'
(clean cut and very little vibration using carbide blade) .
Because we use PLP P8 rail (formerly DPW) we re-bolt rail to
feet and secure the very last PV's edge with their back of
frame flange clamp, P/N P8-ECU. All this ends up either flush
with or inside the end of the rail/PV edge.</p>
<p> Does painting new or anodized aluminum qualify for
the tail-light warranty?<br>

<p>A customer has asked that I look into painting the exposed
parts of the anodized rails on their roof mounted system to more
closely match the shingles. (New construction, we did not know
what the shingle color was going to be, and I have to say, I did
not ask). Has anyone any experience with this? Thank you for
any help. Chris<br>
