The module is the half cut cell type with the DC leads coming from either side of the middle of the module. The modules come with the wires taped to the back of the module. If you remove that tape, there appears to be almost no way to properly manage those wires. Is that tape meant to just keep the wire on the back of the module forever? Would that even last more than a year? I am curious what other people have done for these if they have used them or something similar. Maybe if you get the rail in the right spot, the wires will just sit on the rail...<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I realize that we have had a thread on wire management with half cut cell modules before, but this is a little different, as I am specifically asking about that tape and if anyone knows if it holds up over time.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers, <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Dave<br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=525 style='width:393.75pt;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px'><tr><td width=125 rowspan=2 valign=top style='width:93.75pt;border:none;border-right:solid #ECBD00 1.0pt;padding:0in 7.5pt 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.sungineersolar.com/" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#337AB7;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=105 height=103 style='width:1.0937in;height:1.0729in' id="_x0000_i1025" src="https://sungineersolar.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Logo-Image-Only-1.png" alt=Logo></span></a><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 7.5pt'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style='border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0px'><tr><td width=400 valign=top style='width:300.0pt;padding:0in 0in 3.75pt 7.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#ECBD00'>Dave Tedeyan, P.E.<br>Owner | Sungineer Solar</span></b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr><tr><td valign=top style='padding:3.75pt 0in 3.75pt 7.5pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:12.75pt'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#ECBD00'>p: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>he | him | his</span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#ECBD00'><br>a: </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>1653 Slaterville Rd.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'> <span style='color:black'>| Ithaca, NY 14850</span><br><b><span style='color:#ECBD00'>w:</span></b><a href="http://www.sungineersolar.com/" target="_blank"><span style='color:black'> www.sungineersolar.com</span></a><br><b><span style='color:#ECBD00'>c:</span></b><span style='color:black'> (607) 288-2898</span><o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'></td></tr></table></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>_______________________________________________<br>List sponsored by Redwood Alliance<br><br>Pay optional member dues here: <a href="http://re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://re-wrenches.org</a><br><br>List Address: <a href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br><br>Change listserver email address & settings:<br><a href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br><br>There are two list archives for searching.
