[RE-wrenches] Cable Ties

[William Miller]

Michael:



I recommend avoiding cables ties behind PV panels, either roof or ground
mount.  With the proper racking and technique none should be required.  See

This panel will lay down without any cable sag or need to reach under to
apply cable ties.  We call this the hinge technique—all cables are lead to
a hinge point with just the right amount of slack to allow pinch and sag
free installation.

Wrenches,

Who makes the best cable ties, and which part number for under PV wire
management? I keep going back to past projects where I used quality
high-heat resistant UV rated Panduit and Burndy ties that became brittle.

Thanks,

Michael
