All -
We attempted a couple of jobs with the S5! kit and no rails and lining everything up was tough. Pro Solar rail directly to the S5! clamps works great or Unirac with L feet even gives more installation flexibility. Sounds like almost all of the responses are along these same lines. -August *From:* re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] *On Behalf Of *Glenn Burt *Sent:* Monday, August 20, 2012 10:27 AM *To:* 'RE-wrenches' *Subject:* Re: [RE-wrenches] S5! question And if used with rails, helps with lowering module temperature (increasing distance from roof) as well as discouraging rodent nesting (again the further away from the roof deck the modules is, the less likely nesting is to occur) in my experience. -Glenn *From:* re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] *On Behalf Of *Jason Szumlanski *Sent:* Monday, August 20, 2012 11:27 AM *To:* RE-wrenches *Subject:* Re: [RE-wrenches] S5! question I agree - the regular S-5! clamps with L-Feet and rails adds a lot of flexibility. Plus, it is compatible with microinverter installations.

We have always used L-feet and rails mounted to the standard S-5 clamps since it creates a flat surface for the pv.
