I'm ordering the Jason's PV wire clips. Vinyl coated metal will outlast
any plastic sip, and they clip into the slot on the rails: much cleaner
than a zip tie all the way around the rail. It doesn't cure all our
wire management issues, but it looks like it will solve some of it. In
combination with the SS clips that secure wire to the module frames, and
Kirpal's vinyl coated SS cable ties, at least we have an array of
products that (theoretically) will last as long as the modules. I'd
still like to see William's dream of wires protected from the module to
the combiner.

Jason,
Can your wire management procedures equal the 20, 25, or 30 year
warranty your modules offer? I hope so, and I hope your client is
expecting the installation to last as long as the modules.
If the standardization is late in coming, establish your own best
practices. This forum offers a leg up on those folks who do not keep
current and similarly, those willing to do only what the status quo
requires.
Respectfully,

I know we've had this discussion before, but I wanted to again recommend
the WireClips from PV Racking. We are using them on Enphase trunk lines,
and find them to be great for this purpose. At $0.25 each, they are cost
effective.
