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.

That said, wire management is often a matter of strong opinion, and we are
far from standardization and an accepted set of best practices.
