Hi William (and any other person who wishes to describe themselves as
professional (designer, installer, etc.)),
Please accept this note as confirmation that your evangelism on wire
management has not fallen on entirely deaf ears.
Additionally, I'm curious how the practice of requiring a

Two things: For the rest of us (maybe it's just me?!) that's still
trying to figure out how (or why) to stuff a MC4 connector into conduit and my
hesitation in using SS wire ties for fear of the sharp edges cutting or
chaffing into cables, I'm open

I’m not sure whether Hellermann Tyton is related to Heyco, but I know of
the SunBundler product through Heyco:

Where are you buying them from? I am so ready to move away from plastic
zip ties. 59 cents is quite a bit, but that's actually doable. Last
time I looked at SS ties, they were a couple bucks each.
Thanks,

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
Anyone know a supplier/manufacturer of the T-bolts that come with Unirac
mid-clamps?

William,
I know your long-time stance on conduit. It has its place. This report was
about an integrated PV system that caught fire because of a module
failure-this was not a cable management issue. We can all jump on our
respective soap boxes and pontificate-I have no problem with that.

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

Jason,
Can your wire management procedures equal the 20, 25, or 30 year
warranty your modules offer? I hope
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
I definitely think cable tray is a good compromise between conduit and
loose zip tie wiring; I primarily question rodent protection.
Even cable trays can go horribly wrong: I've seen them not supported
properly and bend or even fall over spilling cables onto the roof or ground.

I just started using Nine Fasteners, Inc www.ninefasteners.com . 410
stainless wire management clips. Got turned on to them at SPI this year.
They are awesome, same basic clip concept except they add a nice rounding
along the edges that keeps it from cutting into the wire. A step above
Hi Bill,

Less expensive and no minimum order
