Chad: EJOT JZ3: http://www.ejot-usa.com/products/solar-fastening-systems/for-exposed-fastener-metal-roofs/jz3-for-steel-substructures Worked great for us on a steel over steel barn. One problem we had is the trusses were pre-drilled with too-large holes right where we wanted to fasten. We

[RE-wrenches] Canadian Solar / MC4 connectors in a marine environment

Hello, I am debugging a Florida ocean-side 35 kw array using 4 year old Canadian Solar panels, which I've never had a high opinion of, installed by others. I've discovered several not-so-good problems, such as low insulation resistance through the panels, ONLY when raining, early to

[RE-wrenches] Steel Trusses

Wrenches, Anyone out there have any experience attaching arrays (from the topside) to roofs with steel trusses under plywood decking? We¹ve got a new project that has steel trusses and we would prefer to not have to spend time in the attic bolting through (it was 113 degrees here today)Š Is

Re: [RE-wrenches] getting PV modules up to the roof

Benn, We have many different methods to get panels up to a roof, depending on the situation. I agree, mechanical lifts take a lot of time and resources to use, for typical residential installs. Getting panels up to a residential roof quickly, easily and safely is my biggest roof install

I'm still using the same mod lift for the past 6-8 years, with very minor modifications. I used the design that was in HomePower years ago. I switched out strut for pieces of our module rack/rail to make it lighter. Keep in mind that specific design only works with a fiberglass ladder with a

Re: [RE-wrenches] AC coupling with SolarEdge

Brian, Thanks, it came through perfectly! Am I correct to assume that the SE inverter will only respond to a PRI Port input signal to ramp output up and down and not a frequency shift? I'll have to check if there is someway to use that function with the XW. When I spoke with SolarEdge support,

[RE-wrenches] AC coupling with SolarEdge

Hi all, Apparently SolarEdge is no longer officially supporting or warranting AC Coupling - maybe because they now have the StorEdge option (has anyone actually seen one for sale and/or operating). In any case, since I have sold prior to missing that memo and am now in the position of installing a

Re: [RE-wrenches] getting PV modules up to the roof

Dana and August, I have used a patent pending prototype of a solar module lifting system that I like very much, complies with OSHA and solves all the lifting issues. I know the founder and he is looking for some feedback from installers to gain some industry traction while talking to potential
