Hi Folks, Responding to the best way to protect wires on a Multi-Pole Mount, we used galvanized 7/8” Unistrut attached to the bottom side of rack horizontally and top module to bottom module vertically for series connections between modules. The horizontal strut had the side benefit of

Another approach that customers have opted for is to build a carport or outbuilding. The money spent toward a rack can be used to make the array location a multi use area. At 07:34 PM 12/20/2012, you wrote: Hi mark I'm wondering what the height or other requirements your AHJ is requiring?

James: We have put up a few of the MPM mounts and we too spent a lot of time assembling. This was due to unfamiliarity and will not be an issue in the future, making this rack a viable option for us. The foundations required were substantial and expensive. I am hoping that a system will
