HI guys,
Hate to tell you but someone with a 24v cordless sawzall can have a rack

Jay,
You are so right but the tool of choice these days for the sophisticated thief
is the cordless angle grinder and a stack of cutting discs from Harbor Freight.
There has been a flurry of this tools use here of late. Deadbolts, padlocks,
racks, even safes are dispatched in short order. There
HI Nathan,
Ill have to try it myself, the cutting disks that is.
But in the end I guess its what insurance is for.
On that note, has anyone had any requests or reduction in policy from an
insurance company about anti theft hardware?

Jay,
I am broadcasting from the Ozark mountains of MO. We have long been known as a
prime pot growing mecca. Those guys were a relatively peacable and mellow lot.
We are now the meth manufacturing capital of the US, as ranked by number of
busts. These guys and their addicted customers are both
The sad truth is that if a determined, competent thief wants your stuff, it's
likely gone. Fortunately, MOST thieves are neither.
I use 1/4 stainless steel pop rivets in a situation like this. It takes a
grinder to remove them and steal the PV. With a little luck someone will see
the sparks
Hello, we mounted some PV onesy modules as high as we could reach without a
man-lift, but an enterprising thief could reach just as high. The side of
pole mounts hold the bolt heads captive so I bought some aluminum
breakaway nuts. However the nuts have a big diameter which would not fit

Solar World welds their frame corners, but use a laser with high precision
and very low heat. I have seen racks in Haiti welded instead of bolted to
keep people from walking off with the entire rack. I would not recommend
welding a module frame, Too risky and would probably void warranty.
From the bit of aluminum welding I've done (MIG not the preferred TIG) I'd say
it would be pretty hard to do without damaging the laminate.
I actually successfully welded attachments to salvage modules back in the 90s.
Also the alloys are probably different between the module and rail, so even if

Mick,
Direct Power did this some years ago on a piece of Interstate roadside art.
I think it worked quite well to discourage theft. You might want to call
DPW for info; I'd talk with Jeff.
