Just finished one. . . Direct Power recommended drilling and bolting directly to the aluminum rails--easy and solid. Although, I was not happy about all the wire management that went into it though. Sure would be nice if somebody came along and made some integrated wire raceways!!!
It was amazing how many blank stares I got from racking manus at SPI, when I asked them if they had any in the works. Most just kept pointing to their wire clips and pretended not to know about the NEC requirements.

Todd On Wednesday, October 20, 2010 8:06am, "benn kilburn" <[email protected]> said: Mornin, I'm looking at mounting an Enphase M190 system on a standing seam metal roof and was considering using the S-5-PV clamps (as opposed to just the S-5's and L-feet), which do not use any mounting rails. No rails means no where to properly mount the M190's!?! It was suggested to mount the M190's to each module frame using a fashioned L-bracket, makes sense, but this would require drilling holes in the module frame, and wouldn't that void the module warranty? Also, am i the only one who is wondering if hanging a 4.4 pound inverter off of the module frame will potentially cause some sagging/deformation of the frame over the life of the system? Is this how those "andalay" modules support their inverters? thanks, benn DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. [email protected] 780-906-7807 HAVE A SUNNY DAY Sent from Finest Planet WebMail.
