Benn just bear in mind that any adjustment of the module height, must be performed by turning a jam nut under the S5-PV clamps mounting surface and will need to be done from below using an open-end wrench! If the ribs are pretty level that may not be such a chore. But I've seen some pretty unlevel metal ribs on older roofs. Carry along a 10-12 foot rail section for a straightedge to get the heights on the money before you start to clamp modules.

I was just checking a spec on my laptop and noticed i had a wireless signal and a mailbox full of great feedback, thanks again everyone!!! I'll go over all the details from everyone a little more when i'm done on site for the day. For a few of you i just wanted to show you this link to the S-5-PV clamp, which is different from just the S-5! clamp > Click here to learn more. < The S-5-PV does not need rails, the mod frames sit on the 'mounting disc' which can accommodate one or two modules. BUT, with the Enphase system, this leave no where to mount the inverters. Bill made a good point; save this mounting method for string inverter systems. We are now planning this project using just the S-5 clamp/L-foot/rail system. No problems. Back at 'er! benn DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. [email protected] 780-906-7807 HAVE A SUNNY DAY
