We've done lots of systems both ways - using rails such as Unirac
solarmount or ProSolar is definately more forgiving compared to
mounting directly on the seams. The adjustability of the Unirac
L-foot is particularly nice. If you mount directly to the seams you
need to mount in landscape orientation and alignment can be tricky.
You still need to ground your array, however. Were you planning on
using weebs?

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Seam clamps with or w/o rails
Hello Wrenches,
We have a system to install on a roof with standing seams, and are
planning to use S-5 clamps. The current plan is to use Solarmount
rails. This seemed to be a good solution for grounding, rather than
putting lugs on every module, and also would allow better air
circulation under the array.
Would you agree with this concept, or would you recommend connecting
the modules straight to the seam clamps? Are there any down sides
to using the rails with the S-5s?
Thanks,
Drake
