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 inside the Kyocera PV frames.
Has anyone tried spot welding the PV frames direct to the aluminum rails to which they are mounted? Would this over stress the glass laminate or cause other problems? I realize this would void the Kyo warranty but nothing voids system performance like a stolen PV module. Happy Friday, Mick Abraham, Proprietor www.abrahamsolar.com Voice: 970-731-4675
