Why not just use 3/8" hardware in the rail channel to attach the junction box? Especially if your AHJ allows you to bury the junction box under a module, this works and looks great. Otherwise, just extend the rail outside the last module and attach the box there. I never saw the point of the bracket.

Sometimes I'll use the Enphase one because it comes with the Enphase whip (and therefore I save paying $2.75 on an extra L-bracket). However, I find the L-brackets to be sturdier and less visible.

This is a problem because the new ones are inferior for these reasons: 1. They do not have a hole adjacent to the back of a mounted box (to the best of our knowledge). This hole allows for the use of the back hub in a standard "bell" box. 2. They can not be mounted offset (to see the benefits and application browse to: http://millersolar.com/MillerSolar/practices/Technical_Procedures/micro- inverter_wiring/_micro-inverter-wiring.html 3. They do not accommodate one and two gang bell boxes. I'd like to buy a quantity of these brackets. A jpg depiction is attached. Does anyone have surplus? Does anyone else miss these enough to write Enphase and ask that they be reinstated into the catalog? Thanks in advance.
