Hi David, I agree with Todd - the lack of flange on any side or any other typical wire management method is a major pain. The modules are solid, but they are also thinner than typical, which also is the case with the 2.5 frames (which do have backside flanges along the long sides). The thinner frame caused a headache with vertical bolts used to attach optimizers behind the modules to the rails.
