Jason, Will you be doing a direct mount to S-5!, or will you use rails?
If using rails, there should be no significant difference from using ACPV on a shingle roof with rails. If doing a direct mount, I imagine it would be a lot like using ACPV with Smart Mount, which attaches directly to the roof decking. Wire management is the main challenge; with both Smart Mount and S-5! direct mount, you have very little clearance below the modules. The receptacle is designed to mount below the frame of the modules, and you will have little clearance to pull out any remaining slack. Additionally, you will need to make sure that the receptacle brackets to not conflict with any seams. It's been a while since I've done an S-5! direct mount, but I seem to recall having less than an inch between the bottom of a module frame and the top of the seam; this will not be enough to support the receptacle. You may need to plan the module placement very carefully to avoid this issue. Please contact me off line at [email protected] if you want to talk about your specific application and how to make it work.
