We stopped our Zep experiment due to serviceability issues. Removing a panel is a huge hassle and many times you have to break/cut things to get it apart due to corrosion. It's not easy to put it back together, either. We had a bunch of Enphase M190's that needed replacements under Zep modules, and it was not fun. If you never have to move a module, perhaps it's a good option. As long as you get the first row gun barrel straight, everything lines up well and goes fast. The low profile makes wire management a bit of a task.
If we ever need a Zep framed CSI panel replacement in the future, finding one will undoubtedly be hard. The S-5-PV is great as long as you don't have a lot of Edge Grabs, which are a bit cumbersome to deal with at times. This system does not bond row to row, so you still need PV module grounding lugs on one panel in each row with a bare ground wire. Some of the newer grounding lugs make that task a bit easier, but it's still more difficult than one WEEB-LUG per row on a rail.
