We use either SunPower InvisiMount or IronRidge with the CAMO hidden end clamp. Both need flush cuts to the module. In either case, we lay the last module in place and carefully scribe the cut line flush with the module, lift the module and cut with a Milwaukee bandsaw. If you cut before you place the last module, you can have full access for the cut even with a circular saw.
