I'd be very nervous about how much deflection you could see at the corners in high winds.  If the frame twists enough you could have modules break, or gaps between modules open up enough to lose the midclips and let modules loose.  I would take a look at MT Solar's multi-pole system, that starts really locking things in as you go big.  I've never worked on a single pole mount bigger than 16 modules that I felt good about.

    Hi folks, Messed up on the first try. Here's the pic.

    This mounting system looks pretty efficient--48 modules on a
    single pole. Does anyone have an idea as to the manufacturer or
    experience with the racking? The photo was unattributed.

    regards, bill
