Wrenches:
Consider the vector forces <https://www.ropebook.com/information/vector-forces/>, even with just the weight of the wire itself. Suspended leads are going to strain the connection points. I suggest this approach is not a good solution.

We just added these to our product offerings. I reviewed the QCell installation manual for this product and there doesn't seem to be any guidance on the subject. Are the DC leads tight enough when connected to the microinverter that they would not sag enough to touch the roof, or is the tape the only thing preventing the leads from touching the roof?

The module is the half cut cell type with the DC leads coming from either side of the middle of the module. The modules come with the wires taped to the back of the module. If you remove that tape, there appears to be almost no way to properly manage those wires. Is that tape meant to just keep the wire on the back of the module forever? Would that even last more than a year? I am curious what other people have done for these if they have used them or something similar. Maybe if you get the rail in the right spot, the wires will just sit on the rail... I realize that we have had a thread on wire management with half cut cell modules before, but this is a little different, as I am specifically asking about that tape and if anyone knows if it holds up over time.
