[RE-wrenches] Wire management with S5! Railless System

In the past I determined that anything above a 4 pitch on standing seam roofs would require rails.  Just too difficult otherwise.  I would recommend the use of rails all the time however on larger systems, there can be significant added cost.  Because the seams don't align as a perfect

We have found that the SnapNrack rails and using the SnapNrack Wide Base Seam Clamp w/L-Foot, 242-05151 is priced right and has fewer hassles then the older S5s. Wire management also has been addressed by SnapNrack > On Jan 11, 2018, at 3:45 PM, August Goers wrote: > >

Ray - I agree with the others that S5 clamps with rails is the way to go on standing seam roofs. We buy our S5 clamps through LMCurbs and I've found their pricing and service to be good: http://www.lmcurbs.com/ We go though a good deal of effort to determine the exact standing seam make/model and

Add my voice to the “never without rails” chorus. 1) S-5 clamps are only as good as the standing seam they are on. At least rails spread out the stresses and avoid large point loads. 2) Ice likes to slide. Rails give some height above that. 3) Rail height gives better ventilation and hot

I would use rails with the s-5, gives you something to attach wires to. Michael D Nelson MD Electric & Solar, Inc. 707-684-0064 mobile 707-884-1862 office www.mdelectricsolar.com www.facebook.com/mdelectricandsolar > On Jan 10, 2018, at 9:18 PM, Ray wrote: > > Hi All; > >

Hi Ray Here are a ton of newer clips that carry 2-many wires, in different configurations, straight, 90 degree etc Most in SS some now in synthetic. And yea it’s kind of a pain with that type racking. Talk to Bryan at PV cables, he stocks lots of them. 707-923-3000 Jay Peltz power > On

Wire management on railess systems is a challenge. In the past I have tried to do as much of the wire management as possible before laying the panels by zip tying the leads to the side of panels and strategizing string routes. Also used flat trays like this for home runs:

Ray: After you find clips that make you happy, order more of them to mount your preferred raceway to the roof and dress your leads in it. We like strut with closure strips. You may have clearance issues fitting raceway if the panels are too close to the roof. You could remedy that by using

Hi All; I was wondering what folks were doing these days for wire management on Standing seam roofs with the S5! clamps and no rails. I'm at a loss (once again) for how to secure the home runs without a rail.  I have some of those module edge clips, but those only hold one wire, and I've had
