Sorry, I sent that last email too soon by accident…. Yes, I’ve installed a few of these Nuance Osprey racks…. With much less than satisfactory experiences. The rack tables themselves go together fairly well, however the cable anchor system, while seemingly slick, left much to be desired in my

Two that I've looked at but never used - I like the use of rock on the second one.  We quoted it for a job at one point and the price was quite reasonable. https://solarmounts.com/ballasted-ground-mount/ https://www.readyracksolar.com/ Hope that helps! Jeff Mac Lewis
