@@marcustaylor3943 I also typed a response to your other comment. But yes, we offer mounting solutions that accommodate module-level power electronics. Visit our website at S-5.com, or you can reach out to support@S-5.com for help finding the right mounting solution for microinverters and optimizers. If you send me an email at kim@S-5.com, I can send you over a few photos showing examples of these BOS mounted. Thanks for watching!
@@marcustaylor3943 Typically they would be mounted to the module frame prior to installation of the module. In some cases micro-inverters can be attached directly to the roof with a clamp or bracket.
@@marcustaylor3943 I would like to send you pictures on mounting process but it won't allow them in here. Can you email me jhaddock@s-5.com and I will give you the info you need.
I've got a trapezoidal roof like shown at 0:26+, not the ridge shown later. Specifically, what hardware combination do I need? I see the bottom bracket here www.ecodirect.com/S-5-RibBracket-III-Bracket-Mount-for-metal-roof-p/s-5-ribbracket-3.htm, but what about the top part and prices? What is special about the "protea bracket?" Also, is the whitish goo caulking and for what purpose? THANKS!
You’ll want to use a grounding lug on each section of bonded sub-array or array. Our PVKIT will bond each column of modules, and by using a bonding jumper (or similar) to bond column to column, the entire sub-array will be bonded. Then, a grounding lug can be used to run a copper wire to ground. The grounding lug can attach to a module frame or a PVKIT disk. Grounding lugs, bonding jumpers, and other useful solar hardware can be found on the hardware section of our website (www.s-5.com/hardware), and can be purchased through our distributors.
