Ground-Mount Optimizer Installation
I have been following your installation progress with much interest, as I am putting together my drawing package & budget spreadsheet for a similar ground-mount array. I noticed on one of your photos ( #7 ) from your 3/29/15 post, that the optimizers are installed in the side-slot of the IronRidge rail, parallel to the plane of the solar panel. The product description of the P300 optimizer shows a mechanical mounting slot on the optimizer that facilitates mounting flush with the rail, but perpendicular to the panel. Did the installer use a right-angle T-bolt to attach it, or does SolarEdge offer an adapter to allow for that manner of attachment? BTW, if it is convenient, I would appreciate a PM from you, regarding your installer, as I am still on the fence about a self-install vs. contract job.
