A while ago, I promised some photos for someone here, but I couldn't find the post! Here are some photos of my DIY solar setup using Sunmodo racking. The cast alloy polished brackets/connectors are beautiful, but maybe a bit overkill. Also, when you use the torque wrench on the set screws, make sure that you show your wife how to use the wrench! She stripped a few of the screws. My fault really, because I was a lousy foreman and teacher! The ground screws are a bit rough, but do the job. I'll need to spray some WD40 on the ground screw set screws. They are already a bit rusty, not that they would ever likely be taken apart. I'd likely use IronRidge next time, like my neighbor's array. IronRidge uses galvanized u-bolts. Pretty basic looking, but very functional. I could get similar u-bolts at NAPA. The fancy brackets/connectors from Sunmodo are a bit overkill, in my opinion.
