[QUOTE="JonboyP, post: 528210, member: 35105"] Mounting questions: My panels will be landscape to fit my roof shape. Can I run the rails ‘landscape’ too or do I have to put the rails running vertically using 90-degree brackets on the hooks? If so, why is that? Spacing for roof hooks – is there a defined standard? Does it depend on which mounting system you use? What would people recommend? My panels are 1722 x 1134mm. Clamping point seems to be ¼ distance from each end of the long edge, seems sensible to me – have I got that right? Rails seem to come in standard lengths, I assume you can just cut them down with a hacksaw to the required length so as not to leave any excesses on show? I know to keep at least 300mm from the edges, and max height above roof surface is 200mm. Anything else I need to be wary of? Getting the last cable through the roof and into the loft so I can run it down to where the hybrid inverter will be – any tips on this? Thanks Jon [/QUOTE]
