new standing seam metal roof- clamp to ribs/ rib height question

Hi all, we are looking to install a standing seam metal roof. Our roofer has recommended upgrading and getting 1 3/4 inch high ribs instead of standard 1 inch ribs. They will be 16 inches apart. He says the 1 3/4 inch ribs will allow for clamping solar panels right to the ribs without drilling, but the 1 inch will not. Of course, they are a lot more expensive, maybe 30% more, just for higher ribs. Will this really make installing panels easier? If it matters, the metal roofing is design span hp by asc building supply. Thanks!

GAEA Research demonstrates their new energy technology called RSET. It sets the benchmark in high density, clean energy generation. Chief Scientist, Nigel C. Cheese, states the device collects Background Stellar Radiation via a RPP (Radiant Power Panel) offering compatibility to traditional devices.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
