EG4 BrightMount with 4 x 44.6inch wide panels?

[y0bailey]

I'm looking to add a small ground mount array using the EG4 BrightMount, but I want to pack as much power as possible in the limited space so several of the high power panels I'm researching are a bit over 44inches. The manual states 44inches width max.

Does anyone have an experience with the slightly wider 44.6inch panels on the EG4 BrightMount?

I just so happened to be walking around yard and saw this, here's ACTUAL measurements from mine:

Rails are 179.5" (? Looks like SS must use 180")
Midclamps (x3) are 0.75"
End clamps (x2) are 0.875"

This says panels 4 x 43.875" are dead on.
(179.5 minus 4 inches of clamps = 175.5 divided by 4 panels)
For reference, my panels are 39.6"..

If you are handy, you could probably slide bar stock in the end for extensions for the end clamps to fasten to, but would be wise to connect separate frame grounds on the end panels..

Awesome thank you. Looks like it won't work without modification and I need to leave it at 44inches a panel or under unless I'm feeling creative.

Hugely appreciate it!

Since it appears most people are going with the higher wattage (read wider) panels I wonder if SigSolar is considering any changes as beyond the width limitation this looks sweet.
