capable of supporting 290 lbs (132kg) plus an effective safety margin. Structural integrity of the strut structure is 
the responsibility of the installer. Space the inverters no closer than shown in Figure 3-2 for thermal exhaust and 
wiring clearance. Keep this area free from debris, vegetation, and other obstructions.
