Just wondering what people are using to attach optimisers to rails? Does anyone has a specialist supplier of decent M8 screws?

Screwfix !! M8 stainless bolts, washers and nylocks

Or, if you use the K2 mounting system, they do an M8 T-bolt and flange nut so the optimizers can be bolted to the channel in the underside of the rail

Installed our first one of these today, I was expecting an ethernet port inside the inverter but unfortunately not. Wired in the cables but the instructions were in black and white so have them mixed around, back on Friday it seems. Why not just have an ethernet port inside the inverter I do not know.

I've done exactly the same thing. Utterly ridiculous to have a colour dependant diagram in a black and white manual.
