Misc Parts from Home Depot:
- 20X 3/8″ Bolt with flat washer and lock nut (used to attach rails to L foot)
- 20ft 10AWG Solid Copper wire
- 25FT THHN 10AWG Green Wire (ground from rails to inverter, per city code)
- 10 Solid Copper 6-14AWG grounding lugs (2 per package)
- 2 tubes Roof cement/glue
I was able to get sales/deals on almost everything listed. For instance, my inverter only cost me $600 on a bid, so I saved $400 there.
