Are you talking about using weather heads for DC conductors going from the array down into the ground? We do that frequently, but alas I do not have any pictures. Pretty much the top of the weather head would be about 4 inches under the module and then the conductors would swag over to the array purlin. The specifics were all pretty much up to the solar integrator we were working for and how they wanted it to look.

Make sure to specify this product, or something similar, to cover the sharp edges of the purlins, in the region where wire will pass over the lip.

Yes I almost mentioned that. There was a bunch of haggling over what product to use that went on for like a week and I'm not even sure what they decided on in the end. I was working on other stuff. That looks like a nice product.
