Official Interpretation

5/26/2005 Regulation 5.4 & 5.5
Question:
What limitation, if any, if there to the methods, manner, and materials used to support the array in charging orientation/configuration? Does any part of the support system, other than the electrical connections of Reg. 5.5 need to be carried by the solar car?
Official Response:
Array stands do not need to be carried by the car. Array panels, peak power trackers and electrical connections must be carried by the car.
