Your description almost exactly matches the Maverick solar array produced by the Aussie company 5b (https://5b.co/) - you are definitely on to something.

Factory assembly and field deployment is a far faster, safer, and higher quality method of building solar farms.

Ha awesome, that looks almost exactly like what I was imagining. I guess it was somewhat obvious to anyone who’s used racking like the one I used and thought about it. I wonder how well their system works in practice, but I can’t imagine it’s less efficient than positioning/attaching these things and wiring them up in the field, and then crawling under and tucking tons of wires away with painful little clips.

Now that that’s taken care of, we just need some way to get the interconnection queues moving faster :-)
