Abstract
A photovoltaic (PV) module mount having an integrated cable management feature, a system incorporating a PV module mount, and a method for making a PV module mount are disclosed. In one embodiment, a PV module mount may include a mounting rail configured to be secured to a PV module. The mounting rail may include a first side wall, a second side wall, a connecting structure connecting at least a portion of the first side wall with at least a portion of the second side wall, and one or more tabs. The one or more tabs may include a cable management feature configured to retain one or more electrical cables, and a PV module spacer configured to create a separation between PV modules mounted on the PV module mounting rail.
