Mounting hardware like that can easily cost nearly as much as the panels with how cheap panels can be right now, and the cost of the extra labor to install stan

  That mounting hardware shouldn't cost any more than standard mounting hardware - it'd be a simple matter of making one pair of standoffs taller than the other. You are going to need standoffs, and the labor to install them anyway.

    Yes, but suddenly you need different kinds of standoffs instead of one uniform size. This makes manufacturing a bit more expensive, logistics a bit more challenging, and installation a bit more complicated. All of this means it's going to be more expensive than standard mounting hardware. Not by a lot, but solar panels have become cheap enough that even small differences matter.

      Yes, but on my napkin, all of this will create significantly more power which more than offsets those costs.
