1. A cable management system for managing cables associated with an array of solar modules, the cable management system comprising:
a body having a top, a bottom, an interior surface extending vertically between the top and the bottom of the body, an exterior surface extending vertically between the top and the bottom of the body, and an interior cavity between the interior surface and the exterior surface;
a lower flange extending directly from the interior surface of the body, the lower flange including a distal end, wherein the body defines an open recess above the lower flange; and
a cable management flange extending directly from the interior surface of the body above the lower flange, the cable management flange including a distal end, wherein the cable management flange divides the open recess into regions,
wherein the cable management flange and the lower flange define a cable cavity therebetween for retaining at least one cable,
wherein the distal ends of the lower flange and the cable management flange define an opening for inserting the at least one cable into the cable cavity,
wherein the cable management flange is arranged to engage the at least one cable and secure the at least one cable in the cable cavity,
wherein the cable management flange is flexible to accept and retain the at least one cable.
