Dead PV Modules [RE-wrenches]

[Dana Orzel]

In 1999 we replaced [36] Kyocera LA51 on one system alone. The wire traces
had burnt through to the back in some cases, and lots of bubbles on the back
substrate. Several dealers tried to say that it was lightning damage. It was
not lightning damage.
In 2000 we replaced 4 more LA 51 on another system. Same conditions.
Output varied from 0 to 0.51 amps output in full sun at 9,000 ft el. with
clear conditions.

Kyocera was very helpful and quite prompt in their response to the matter of
replacement in both cases.

Energetically,
