Solarex Modules [RE-wrenches]

[Jerry Caldwell]

I've used Solarex modules on perhaps 10 systems.  They
look nice (if you're into polycrystalline).  And
whereas I've never witnessed any major failures,
here's a list of problems I've had with Solarex
modules:

1)wimpy j-boxes sometimes come loose from back of
module.
2)terminal strip cracks & comes loose from j-box.
3)a bad diode or two

Overall, I'd say they're a decent product, but not
quite my fav mod either.
