blinded by the light?! [RE-wrenches]

[Jerry Caldwell]

Marco,

A Uni-Solar system of approximately the same size was
recently installed on San Francisco Int'l airport. 
Steve Heckeroth boasts of persuading SF airport
officials to go with Uni-Solar because of the glare
"issue".

I can't help but wonder how these pilots land planes
at airports around the world with architectural glass,
skylights, and windows posing this hazard every day.

I thought BP abandoned production of thier amorphous
products.  Our company installed a residential system
utilizing BP's Millenia modules about 4 years ago &
the customer wasn't too happy with the output.  They
had the array changed out a few years later for
crystalline modules.
