Good luck Randy. The APX series was a string ribbon polycrystalline
material that Astropower developed about the same time as Evergreen was
getting ramped up with their own string ribbon. I saw APX prototype
samples about 5-6 years ago, the 12-volt, 90-watt version even managed
to get listed (to my embarrassment) in the 10th Edition Solar Living
Sourcebook in '99, but production all went overseas. They never offered
this module officially in the US. You stumble across a stash of them in
some dark corner? We set a retail price of $499 on the 90-watt in '99 if
that helps.

Cheers,

Wrenches,

Can anyone give me a ball park figure for the retail value of brand new 
(in the box) AstroPower APx-75-SC solar modules?  Or where I can get a 
copy of the technical sheet for them?  I've checked www.gepower.com, 
since they bought AstroPower, and sent them a message asking the above. 
  These are 75 watt, 8.7vDC, 8.6 amp, nominal modules intended for 
series connection for a grid tie string inverter, I believe.

Thanks,

Randy Brooks
