BP... these are the same folks that bought out Solarex, and who refused to
recall the huge number of defective panels produced about 10 years ago...
probably many of which are still on racks with their owners figuring they are

Ever since that incident I have boycotted Solarex/BP products. Sounds like that
is still a good policy in light of their ongoing corporate ethics, or lack
thereof. We can vote with our choices of who we buy materials from.
