What's up with Sanyo's? [RE-wrenches]

Ok I'm a little confused (more then usual).  What's definition of "average"
temperature?  24hrs, monthly, annual?  There's no place in the world that
has that has an average temp of 104f, right?  So they must mean a shorter
time frame.  Pretty much any place in the lower 48 can hit 104f for a few
hours a year.

Are they talking about ambient or cell temp?

Thanks for the help.

Travis and Wrenches,

I received an update a few weeks ago. regarding the HIP-xxxBA3, as of 
August 17th, the temperature restriction remains:
NO WARRANTY if installed in locations where the average temperature 
reaches or exceeds 104F.

A few other specifications have changed:

1. They removed the 1000 meter height restriction
2. They removed the relative humidity restriction
   (How many of you knew that there is no warranty if installed in an 
area that has less than 45% humidity!)
3. Increased maximum modules in series to 8
4. Reduced the tolerance to -5%
