[RE-wrenches] Installation Environment, Mold

[Randy Hatch]

Wrenches,

Hope your days are going well.  We have a prospective customer (adjacent to 
a sewer treatment plant) who is concerned that there may be an issue with 
mold growth on or under the PVL laminate modules that we are planning to 
install. The PVL module datasheet states that the adhesive has a microbial 
inhibitor but the customer does not believe that inhibitor alone will 
prevent mold from growing on, under or around the modules.  The customer 
also suggests that the environment will be more acidic than typical.  They 
have inquired as to how the pv equipment may be affected by these items over 
the installation's lifetime.  So, does anyone have industry experience with 
either or both of these environmental concerns?  How might the customer's 
concerns be addressed/alleviated?  Thanks much.

Thank you,

Randy Hatch
