[RE-wrenches] Peel-n-stick Uni-Solar: were these ever made in 5' length?

[Warren Lauzon]

The US-64's were on their site for 3+ years after they discontinued them. They don't keep it updated very well.

I believe the main reasons the peel and stick were discontinued was high failure rates, high temperature losses (due to very little heat/air dissapation), and the difficulties in removing and replacing bad panels. Cost was also a factor - on the order of $8-10 per watt.

    the whole peel-n-stick product line seems to be no more. Is that right?
