[RE-wrenches] BP SX 170B

[Nick Soleil]

Hi Kirpal:
    I just removed one of these last week.  BP will provide a warranty replacement, and they will cover $100 for the labor if you bill them for it.  BP will replace it with one of the newer 175 watt modules, which have very similar ratings.  I have seen a bunch of these modules shatter after the j-box connections overheated.  I have seen many of these modules with scorched connections at the j-box, but only 1/2 or so will result in cracked glass.

Hi All....I was just at a customers house and they had a BP SX170B that was damaged, presumably by hail.....looking for a replacement, new or used would be fine.....anyone know where to locate one of those?  offline response would be great!
