If what you say is true, this is not the
first time Kyocera has done this. Back in the first quarter of 2006, we were
cruising along installing about 15 kW/mo of Kyocera, a mix of 170s and 200s. I
had a six month forecast in that vicinity and I would take 10 kW one month and
20 kW the next. Completely out of the blue, without any warning whatsoever,
Kyocera stopped shipping to us, not one module, and told us that they had no
legal or moral obligation to fulfil the current
orders or anything else on our forecast. Furthermore, they could not tell us
when they would be able to ship modules to us.  

   

They lost their
 Los Angeles sales person, soon afterwards; hired
a replacement and promptly lost the replacement. They then went for many months
without a sales person. 

   

It looks like déjà vu all
over again.

Don, 





  





        AEE has been
good to me over the years.  They have several flavors of PVs, though I believe no Kyo.

Without any word, they have stopped taking orders.! Not only could they
not fulfill an immediate need, they refused to even take a pretty nice order
for future delivery.????  



   





   





Who is still getting Kyocera? Whats the
deal.? Are they dumping the small accounts?   



   





If you are still doing
business with Kyocera, what size orders are you placing.? Not looking for biz
intelligence here, just respond as small , medium or large.  



   





Thanks for comments and information. Just trying to figure out where to
go from here. Like I'm looking for a supplier who treats s maller
shops with some respect. My comments do not reflect on my salesperson at
Kyocera who is very upset by being forced to refuse
orders.
