[RE-wrenches] SolarWorld Poly

[William Miller]

Friends:

I got my hands on the first of the new poly modules today.  I understood 
that the new framing would be present on the new mono and poly 
modules.  They are called the "plus" series.

The new frames present some problems.  There is no place for an Acme clip 
and no provision for back mount clips.  We have been using the Acme clips 
as really the only listed, non-plastic, commercially available cable 
routing device on the market.  Now that these don't work, we spent the day 
figuring out an alternative technique for routing PV cables.  I think we 
came up with a pretty good solution that works with the DPW P6 rail and 
Enphase components that appear to be our new norm.

The glass on these modules looks cheap.  It is reflective and not 
flat.  The frames look and feel flimsy.  It used to be the American made 
meant quality but I'm not so sure any more.

I spoke with my vendor and he said that complaints have been rolling in 
about the lack of a flange and the frame will be modified to include a 
flange.  No idea how soon.

Sincerely,

William Miller
