[RE-wrenches] Standard sizing

[William Miller]

Friends:

Why can't the industry create a list of standard module sizes, sort of like 
the battery industry has (http://www.rtpnet.org/teaa/bcigroup.html)?  This 
would be a big benefit to the consumer and the installer.  If a module of 
Group X size breaks, you are far more likely to find a replacement if other 
manufacturers make modules of the same physical size.  Then the only 
challenge is to match electrical characteristics, but if you find the same 
crystal type and cell count, you have succeeded.  Who can we advocate to?

PS:  I have been saying this for years!
