[RE-wrenches] 75W module match

[Hugh Piggott]

I have installed a lot of BP 380 and BP 485 panels that I think have the same frames.  But it's all on a what you can find basis now since they have given up on the retail market, I am told.

cheers

Hugh (with a nice array of 275s still doing good work on my old house)
