[RE-wrenches] Kyocera KC120

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Check the dates on the KC-120 module label. If any were manufactured between January 1999 and December 2002, they either have failed or are likely to do so. We have been replacing these modules for over 8 years now. There was a defective solder joint during manufacture. 

Kyocera will still replace them under warranty even though they have no legal requirement to do so. I recommend replacing ALL 120's even if some still work. They will ship you remanufactured 120's and pay for return shipping. Contact Kyocera about the procedure.

Hello,
Does anyone know Kyocera's stand on the old KC120 modules. I recently visited a site with one shattered and others that may have issues.
