[RE-wrenches] Translucent Backed Modules

[Mick Abraham]

Hello, Chad Waits & all~ Prism Solar has a facility right there in Tucson,
Chad...so you can check them out. Prism builds frameless PV laminates with
bifacial cells & a clear backer sheet. In addition to a 60 cell version
they also have the same jumbo size laminate with only 48 cells so more
daylight can get through. Mix & match?

Be sure to report your opinions & experience back to us Wrenchies.
Corporate provenance regarding Prism is among my big questions: are they
making a sustainable profit? Is there a wealthy parent company? I'm also
curious about where their products are built. With your strong sales
prospect right there in Tucson, Chad, you're ideally situated to suss out
these issues...& help us all.

If any friendly folk might be traveling from the Tucson area to SW
Colorado, I'd sort of like to buy a Prism sample for show & tell...so if
anyone could safely transport same...I'll pay for the help. I know the
company through whom I would buy the laminate but it seems crazy for me to
motor freight a single unit...especially since it's another of my "maybe
I'll find a customer who'll buy it" gambles.

BTW for those who wrote about other brands: Panasonic bifacial/clear backer
seems unavailable stateside for 2016. Solarworld is showing a
bifacial/clear backer product in their literature but having built one demo
project these also seem unavailable stateside for 2016.

The Wrench List is the bomb!
