Frank and Clive Wilkinson,
We had the same thing happen to us the promise of advertising 200 bucks per unit.  I received units and tried to collect on the promise I was told too bad too late. don't know any thing ect.....ect....... I still have these units in stock. That I may have paid more for than what there selling them for now to the public.  That makes us Look Like DOG DUE!  We gave our Solarex 64w away to a friend that wanted to play around with solar.  I would love for him to be able to replace them under warrantee, ya think I can give Solarex a call?  One of the ways we avoid making big mistakes is by Purchasing from great distributor's. For example Cheep equipment and stuff that don't work is a real issue. BobO has some of the best things that work articles.  Every distributor should have a BobO for tech support..... No bull this works and do it the right way aditutde.
We are out here on the front line making these system as safe and smart as possible.  What do they think we have no liability no risk?  Most of us don't even make a living at this we are just dam determined to make it happen. I often feel like I get the no money end of the deal.  I do my share of out reach and quality public education.  Just yesterday a earth day celebration wanted me to power their music concert and then told me to ask the manufactures to donate the gear solar/wind.  So I could power the stages.  & "Oh and by the way all your local competitors are setting  up tables at the event."  I am only sighting this as an example of the type calls we get.  I know all of us get them some good some not.  I have had some manufactures to support us for example:  Last year Exceltech Loaned us a Hell of a inverter for one of these concerts.   The service and the quality of the product was amazing. We do only off grid (stage) concerts.  This is risky as hell but we are good.  I know there are others that have and continue do this type of out reach.  Including RG and BobO.  The manufactures should pay us to do this, if any one knows of a manufacturing company that wants Loan or rent equipment for educational out reach let me know!  I can send them a résumé and portfolio of our work.  Chris Carter is a great educator.  Check him out on NH public TV "Who has seen the Wind" only a short but a good educationally, A video for everyone.
