<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There was always a lot of gossip about the Coors
brothers' involvement in PV. Did anyone on this list actually work on PV with
Coors?</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Old time Wrenches, I need a history lesson,
please…</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">We removed a Y2K system installed by someone
else, before a home was put on the market. All equipment was resold.
</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The array consisted of ten Golden Genesis 12V
120W modules. Six were sold with racks, but four went to one of our existing
customers. I ordered a DP&W pole-top rack for them.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">When the time came to install them the rack
didn't fit. We redrilled holes and it all went together, but I was ready to
rake DP&W over the coals until I discovered that the mistake was mine: the
terminal circuit board inside a j-box showed that these were actually
Astropower AP120s. I had assumed that these were the common KC-120s of that
time, that had been private-labeled with Golden Genesis' name. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Golden Genesis was a Coors Brewing (of Golden,
Colorado) spinoff that got into PV for a few years around that time. My
understanding is that they bought the entire Photocomm name and distribution
network, as well as played with thin-film development for awhile (gallium
arsenide?). Photocomm had been the U.S. distributor for Kyocera for years.
Eventually GG sold out to Kyocera USA, which is what we have now.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Who can fill me in on all this? Joel?</FONT>
