Well Alan, all I remember about the Coors guys' efforts pretty much
matches your description. Except that everyone called them Golden
Genitals. ;-)<br>

<p><font face="Times New Roman">We removed a Y2K system installed by

resold. </font>

<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>
