<DIV>wrenches,<BR><BR><BR>the defect in REC panels is the frame expands past
the panel and can contract and break the glass. Unfortunate, but no big deal
in a lot of ways. I dont know if there is another defect, but that one would
warrant a recall instead of replacing a lot of panels. There was also an
article about their Oregon plant breaking a couple hours after it went online.
Im glad to see they have done a recal. I think it is proper and good business.
I think thier silicon and wafers are fine and well made, and we would
hopefully find out if they werent because they are a major supplier of wafers
to several manufactures. <BR></DIV></DIV><BR>
