<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>High temperature losses? Discontinued PVL's? First
off, the PVL product is all that they produce and still in production
today. The truth is that Uni-Solar is the BEST PV solar for high temperature
performance that you can buy. Temperature coeff. is only 0.21!! All other PV
modules only wish they could keep up. With bypass diodes on every cell, it
is the ONLY true shade tolerant PV solar. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for failure, I only had one framed module
fail (5 years ago) and no PVL's. While it is true that a failed PVL presents a
replacement problem, swap a 16" roof panel, the durability and
performance make it far more desirable for a hot climate. </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>Most installers are not located in hot climates and don't
really understand the great importance of a low temperature coefficient and
the effect it has over a lifetime.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for cost, they are much less than you have
stated. Our retail price is $4.50/watt but you get to deduct the
mounting structure cost, do the installation on the roof panels in
your shop before being installed by the roofer and have easy
wiring under the roof cap. Being a US made product seals the deal for
me. I wish the company would have done better financially and taken more of a
market share but they seem to have had their reputation tarnished due
to baseless rumors. Hmm.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, the US-64 was off their site just
after they canceled the product. That day for me was as sad as when Ford
canceled the Pantera.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=2>The US-64's were on their site for 3+ years
after they discontinued them. They don't keep it updated very
well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=2>I believe the main reasons the peel and stick
were discontinued was high failure rates, high temperature losses (due to very
little heat/air dissapation), and the difficulties in removing and replacing
bad panels. Cost was also a factor - on the order of $8-10 per
watt.</FONT></DIV>
