<DIV><BR>What do you think of the SunPower modules? They seem to be a
top quality product, and they really promote the idea that they produce the
most power per DC watt. What have your side by side tests found?
Why won't they warranty their product with Enphase?</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks all for the good feedback. A service upgrade to this flush mount
meter/main is beyond what the owner cares to spend as it is a major project
being it is in a wall that is extremely crowded both structurally and
electrically. There is no way to get between the meter and main w/o any
modifications to what was UL listed as is. There is no distribution section,
it is 200' away and trenching through landscape, gardens and patio's are not
an option either.<BR><BR>I know all about the horror stories over Zinsco,
but the vast majority of their problems are in the distribution panels not
these simple meter/main's with only one breaker that is rail mounted w/o
those funky bus and breaker "connections" to it. This is a bigger picture
issue that I'm raising here - having to secure a written letter from the
manu on how to tap their panels on ALL jobs that are over 120% of bus rating
regardless of panel brand or age. I agree that service taps rules apply here
as do fill calcs and that a listed tap meeting fill allowances does not
modify the panel to the point of UL violation. I'm meeting with the County
head of Building next week to discuss further....<BR><BR>-jeff
