<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Wrenches,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for all your input. I took the advice of
those wrenchers suggesting I had bad modules and am in the process of dealing
with Kyocera - will update when I have received their final answer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My problem was that when I tested the modules they
showed normal Voc and Isc. But I was testing them, albeit in direct sunlight,
after storing them for the evening so they were cool and unloaded. When I
tested them on the roof after being loaded up and exposed to higher
temperatures, their performance diminished to nearly zero. So, after testing the
mods on the ground, I thought I had production from my array and was suspect of
the other components. I know my batteries are on their way out. But just how far
out the door?...more testing...</FONT></DIV>
