<div><font size="2"> We had some problems last year with some of the fronius
primos leaking in rain / wind conditions. Customer had a local shop tig weld an
aluminum shell / box that went around the unit. Had a shelf at the top that
stuck out like the brim of a hat. Worked great. We had also looked for something
and this custom made box was reasonably priced, looked great and solved the
leaking issue. If you want pictures let me know.</font></div>
