Have a customer who has a 14 year old ground mount with Canadian solar panels. The system started showing Arc faults and shutting off. Ther panels white backing had started to crack on all 20 panels and some panels started to develop small burn marks on the back side. Canadian solar stepped up and honored the warranty and shipped replacement panels to my customer last week. I would encourage all of you that have older systems with Canadian solar panels to please check the back side and make sure the white backing is not cracking. If so please reach out to them before their warranty expires. Again, Kudos to Canadian Solar, in todays market it is so very refreshing to have a manufacturer step up and make customer whole.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thx<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Peter Giroux<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>American Solar & Alternative Energy Solutions inc<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Norcross Ga<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
