<DIV style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;"><DIV><BR>This is another example of the manufacturers doing whatever and let the installers just deal with it. We just finished a campus wide lighting of all remote signage with custom solar lighting systems. We made up pre-packaged mini-pole mounts with the modules attached so when we got out on site there was only final wiring hookup required. However, several of our systems required different module sizes due to differences in wattage and number of lights. The campus was a 2 hour drive each way from shop, and when we started to assemble everything we found half of the modules had solar wire pigtails and half had USE-2 pigtails. </DIV>

<DIV>The pre-assembled M/F wiring extensions we ordered to save having to make our own were also a mix of wire types, and at least half of these wires would not fit through the 2-hole cable connectors we normally install on the combiner boxes as they all had a different outside diameter. Some of the other cables fit very loosely in the 2-hole connectors which will not be a very good moisture barrier. We tried cable glide goop on the largest cables and they still would not fit through these connectors.</DIV>

<DIV>This little mix-up lost us another day in field work and a very long return trip that should not have been require.</DIV>

<DIV>As we start receiving all this non-standardized stuff, better check everything twice.</DIV>
