<DIV></DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,helvetica,sans-serif>First, I'd suggest
swapping the inverter under the suspect module with it's neighboring module's
inverter. See if the reduced output follows the module, or the inverter.
If it follows the module, then I'd have a frank talk with the module
manufacturer, backed with the data you've gathered, to see how they'll respond
before yanking it out and shipping it back. As you note, it may be within
spec, due to the tolerance of measurement error. Worst case, you've got
instant vision as when the performance degrades further to the point of clear
warrantable failure.</FONT></FONT>
