I understood that the new framing would be present on the new mono and poly modules. They are called the "plus" series.<br><br>The new frames present some problems. There is no place for an Acme clip and no provision for back mount clips. We have been using the Acme clips as really the only listed, non-plastic, commercially available cable routing device on the market. Now that these don't work, we spent the day figuring out an alternative technique for routing PV cables. I think we came up with a pretty good solution that works with the DPW P6 rail and Enphase components that appear to be our new norm.<br><br>The glass on these modules looks cheap. It is reflective and not flat. The frames look and feel flimsy. It used to be the American made meant quality but I'm not so sure any more.<br><br>I spoke with my vendor and he said that complaints have been rolling in about the lack of a flange and the frame will be modified to include a flange. No idea how soon.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>William Miller<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
