Aren't Sanyo modules warranted for 20 years? That is less, but still
substantial. <br><br>
Does anyone know if Sanyo modules are affected by Potential Induced
Degradation (PID) when connected to an ungrounded inverter? <br><br>

<dd>I have several dozen older Sanyoâ\u20ac\u2122s installed from that period. Are
there any obvious physical degradations to look for or specific tests
that can show issues? I donâ\u20ac\u2122t have a megger but have two systems
installed in grid tied systems and a couple off-grid. No performance
complaints as yet.<br>

<dd>I dont know if you know this but Panisonic will warranty the old
Sanyos, just got this from a rep last week.the issue you are having may
be due to the failing of the back sheet under the frame edge.<br>

<dd>I now have two systems with older Sanyos(Panasonic), circa 2004,
which consistently fail the inverter (Solaredge) startup Insolation test
in wet weather. Usually 200 \u2013 550 kohms, just below tthe inverters 600k
limit. Confirmed by my meggering. I discovered this after convincing the
owners to upgrade the inverters from old SMAâ\u20ac\u2122s which donâ\u20ac\u2122t test for
it. Anyone else see this issue in older panels, in particular
Sanyos?<br>
