Marine Environment [RE-wrenches]

[Sol Energy]

While most of our work is in-land, we also do maintenance, installations,
redesign and reinstallations of poorly designed and installed systems in the
Carribean bay islands off the coast of Honduras.  Hardware, of course,
should be stainless steel or at least galvanized (screws, nuts, bolts and
washers).  Mounting structures are usually alumninum.  Lightning arrestors
are recommended, along with varistors.  Modules and frames have held up with
no problems, with over 15 years of use on keys.
