[RE-wrenches] Fire damage

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Kris,

With liquidation companies like Sun Electronics, where I see a new 280 Watt module for about $100 and some used 300W for 84 bucks, why would you consider used, possibly damaged modules that need to be removed and tested? There is “cheap" and there is “a fool and his money”. I recommend cheap instead.

Greetings wrenches,

I have a client that is looking to buy some salvaged modules off of a building that was near a fire.  What kind of potential issues can you anticipate?  Smoke, heat, etc.  Would it be enough to just test voc and isc for a known cell temp and irradiance in addition to a visual inspection or would an iv curve trace be necessary?

Thanks for any information,
Kris
