Thanks but no. I proudly bought a SolARex 53W panel back in '99 so I could survive Y2K, LOL. I know Solarex was bought by BP and have somehow unintentionally remained brand loyal through all these years. I got a couple BP 80W panels three years ago for the garage 'cause they were on sale. Now I have lots more SX170s, 'cause that's what the guy who got my money for my system had in stock. I got one with a burn spot in it now but it still makes some power. Maybe BP can divert some of their oil revenue profits and send me a new panel. At least I got a company and a retailer that are still in business to deal with. Luckilly, my panel seemed to die before the manufacuturer could run and hide.
Looks like my neighbors 20 year warranty might as well have been printed on US currency. It's as good as the paper it was printed on. The .uk company ain't the manufacturer.
I've been in a funky state of mind lately about corporations. This kind of thing tends to get on my nerves. Why not give a 100 year warranty? It's really only good until the name can be sold and the liability trail erased. This panel died in less than 10 years. Big promise, no follow up, big effort to track the liable company with zero results. Eat the $400 and go on I guess.
