The issue I have with new panels is the alleged "warranty " behind them. I am a solar/wind dealer and installer. The companies that tout their products claim the 20-30 year power out put, and their history and longevity in the business. However, they invariably are out of business or chapter 11 more often then not in a short time frame. Yes, even the "publicly traded" companies. For my business, selling and the being the main point of contact with the end user, I will be the first phone call .... you get the picture. It is dissapointing the state of the industry. AdobeJoe....PS, don't ask me about the Wyoming state electrical inspection and small REA paranoid issue on safety and reliability, that really gets me going.
