Hey folks,
I'm in the middle of re-commissioning properly(megger, curve tracer, etc.) a 45 kw system that I installed using BP SX170B panels in the Spring of 2006. I have found 5 strings so far with 0 Voc, and 2 strings with a good Voc but 0 current when the inverter is operating. I have noticed small brown burn marks on the face of a few panels where the junction box and/or bypass diodes are (haven't looked at every panel yet). I understand that these panels are now showing problems elsewhere in the field. If one of you familiar could pass me the present BP warranty contact, that would be great. Also any real-life experience / two-cents worth with your dealings with BP and this problem would help also. Thanks.
