If the ballasted system is properly designed to withstand the wind
loading (90 mph to 150 mph), I would say that that most definitely
qualifies as firmly secured.
Is someone actually giving you trouble on this issue, or are you just
thinking ahead?

I am considering using REC modules on a project, and have never used

No, IMHO.
A polycrystalline module is never going to be top shelf.
First Quality would be Sunpower, Solarworld, Sanyo,
Check the new CEC module ratings. Apparently most modules were further
derated. A few stayed the same or went up slightly.

I just tried to get pricing availability (have a customer that has been
patiently waiting for one), and was told by a big solar distributor - due to
large backlog @ SMA they will not get stock for at least a month...
Maybe in time for Christmas?!

REC is the only company that I know of that has proactively initiated
a recall, will give you all new modules and pay you for your time.
They are replacing the three that I have on my house.
The communication with REC has been easy, fast and no BS.
I'm impressed.
As to recalls, this list

REC are pretty good id say.
They are big, like Sharp big. A bit of a challenge to layout on a roof.
They have a removable back on the junction box and there are 3 diodes i

what really counts is knowledge, experience, responsiveness, and a

To a large extent what you say is true. The catch is it that was when the old
timers (and I would add Windy Dankoff to those) ran their own companies.
In the past several years though we have seen service overall among most
distributors, go down as they get taken over by (often foreign) outside
Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
Comparing for example the Poly Kyocera and the single crystal Solarworld and
Suntech, there is less than 1/2 of 1% difference in PTC derating.
Sanyo comes out about 2% better, but costs 30-50% more per watt.
Single crystal is often touted as being
