Here is contact info for a company in the states listed as a distributor for
the meters.
I have not spoken to them yet.

Is anyone selling the TBS meters at the moment?
I have installed a bunch of the e meter/link 10 meters and have had good luck
with them.
It would be nice to have a source for the installs that don’t use the Magnum
inverters and the BMK as a monitor.
Thanks for the info,
Bob

Is this a belated April Fool's Joke?
Or just an April Fool?
That module shouldn't be used for anything over the voltage it was designed and
intended for: 12 Volts!
And it shouldn't be used on anything but a non-NEC automotive application. In
this case, I'd consider tattling to the

I am reposting this to the list in hopes of shakin' up a response, as
nobody tried to answer my request for help.
In short: in theory, if you force an array to operate at a voltage
above its MPP, current drops off significantly on the
If the existing Solarex 77 modules are rewired six per series string,
that's six modules X 36 cells = 216 cells per string.
I suggest that you match that, with the new array strings also having
216 cells per string. Polycrystal might have a better chance of not
exceeding the Solarex VmP by as

Allan, I don't have the answer but imagine a lot depends on how much the aged
panels have dropped in output. In theory matching strings is important but
kW and/or kWh performance warranties are what some customers want and are
willing to pay for and what some PV companies provide successfully. Many
wrenches guarantee their systems' DC and even AC nameplate rating. For several

Hi,
My client's 15 year old MSX-60 has lost about 80% of its rated power.
I know BP bought Solarex but who is the contact person or department
within BP to handle an inherited warranty claim such as this one?
Kindly furnish name, phone, and email address if possible.
Thanks,

Mick,
Years ago Ezra Auerbach told me about Solarex having made bunches of
bad modules in the early 90s. The modules had correct Voc and Isc but
essentially a flat I/V curve. He said he stopped using any Solarex back
then because they didn't recall a product with a known and acknowledged

Joel,
Your link has nothing to do with the kWh performance warranties being
discussed, so I'm confused. The warranty referenced simply says that
"The insurers will indemnify for any reduction in power loss from
CNPV's warranted, 90% guaranteed energy output in the first 10 years

Allan,
My beard is pretty gray these days, so I'll bite. Without getting deep into
exactly where these modules have degraded to, I think your idea of adding
the extra MSX77s is a good one, although it might be a little overkill.
Since the customer has them, I would use them.
