on the part of our local techs might have caused one of these problems) We're now buying from American West Windmill and Solar in TX (800530-4744) and have had good service from them.  For our next round of systems, we'll probably be looking at Sunpumps as well.

through customs in Haiti is definately a pain and can be time-consuming.  You may pay more $ locally but will pay less in problems, delays and frustration.  (SELF has been working there since before the quake) Jeff j...@self.org Jeff Lahl  |  Project Director Solar Electric Light Fund

on the list will contribute their experiences. It will be interesting to see how both systems hold up in the same environment. Another company to check out for a full range in pumps is Sunpumps. www.sunpumps.com 800 370-8115. Good luck, Jeff Jeff Lahl | Project Director Solar
