Yep, the old modules were heavier, had a thicker frame, and most
importantly: much less total surface area. The old 75 w modules were less

Hi Bill;
Solar World customer support did come through yesterday with flying
colors. They got hit by a big storm in the North West. Right now
though, they are saying that we exceeded the 64 PSF rated loading to

HI Ray,
Like some of you, I’ve been installing DPW racks since 90’s.
And I think this center bolt design isn’t well suited to the much larger racks
we have today. You can tighten that bolt up tight as you want, but any
tolerance and there is always some will allow it to move. This movement roun
Hi Ray,
Have you checked the torquing on all the other bolts? My company's had a
few projects where some modules blew off - it's always been due to
over-torquing of the bolts.

Hi Daryl;
I wonder if the DP&W rack is allowing some bending or torqueing of the
module frame, that over time with thin aluminum causes metal fatigue,
cracking, and finally total failure. Funny both of our isolated
failures involved the same rack. Also, I did more sluething and these
