[RE-wrenches] Uni-Solar 68w Laminate panel removal

2015-03-03 Thread Lou Russo
Wrenches, Has anyone ever removed these from a metal standing seam roof? If so, was the module or roof damaged? If not, then is there a market for these used panels? Thanks for any insight. Aloha, Lou Russo ___ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance

Hi Lou, There should be two screws at the top of the module. Remove these and on a very hot day you should be able to start at the top edge and peel it down. Don't hurry. Once started, a heat gun to the bottom will speed it up. If some stick-um gets left on the roof, you'll need a solvent to

Wrenches, What high performance PV modules are being sold in the US? I can't find Panasonic modules anymore. I have written to them twice but they can't direct me to any distribution in the US. They insist that Sunwize will have them but Sunwize says they have no plans yet to purchase again.

Thanks for your reply August. I'm quite surprised that you have two Uni-Solar systems not performing well. Third party testing consistently proved them the top performer. (eg. Santa Cruz and Tucson sites) With my experience both on and off grid, I am convinced. Panasonic was great because, in

OK, I guess that it had to happen someday. I call Uni-Solar in Michigan for some basic product info only to be told that their sales dept. does not take any phone calls, that any inquiries have to be done on-line. Being in the customer service myself, like pretty much all of us, it is beyond

Correction David. Uni-Solar produces their product completely in the US with US labor and US materials. The Mexico plant was for framed module assembly and for cutting the laminates. They have stopped production of the framed modules but the cutting process is still in Tijuana. Since
