What do you think of the SunPower modules? They seem to be a top quality product, and they really promote the idea that they produce the most power per DC watt. What have your side by side tests found? Why won't they warranty their product with Enphase? Thanks Sent from my iPhone

A service upgrade to this flush mount meter/main is beyond what the owner cares to spend as it is a major project being it is in a wall that is extremely crowded both structurally and electrically. There is no way to get between the meter and main w/o any modifications to what was UL listed as is. There is no distribution section, it is 200' away and trenching through landscape, gardens and patio's are not an option either. I know all about the horror stories over Zinsco, but the vast majority of their problems are in the distribution panels not these simple meter/main's with only one breaker that is rail mounted w/o those funky bus and breaker "connections" to it. This is a bigger picture issue that I'm raising here - having to secure a written letter from the manu on how to tap their panels on ALL jobs that are over 120% of bus rating regardless of panel brand or age. I agree that service taps rules apply here as do fill calcs and that a listed tap meeting fill allowances does not modify the panel to the point of UL violation. I'm meeting with the County head of Building next week to discuss further.... -jeff o >From the Solar, Wind and Hydro powered office of Jeff Oldham/Regenerative >SOLutions ____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email with Video Mail & Video Chat! _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: [email protected] Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
