Hi Allan and Todd. these modules sound like the ones that Powerlight used back many years ago.
These modules were mounted flat with the blue foam as insulation/mounting. the concept while pretty cool at first look didn't work out. Not sure what to tell you about what/how to mount them too however. jay peltz power On May 30, 2013, at 3:46 PM, Allan Sindelar wrote: > Todd, > I don't have your answers, only the caution that "blue foam" to many of us > with a construction background means extruded polystyrene or "blueboard", > commonly used around foundations.
