    Please keep in mind that those plastic / synthetic washers have a high 
probability of deteriorating over the next several years creating a new set of 
issues.

  Jay,


  I would suggest that he has a point, that the dissimilar metals do have a 
reaction.  But that the reaction is self limiting and that stainless fasteners 
with aluminum are used in marine applications albeit only with anodized 
aluminum.  Or say fine and invoice accordingly for the plastic washers.

    I'd say no... Tell him to find another installer. 50 million Elvis fans, I 
mean PV installations, can't be wrong.


    Ask him if he brings his own scissors to the hairdresser? That's my 
favorite line.

      Hi all

      I've got a client who insists on "plastic " ( synthetic) washers between 
SS washers and the aluminum racking and modules.

      I'm tried every angle to assure him it's not a problem to no effect.

      So anybody have any recommendations about type, material, and where to 
buy?

      Thanks
