Aren't Sanyo modules warranted for 20 years? That is less, but still substantial.

Does anyone know if Sanyo modules are affected by Potential Induced Degradation (PID) when connected to an ungrounded inverter?

To all that were asking about warranty on the old Sanyos, I was told that Panasonic that took over the Sanyo product will warranty the product, that being said, David was the contact I had and who is it that told me this, please take note that the Sanyo warranty was less then most other manufactures. <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]

We did a number of Sanyo HIP195, 200, and 210 installs, so far we’ve had a few failures showing up as backsheet bubbles. Some of the bubbles were so big that the wafer fell away from the glass! Here’s a couple photos. Didn’t think Panasonic would take care of this, after an exhausting warranty procedure that drew on for months on one system… their Japanese enggineering dept said no to our request for replacements on that one eventually.  Â

I have several dozen older Sanyo’s installed from that period. Are there any obvious physical degradations to look for or specific tests that can show issues? I don’t have a megger but have two systems installed in grid tied systems and a couple off-grid. No performance complaints as yet.

I dont know if you know this but Panisonic will warranty the old Sanyos, just got this from a rep last week.the issue you are having may be due to the failing of the back sheet under the frame edge.

Usually 200 – 550 kohms, just below tthe inverters 600k limit. Confirmed by my meggering. I discovered this after convincing the owners to upgrade the inverters from old SMA’s which don’t test for it. Anyone else see this issue in older panels, in particular Sanyos?
