HI Dan;
So is it fair to say that an inverter run at half it's design capacity
might last twice as long?
What in your opinion would be the sweet spot of enhanced reliability but
still reasonable cost?
I'm sure Exeltech just like everyone else (including me) are being
squeezed from all sides to keep lowering cost.
Its just ridiculous, and a long term player like Evergreen Solar going
under should be a real wake up call for all of us.
The solar industry's current race to the bottom is sacrificing long term
reliability (and our future) for lower $$/ watt today.
I actually wonder if slowing some subsidies might make for a saner
playing field.
