Doug,
While the module may be past its workmanship warranty period, if the
defect affects the module's power output.... then i would argue that
the power output warranty should cover it. That warranty should be
good for 25yrs.
Anyone care to comment on that reasoning?

In a way, I don't quite understand the difference.
If a module plain old stops working because of workmanship or whatever,
isn't 0% of original output less than 80% of original output ??

that it is not a warranty claim until the module fails. I think that
one module with this issue along the frame will eventually fail. But
we are past the 2 year warranty of defects at this point.
