Forklifts and Solar Panels

A slight set-back today. I picked up my second solar panel yesterday. I also got the blocking diodes in the mail today. I decided that even though the new wiring was not here yet, I could at least mount the second panel on the hard dodger. Then I noticed the damage on the corner of the box holding the solar panel. The bent frame I could live with..... The shattered glass surface of the panel...... Not so much... Now to see if getting the replacement will be easy or hard... I'm crossing my fingers!
Cheers,
Rick
Update 10-12-09: Turns out my fear was unfounded! Hutton Communications in Dallas TX agreed that the damage looked like something that happened at their site and is shipping me a new panel at a reduced shipping rate. The new panel will be here by Wednesday, so I can still finish my installation during my 4 day weekend. Damn, good customer service is wonderful to find. My thanks to Don Cornett and everyone at Hutton Communications.
