Solar panels are the problem after all

Just recently. You will need to send the faulty ones to them when they issue you with a tracking number. Remove the aluminium angle bracket. Your warranty will be refused if they receive them damaged. I got some heavy cardboard refrigerator shipping boxes from a retailer and bound them up with packaging tape. Do yourself a favour and get a dispenser for a few dollars. They will supply 130w panels which are the same physical size.
Obviously these things are not bulletproof so I went to the trouble of installing an ammeter on each solar panel output so any new problems will be picked up instantly. I don't trust the dam things.

On the problem with your fridge a digital thermometer for around $25 is a worthwhile investment.

Personally I'd try and avoid running over anymore chinamen.

All the best

When I got mine replaced I was in Roma QLD at the time and Kyocera organised a TNT courier pickup from Roma at the caravan park where I was camping. We moved onto a property for the next 3 weeks and the new ones came via the mailman (who wasn't pleased about the weight!). I installed them myself but used tinned copper wire of the same size as the old wire. It was a marine grade. Additionally I soldered all joints to reduce losses through corrosion.

Have a talk to "The Rainbow Power Company" in Nimbin about Kyocera and claims, they were very helpful and sorted our problems on a (at the time), 8 year old van. J& T
