AMAZING PROOF
Mr.Mike Wells, an electrical engineer stopped by Friday. He happened across a solar system being torn down on radio station in Bascom, Ohio 37 yrs. ago. The Spectrolab 10 watt modules made for land not space use were being thrown from the racks into a dumpster. He bought them for the aluminum .50/lb.
Today he has at least 100 of them still on his house all working the same as the day he got them. You can call him. He also has a friend who has modules from Bell Labs, Henry Forbs, who has some that are even older that still work.
Today Mike has 6.5 KW off grid systems using SUN modules and a 1 KW grid tie systems using surplus Global Solar unframed modules.
37 years and they are still putting out their exact rated power says Mike.
Very interesting that the panels can be treated so rough and they still work fine. AND that after all these years they still output full power because I’ve always heard that the cells lose power with time.
