Hi,
I read about your experiences just after I had bought 3 40W solara
panels. They have been working fine for 3 seasons now. How have your
replacement panels performed since 2007?

Yes, they've been working, but I've gotten several pieces of e-mail telling
me that the customer service issues with Solara in Germany haven't been
resolved. So, lets just hope that they keep working!
