| Hi,

I read on your website that your panels were finally replaced, after a
lot of trouble. Have you had any further technical issues with the new
panels? Have you glued them to the deck, do you walk on them? How do
they perform? Would you buy them again if the after sales service
would be better? Wout

The panels have less than a year on them and were still working when we
left the boat. Now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that they'll
keep working.

The panels are glued and screwed to the hard dodger, and I don't walk on
them. You can see pictures of them at:

Overall, I'm happy with their performance, but I wouldn't recommend them
to anyone based upon their customer service. I won't deal with any
company who won't stand behind their product.
