Shipping
Talked to customer service about the issue and they were very helpful and i received the cover and a spare about 2 weeks later.
The package arrived on time and in excellent condition (west coast to east coast).
Give us instructions and you'll receive 5 starts every-time!
I had to order that after the fact, but it’s only $10 and came quick.
Packaging/appearance
Love that it was a complete package.
Real quality product, came safely packaged, plenty of great directions and installs somewhat easy for a newbie solar user!
Faced east in the morning, laid them down flat on top of the box at noon, the propped up facing west in the evening.
Competitiveness
No big deal, i can pick up some parallel y connectors.
Other companies stuff just doesn’t hold up to farm level abuse.
