These modules are in great shape for their age, which is 10 years old, but that’s to be expected, because everyone knows that there is no sun in Washington. The plastic layer behind the cells is slightly yellowed, but they look perfect otherwise. They have 36 four inch diameter round cells and a nifty twist-off junction box cover on the back. They are rated at 2.4 amps at 16.5 volts and they are 1 foot wide by 4 feet long. If you buy 10 modules, we will throw in an anodized aluminum ground mount that holds 10 of these gems. The mount alone is worth over $300. Our supply is limited, so hurry. 11-801 M51 40 Watt Module $200. Freight in the U.S. is only $12, no matter how many modules you buy.
