That is great news, Paul!
Thanks for putting up the pdf files. It gives a good indication of the work involved. On page 29 you mention bending the tails into a sharp S-curve. Won't that damage them again in the long run?
I'm going to get my Polaris out of storage, and give it a quick check. And then I'll get back to you for an order for a set of panels.
Kind regards,
Ben
