How would you make sure you were getting new stock over old. I guess by buying only from the website at full price. Oddly the two people I know of using two 12v panels in series have older Eco-Ws.
At least the NEW Eco-w and a pair of hinged 150w panels would make a sweet portable.
I had a series of emails with Eco-W and it turns out that:
A. the new ones are 50v and the old ones are 42v
B. you can't modify the old to be like the new, and
C. You can't tell the difference from the outside looking at it whether it is a 50 or a 42. (say you got a used one and wanted to know)
I suppose that means you could tell from the new circuit board somehow, but I won't ask them about that. :)
There are obvious comments to be made about that whole thing, but would be fruitless. Eg paint a blue dot on the new ones. Anyway that's how it is.
