Or use three 56k 2 watt in parallel with one 47k or 51k 2w.
Or don't worry and use 5 68k 2 watt in parallel.
When paralleling, don't stick them right up against each
other, give them some cooling air.

That's all a bit confusing and too much.. Would be much better with one slightly up or down in resistance or two that would make the correct value or close.. Besides that 15k 10watt solar panel looking resistor from mouser you are talking about would not fit or go very well.. Isn't the original green one in there wirewound? it sure looks it, or at least it may be a ceramic one..
I've done google searches with no luck.. Only other option I can think of is Moyers, if they sell resistors..
