Thanks all! We're working on getting in touch with someone from the
module manufacturer who can tell us something substantive before proceeding.
Best,
Louis

The sooner you get started, the easier it is to get off. The paint is
still curing and hardening. Paint doesn't stick well to glass, so
probably mild soap and water ( manufacturer approved) and a nylon
scrubby pad will cure the problem.

I agree with Jason -- call the manufacturer. If the modules don't
have any kind of AR coating you can use a razor blade scraper which

If I am the customer, that painter just bought himself a row of modules.
As a practical matter, I bet there is little problem with careful use
of some kind of solvent, but who knows what the long term effects
would be, and I certainly wouldn't take on that liability. Warranty
could be an issue, if not some risk immediate damage.
Call the manufacturer. They would be the best reference in this case.

Hi Wrenches,
We have an existing customer who just had their house repainted, and
the painter oversprayed significantly on a row of modules. I haven't
run into this particular problem before, and am at a bit of a loss
about what to recommend to our customer for cleaning up this mess.
Anyone have recommendations of cleaning products or techniques to use
that won't damage the AR coatings or anything else on the module, yet
will remove paint? Or for that matter, what to avoid?
Thanks,
