No, this is a third party quality assurance inspector for a rate payer
funded program. The issue is most likely proper use of ratepayer funds
towards these projects. I would think that the AHJ wouldn't be
concerned unless there was a safety issue My question is more along the
lines of: is this a real issue, and if so, how does one see the defect?

Hi Chris,
Do you mean the AHJ?

Recently a inspector raised the issue of microfractures in pv modules, and that
the existence of such fractures would require replacement of the modules and a
failing of the system inspection. I found information from NREL confirming the
existence of microfractures in poly crystalline. However, I have not seen any
information on how to detect them (ie, what they look like). Does anyone have
a reference that shows this, and is this a valid concern for the industry?
Thank you, Chris
