I had the same experience as the older post you referenced with these mods on 2 MW system. Lots of burn marks and shattered glass, located at the edges of cells. And under thermal imaging there were clearly lots of issues, including ones that hadn’t (yet) manifested themselves to the naked eye. The

I was searching the forums for information on Peimar modules and this is all that came up. Does anyone have any experience with recently produced PERC modules from them? They are being offered through my distribution network at an attractive price, but I am a bit skeptical. Jason Szumlanski On

My cohort here that used to make PV modules thinks that something may have hit the back of the module ?  Maybe somebody weed-eating around the array and something hit it ? We notice the cracks in Ray's cells are white. Are the backs of these modules white too ? Interesting if they still wo

I had a module engineer tell me these are often a static discharge issue which happens during the lamination process. It’s not effecting the cell surface but the encapsulate above it. It’s not cracking but it looks like it. Jay Peltz power. > On Aug 14, 2018, at 7:31 AM, Dave Tedeyan wr
