Rain-X on module glass? [RE-wrenches]

[graham at solarexpert.com]

Hi Jason,

The modules are Shell ST40's, thin film CIS technology, which perform
very well in high temperature locations, better than crystalline.  The
module is all black, frame and glass, a beautiful looking product.  The
modules for this customer are mounted as single units each powering
transmitters in remote locations.  When installed in a vertical manner
partial shading of a CIS module doesn't wipe out production entirely as
is the case with some crystalline modules.  This customer is very happy
with their solar power.

Graham

Not to be too much of a smart-a** but aren't we concerned about how
modules will do in the sun?

Black backgrounds sound like they'd equal hot cells, black frames seem
like a better idea since they are only hot to handle.

Hey Chris and all,

The new Sharp 140/70 modules are black framed and black background. 
They should do well in the snow.
