[RE-wrenches] Discoloring Solar World panels

[Jason Szumlanski]

I have the same question as Jerry. It's not brand-specific, either. We have
had panels from various manufacturers over the years where we installed
them, and clients noticed a difference in color/look/reflectivity from day
one essentially. Sometimes, it's just the angle you are looking at them. We
have replaced modules from time to time to "fix" this problem, which isn't
a performance issue but an aesthetic one.
