suspicious of this whole story. This came to me off list. Some of the post here
doesn't jive - it's pretty clear there's no glass, and the blurry corner doesn't
look it to me. </SPAN></DIV>

may be very wrong here and I don’t mean to impugn anyone’s integrity but
don’t forget that in this era of digital animation movies you can’t always
believe what you see in photo either. (I'm sure no one here has ever
Photoshop<SPAN class=234584400-12022009><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>p</FONT></SPAN>ed a photo to make it more presentable
looking.) I couldn't help but notice that the bottom right corner of
the photo was surprisingly blurry and indistinct. It is
difficult to distinguish one thing from the next, when just a few feet
away but out of the range of detail in the photo, things seemed to be
much clearer. I’ve never seen a photo look like that
in reality. It’s as if the roof and array have
mysteriously melted together. Also, I have never seen tempered glass
melt in a low temperature fire.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If it were a high temperature fire the roof would not have
survived. I think that a great deal of caution is warranted
especially considering the lack of detail that the poster is giving about
the panels, location, installer/supplier, existence of another array
etc. <SPAN class=234584400-12022009><FONT face="Times New Roman"
