Subject: [RE-wrenches] Canadian Solar "blemish"<br>

Hello all,<br>
We have a customer who has acquired, over the last ten years or so, a<br>
large array with several different makes and models of panels, all<br>
installed by a qualified electrician and the customer. They have done<br>
an excellent job as far as self installed systems go.<br>
He just sent me a picture of one of his Canadian Solar 210's with a<br>
very unusual pattern on it (actually under the glass). The panel is<br>
about three years old and shows no decline in output, but he is<br>
concerned with the very obvious visible pattern. I have never seen<br>
anything like it.I've attached it to this email. Anyone?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas,<br>
