"If you used rail and the nuts were too tight ..." ?<br>
<br>
Specifically suggest for the "Sanyo HIT N215A01" found on page 1
consider the "Recommendation of bolt torque range: 16N.m to 20N.m"
found on page 2 here:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">In my business I see quite a few broken
modules each year. As I recall, in every instance there is a
visible point where the impact occurred. Typically a small
radial pattern is around the impact point but then random
patterns over the rest on the module. Look close. Hope this
helps. <o:p></o:p></p>

recently inspected a system I installed in 2010,
because the owner commented that it appeared the
frost wasn't melting off of one particular module as
it was from the others. Turns out the module glass
is shattered. There are no obvious (that i can see)
impact points, leading to the question... Why did
the glass shatter?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
