New Business Plan: PV recycle yard. Stock used PV modules of
all makes and models. Get on the "hot-line" and provide
used product for warranty repairs.<br><br>
Rant on: I have always advocated that the industry be required by
federal mandate to build modules in some basic standardized sizes -- like
batteries. Then, if your "Group X" sized module is
broken, you have a fair chance of finding another Group X sized module
with similar electrical characteristics to replace it. Probably
never gonna happen, but it should. Rant off.<br><br>

While I admire your bravery, I don't see how you could fix that panel and
put any kind of a warranty on it. I have replaced about 6 pieces of
glass on thermal panels and even that is such a pain in the butt I now
recommend panel switchouts. And thermal panels do not require
nearly the functional perfection PVs do. That said, this brings up
a great point that PV manufactures and perhaps the industry needs to
address. Though not a commonality, PV panel breakage is
inevitable. I think the question best be turned over to the
manufactures. I can't see the answer coming from anywhere
else.<br>

<font face="arial" size="2">I have a customer who called this week stating
that their son hit a golf ball in the backyard up on the roof and
shattered one of the solar modules. The system was installed in 2005 and
the module is a Sanyo HIP-190BA19. I have not been able to find a
replacement as most sites list the module as discontinued. The module is
still functioning and I was wondering if anyone has taken a module to a
glazier for a glass replacement? Any other solutions are welcome.
Thanks.<br>
