A client of mine suffered a mysterious shattered module on a DPW TOP rack. The
rack holds eight of these in landscape orientation. The one that broke was in
the lower, west corner of the array. The glass appears to be uniformly
shattered, with pieces approximately 1/4" in size. The glass has not started to
fall out of the frame, but it seems that is only a matter of time. The module is
still producing power. The install, by others, was done about 9 years ago. There
is no apparent cause of the failure. It happened here, in Vermont, towards the
end of an unusually severe winter when the snow was already gone, but mowing had
not yet commenced.

There was a discussion here just a while ago that involved a broken SolarWorld
module on a similar rack. Has anyone seen this since then?

Would anyone have one of these or an Evergreen of the same size? Please respond
off list.
