Thermal shock can be an issue with the glass or the cells moving faster or slower, we will only do module cleaning in the am to make sure it drys and the temps are close when applying the water. What will happen down the road is the biggest question. Look at suntec's they are fracturing all over and its not even a thermal shock&FCU&,</p>

Hi Wrenches,<br><br>
We have a lot of border line temperatures here that will not quit melt
the snow off an array. We can lose production on a semi sunny, 28 degree
day. During such a day, I was looking at my frost free water faucet and
my array. Humm, I could easily hose the snow off.<br><br>
Is there a reason not to do that? Any ice or slush would not present a
problem. Is there a danger to the modules from doing that? <br><br>
Maybe this would even work on a sunny day when the temperatures were
colder? Could a module break? Anyone ever try this?<br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>
Drake <br><br>
