<p>My cohort here that used to make PV modules thinks that

<p>module ? Maybe somebody weed-eating around the array and
something hit it ?</p>
<p>We notice the cracks in Ray's cells are white. Are the backs of
these modules white too ?</p>
<p>Interesting if they still work but if just a couple of cells
out of 60 or 70 are bad then it might</p>
<p>not be noticeable, electrically ?</p>

<div>I have seen this many times while servicing systems. I

I've had a colleague ask that I post a couple pictures of
what appears to be cracks in cells under the glass. The
glass is not damaged. These are Sun Edison modules, so
apparently no warranty. Has anyone seen this, and are
these possibly dangerous (hot spots) or is this nothing to
worry about? An Infrared camera did not show any issues.<br>
<br>
As always your invaluable input is always appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
