<p class="MsoNormal">We had a pretty serious weather event and one of my clients had hail broken glass. I advised him to request a replacement of the whole array or, if not, a module by module inspection for I-V curves and hot spots. I am wondering if should
reach out to other clients. I don't want to be a storm chaser, but am concerned about micro-fractures.
