Wow, so sad that we have gone mainstream to be a victim of tagging knuckleheads!

Benn,

            Ouch, that looks like quite a job.  Definitely looks like an airgun/airbrush job, probably acrylic.  After the cleaning, put up a wildlife camera just in case.

Bill,  

It’s white, does that help? ;) 

Kidding aside, I couldn’t tell you precisely what type of paint they used. 

These are CSI mods and their manual doesn’t mention using anything other than water and a “gentle cleaning implement” (soft sponge, for example). I have seen some module manuals mention using a mild soap. 





I’m going to see what Canadian Solar suggests but this group is always worth checking with.

Help us with this Benn.  Are we talking spray paint, airgun, acrylic, crayon, lipstick......?  Recently, due to not having any rain for 3.5 months in  smokey with ash No. California, I referred to the REC website for cleaning PVs and they didn't suggest anything stronger than  a solution of "a mild biological and biodegradable washing-up liquid may be used on the panels".  They did go on to say for stubborn areas that 10% iso-propyl alcohol could be used.
