2) the installer?

This seems corroborating. It has GOT to be the same situation:

literally
Search the page for "solar" to get to the crux of it, and .
P.S. Tempered glass won't melt, but clear plastic goop poured over
the top of silicon cells (which can be seen littering the roof) will
melt. These are probably homemade modules. What I see on the charred
roof is consistent with plastic encapsulated modules burning and
melting. Also, the racking is consistent with the first pre-fire
photo.
These poor folks really got taken to the cleaners by their
"installer" which MUST BE STOPPED.

I may be very wrong here and I don’t mean to impugn anyone’s
integrity, but don’t forget that in this era of digital animation
movies you can’t always believe what you see in a photo either.
(I'm sure no one here has ever Photoshopped a photo to make it more
presentable looking.) I couldn't help but notice that the bottom
right corner of the photo was surprisingly blurry and indistinct.
It is difficult to distinguish one thing from the next, when just a
few feet away but out of the range of detail in the photo, things
seemed to be much clearer. I’ve never seen a photo look like
that in reality. It’s as if the roof and array have mysteriously
melted together. Also, I have never seen tempered glass melt in a
low temperature fire. If it were a high temperature fire the roof
would not have survived. I think that a great deal of caution is
warranted especially considering the lack of detail that the poster
is giving about the panels, location, installer/supplier, existence
of another array etc.

One detail I haven't heard mentioned yet and am curious about - the
photo of the fire damage appears to show the corner of another
west(?)-facing array. I find it curious that the system owner
described a 2 kW system made up of eight 250W(!) modules, which are
clearly visible in the topmost system photo.
There's just a whole lot that doesn't jive in this whole story.
Scary to me.
