A clear acryllic polymer can be purchased at a hobby store (i.e. one that sells model airplane stuff) that is cheap and readily sprayed on the surface. It will extend a broken module's life for some time, and as Ron pointed out, they make for good gifts to schools and science clubs.

Cost about $50/panel. I've seen modules 25 years old with bullet holes through them that are still functioning, albeit at a much lower output. There's always someone looking for a deal or a gift.
