Dear Broken Glass Guys,
While I admire your bravery, I don't see how you could fix that panel and put
any kind of a warranty on it. I have replaced about 6 pieces of glass on
thermal panels and even that is such a pain in the butt I now recommend panel
switchouts. And thermal panels do not require nearly the functional perfection
PVs do. That said, this brings up a great point that PV manufactures and
perhaps the industry needs to address. Though not a commonality, PV panel
breakage is inevitable. I think the question best be turned over to the
manufactures. I can't see the answer coming from anywhere else.

Esteemed group:
I have a customer who called this week stating that their son hit a golf ball
in the backyard up on the roof and shattered one of the solar modules. The
system was installed in 2005 and the module is a Sanyo HIP-190BA19. I have not
been able to find a replacement as most sites list the module as discontinued.
The module is still functioning and I was wondering if anyone has taken a
module to a glazier for a glass replacement? Any other solutions are welcome.
Thanks.
Mike
