Wrenches,
I have a customer with one SW 230 poly V2.0 frame (top mount) module that has shattered glass. It is on a DPW TPM10 pole mount. She noticed it the other day and does not think that it was hit by anything. I agree that is unlikely based on the site conditions. Other than by a falling tree, thrown rock, or twisted frame - is there another way that glass shatters on a 65 degree tilted pole mount like this? We installed the system 2 years ago. The module was on the lower corner of the array. . Is it likely that this modules frame was being pressured by the module(s) above it? TPM has two rows of 5 modules in landscape, so this bottom module has 4 modules mounted above it. Again it is a top mounted DPW pole array. . Or, is there another way that glass shatters on this type of module? I have not visited the site yet, just received the phone call today.
