Kirk,
Double check those connectors very closely. On our other projects,
Canadian solar doesn't use MC4 connectors - they use PV2 which we found
does not mate well with MC4.

Thanks for that Allan,
I should add that there does not appear to be any cracking of the cell

I agree with Allan that this looks like cracked cells. As long as the

Before offering my opinion, I'll note that it's only that, and I'd
