Can you break solar panels?
There was a small solar biz where I work, and they closed down and, lo,
they put ten various solar panels out to the dumpster. I picked out two
Sanyo 195 W panels and put them in the Jeep. As I was loading, one of them dropped on its face. The surface looks a little crackly but I don't know if it was that way before. Some of the panels had holes, bent frames, etc. How do you mess up a solar panel? Is it simply a light-sponge that needs to be kept reasonably clean. BTW, we already have
a pair of 105W panels on the roof w/controller but we have four batts, so I thought another pair would be ideal.
Thanks
