Title: New PV 100Wmax one thick aluminum track not properly connected ?!
Post by: szan on September 04, 2022, 06:12:25 pm

Hello,
I've brand new PV 100Wmax 1000mm x 670mm solar panel, but I've discovered such crack in one place - one thick aluminum track not properly connected ?!  :o
Does it affect somehow its overall performance or it doesn't matter, since it looks like there are other thinner connections ?  :-//

Return it if you can, looks like that part of the track wasn't bonded or is debonding.
