Hello every one, this is my second thread in this forum and i would like to see a really good closeup of the cells of your commercially installed panels. It would also be really nice to state the make of the panels. What i am really interested is to see if the cells of the high quality brands have small burns at the sides. My father installed 12 panels from an Israeli company last month and the cells have burns on them. I also purchased some cells from ebay and taiwan which they also have burns.

    I have never seen burned/chipped cells in commercial solar panels (i.e., glass panels assembled and installed).

    Buying "bare cells" -- You run the risk of getting "seconds" and rejects.
