Just obtained four new Canadian Solar 430 watt bi-facial panels with several hairline cracks on the back side, the fronts are in mint condition. I have read some older posts that mention using clear epoxy to seal the cracks. Does anyone have successful experience with this method or another and what particular products work best? I understand that there is a certain amount of risk in using such panels, so save the safety lectures. My roommate has had a 200watt cracked on top panel, on the ground, in the weather, outside his bedroom for 3 years, without a problem. Not a recommended use, but a telling experience.
