The last post on your discussion forum, from the person identified as
BB, looks the most likely. The modules were large (250 W), corner
mounted, with plastic (instead of glass) "glazing." The panels were
able to flex under wind load, and damage the internal conductors. It
looks to me from the before photo, that the modules are already bowed
a bit. That could be an optical illusion.
That the "glazing" was plastic is evidenced by the fact that it
burned up. If the material was glass, it would not have
disintegrated the way it did.
