Hi Mick,
Would match some Kyocera's that I've seen before.

Set the dials on the Wayback Machine, Wrenches!
The modules which I wish to identify had bright blue polycrystal
square cells, before the yellowing and discoloration occurred.
They are 50' high on a 12:12 metal roof, and 45 minutes from the
nearest emergency room. I am not anxious to make that climb but a
friendly helper was going up anyway, so he took some photos.
Unfortunately, the labels could not be read or photographed.
Dimensions of the frames are, sadly, unavailable.
There is one telltale clue, however, which will no doubt yield the
Correct Answer from one of the Mechanics: The junction boxes are
round with a bayonet mount cover that rotates to liberate the cover.
The boxes are big and deep. (I hate to mention that because some of
us liked things better when we had big and deep junction boxes, and
I don't want this thread to go off topic.)
My own guess is Kyocera brand, possibly earlier than the venerable
K-51. Alas, my little gray cells are not what they used to be, so
I'm polling the group. The yellowing does point away from my own
guess because I had not seen that on Kyocera brand, nor on other
polycrystal brands.
All Correct Respondents have my permission to take the rest of the
day off! Bonus Points if a Correct Respondent can also state
approximate time of manufacture.
Thanks for helping,
Mick Abraham, Proprietor
