I think these modules are about 12 years old. I didn't have a voltmeter
or ammeter with me this morning when this was discovered so I wasn't
able to check the output.

Found some damage to a customer's Grape CS-S-180-DJ PV modules this
morning. Unlike anything I've ever seen; so I'm hoping that someone
on this list can tell me the cause. I've put several photos of the
cells online

so you can inspect them. While it looks like there has been some
localized heating on the traces, there isn't any evidence of damage
on the rear of the PV modules. These are on an off grid system
charging some 12-volt batteries. Thanks.
