I recently purchased a home with solar panels. At my first attempt to use the system there were multiple pinhole leaks in one of the panels.
This particular panel brand (Vortex) can not be plugged, and is considered a "throw away" panel once damaged. I find it hard to believe there is no other way to plug the leaks, so I was hoping someone could help. I have read other posts regarding this matter, and there isn't that much info out there. There are several threads about epoxy failure. Some have recommended a plastic welder, but that is a little above and beyond what I can accomplish.
I read something about drilling screws into the panel, but I'm not exactly sure what that meant or how that would seal the leak. Any insight into that or any other methods would be truly appreciated.
