Broken solar panel - can it be resurrected?

[Steadfast]

Perhaps, 
but I'd have to wait for a clear day with some direct sun...
happen to be home from work on that sunny day...
bust my ladder out and actually climb it...
unhook the non-broke one...
and shoot some photos of my Doc Wattson...

hmmmm....I'll see what I can do...

Don't hurry on my account, take care of those chicks! first.
Not much better than home based eggs!
'cept maybe having them over easy on toast with hot coffee near by
TGIF!

i cant say for SF's panels, but my recently installed broken evergreens (two series 195W w/ 18.?Vmp)  will put out between 6-7A with a 24v system.  i don't have an absolute ammeter on them, but can gauge quite a bit from where the ts-60 is dumping with the bank on float....  guessing they run at 60% max of rated output, but 40% when conditions are less than ideal...

broken panels are worth a go, especially if you aren't after super high results...  many times they can be had for free, and there's a few threads on here of people doing nothing to them....  guessing a non freezing climate!
