I make my own solar panels here in MN and the brownish discoloration is overheated flux/rosin from soldering the cells together. NOT RUST - Good job Jeff in the explaination of this.

In aerospace we are not allowed to use flux when soldering. It's been outlawed for 20 years at least. So you probably don't really need to use flux to make your solar panels. Try soldering without flux. Use a lower temperature solder or a higher temp iron if you need to. Flux contaminates the solder joints. That's why they outlawed it.

Nice vid Jeff. I don't see how a cable gets pulled loose from the panel. I would suggest maybe changing the cable connections on panels to have some type of stress relief so this kind of thing could not happen. The cable connection in the vid looks cut, or broken by moving the wire back and forth. To straight of an edge. Maybe this was done by the previous owner to help him with his claim that the panel was rusted. Rust color looks like solder oxidation. Awesome product.
Great job Jeff! I have watched a ton of your videos in doing research for my upcoming solar projects and am now convinced I will get my stuff from Missouri Wind and Solar.
