While washing off my panels today, I noticed that one panel has a burn mark where a snail trail ends.
I have not noticed any difference in production and nothing out of the ordinary. Is this something of concern?
This was part of a pallet of panels I got from Santan Solar.

Here's another picture of the affected area zoomed in.

I'd definitely ditch the burned ones. I have some old panels with the snail trails but I've never had one have burn marks from it.
 
I have the exact same panels. Failed back sheet deal from santan. Paid like $22.00 a panel or something 3 years ago.

They are working fine but thanks for the heads up. I'll check mine closer after seeing this.

I did apply sealant to the cracks though they are in an extremely corrosive environment.
