Scratches on Solar Panel below the glass

Just got this panel from Solar Blvd and it has these two scratches below the glass. Should I be concerned?

    ^^^^Pretty much "nails it".....I'd call them, send them a picture and expect two more, without scratches, or whatever it is.....

  • sure looks like a section of the cells have a fracture in the picture you provide.
  • if the scratches are on the inside of the glass
    I would not be concerned

    IF they are on the 'solar cells' under the glass, then i would call them about an exchange/replacement
