Summer temps get very hot here in San Diego (90+ F), and obviously panels get much hotter. I won't be able to avoid working during the heat of the day, most likely, so is there safe technique to gradually cool the panels with cold DI/RO water before dousing them? I'm thinking a first pass across all panels with a fan nozzle from a higher elevation to avoid thermal shock. I know I saw at least one person in a video in Arizona working panels in the direct sun and dismissing the whole notion that cold water cracks hot panels.
What is everyone's experience with this? Is the risk real, and how to avoid it, when you have to work in the full sun?
