I couldn't find any evidence that something hit it. Could a close lightning struck have caused it? Manufacturing defect? This panel was replaced under warranty a year or so back due to a broken seal, so I wonder.
That was my first thought, but no stones anywhere near. The grass hadn't been cut in over a week. We were gone just three days. I understand there was a storm during that period (6/14-17) which is why I thought perhaps lightning was a factor. My neighbors said the wind wasn't particularly strong. I vote for defective product.
