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.
In my previous home, one of the glass shower doors literally exploded. Thank God no one was taking a shower. The manufacturer’s rep came out and said, we’ll get you a new one – no charge. When I asked what happened, he said this is tempered glass - sometimes they explode. What???
