Removal of broken glass from solar panel

TL;DR

I'm looking to find a way to remove tempered glass that has been shattered from solar panels to make them viable once again.

I'm looking to find a way to remove tempered glass that has been shattered from solar panels to make them viable once again. I have no idea what kind of adhesive is used here, but I imagine it is some sort of epoxy. I've tried to peel it off with a pressure washer at the car wash to no avail. Any thoughts on a chemical process that would remove the glass pieces without destroying the panels themselves?

This website claims to have a simple repair method. I can't vouch for it.

These types of fixes are often reported as temporary, requiring maintenance after a year or two. I'm hoping that we've just yet to consider the pshysics/chemistry involved here, and can eventually find a way to start over as it were. I live in an area where a hail storm is probably the biggest natural disaster we face, and these panels could be found damaged for a dime a dozen.
