Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a textured solar panel;



FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view thereof;



FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof;



FIG. 7 is a front, bottom, and left side perspective view thereof;



FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the section indicated by callout circle 8 in FIG. 7; and,



FIG. 9 is a further enlarged view of the section indicated by callout circle 9 in FIG. 8.


The evenly spaced broken lines shown in the figures are for the purpose of illustrating portions of the textured solar panel that form no part of the claimed design. The dot-dash lines in the figures form a circle and lead line ending in a number that corresponds to the area shown in the figure having that number. The dot-dash lines form no part of the claimed design.


Claims
  • The ornamental design for a textured solar panel, as shown and described.
