Insurance Claims for Solar Panel Defects
Recent reports of a quality crisis in the solar panel industry, following years of exploding growth and intense price pressure, have raised the specter of a wave of litigation. The most notable source of such allegations is a recent New York Times article (“Solar Industry Anxious over Defective Panels,” May 28, http://nyti.ms/1alDtFY), in which reporter Todd Woody cited multiple reports of double-digit defect rates for installed components.
While aggregate industry figures are hard to come by, industry participants have not denied that problems exist. In response to the Times article, SolarWorld, which claims to be the largest U.S. solar panel manufacturer, warned that “without urgent attention, reports of increasing defects among crystalline silicon solar panels could undermine low and stable defect rates that the industry achieved in mass production beginning in the 1970s.” See http://yhoo.it/18sefQC%20'(last viewed Sept. 4, 2013).
