Typical...

There's a reason the big energy producers never jumped on this bandwagon, preferring instead to let someone else do it.

I see data showing increasing numbers of complaints. I don't see where they take into account the increasing number of installations, or the increasing age of the previously installed solar panels. In other words, this is exactly what I would expect to see for a realatively new product with increasing sales.

New York seems like an especially terrible place for rooftop solar
panels.

When GW clears out all the traditionally gloomy weather, things should start to look up.

Sounds like they're charging for energy use in addition to 'leasing' the panels themselves. That's a new one on me. Unless they can show panel life is a function of cumulative energy output, someone is getting ripped off. The fact that panels degrade is not new. The one technology I'm familiar with, the CdTe, estimates at -10% at 20 years. It's not linear in time. The degradation hits a knee and then nosedives comparatively speaking, from what I can gather.

The sun angle won't change much. It may still snow in the winter.

In other words, this is exactly what I would expect to see for a relatively new product with increasing sales.

The current generation of solar cells produced in high volume is more efficient that the previous generation and lasts longer. A lot of old Australian rooftop solar just gets dumped and replaced - it pays to move up to a new higher yielding panel - particularly if you put in your own battery at the same time, and store your excess production rather than selling it back to grid for peanuts.

Some parts of upstate NY get a lot of snow. Meanwhile Southeastern New
England definitely isn't upstate New York or Canada, it's often the case
that fall and early winter are the driest and sunniest times of the year
here.

November and December recently have been downright balmy, ironically I'm
expecting December to be a much sunnier month than this past July when
it rarely stopped raining.

I think they know about that and have heaters powered by battery storage to melt it. This is certainly a consideration for the big grid-tied farms. Don't know about residential rooftop, it should be an option.

The article says nothing about why they stopped production except for
higher temperatures which MAY (or may not) mean the PV Vmp dropped
lower than the inverter(s) needed. That would be a design issue.

The article is obviously written for dumbshits that know nothing about
photovoltaics.

No mention of even microinverters vs string inverters.

The article is fairly useless as far as education. That's the media
for ya.

There have been problems reported here about solar panels being destroyed in fires,
in hail storms and other mechanical damage causes
where the glass splinters posed a danger to human beings.

It's Time Magazine, not IEEE Spectrum. Their readers would not be interested in those details. They would be interested to learn the industry is dominated by fly-by-night businesses.

The media doesn't dumb down society. The media just serves their customers, and a lot of those customer like their news dumbed down so they don't have to work hard to make sense of it. Fox News caters to an audience which prefers lies to truth.

The US Food and Drug Adminstration stops greedy capitalist from making money out of selling products that actually damage the people who buy them.

An intellectual equivalent would shut down Fox News immediately.

If you want want a better product from the media you can buy it - I subscribe to the New Yorker and the New Scientist.

The media isn't any kind of monolith.

Right. You libtards would have a hard-on if Fox was "shut down". Fox News is the ONLY network exposing the Lyin' Biden for all of his criminal activities, as well as his failures on the border and Afghanistan, along with rampant crime in the US.

Probably not. It has knowingly lied to public - repeating Donald Trump's outright lies about the stolen election.

> Fox News is the ONLY network exposing Joe Biden for all of his criminal activities, as well as his failures on the border and Afghanistan, along with rampant crime in the US.

None of which actually exist. Telling Trump supporters those lies keeps them happy and watching Fox News, but they are lies.

every news channel has repeated misinformation at times. It would be oddly dishonest & foolish to pretend only one ever has.

https://apnews.com/article/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trial-trump-2020-0ac71f75acfacc52ea80b3e747fb0afe

Nobody else seems to have had to settle a lawsuit by paying out $800 million dollars. Fox News seems to have been unusually dishonest and foolish and
Tabby seems to be too dim to have noticed.
