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 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.
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.
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.

They could still explain it better than making it a political
statement which is how I saw it.
