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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
