Most of the concerns over quality center on China, home to the majority of the world˘s solar panel manufacturing capacity.

The article starts out saying this:
"The solar panels covering a vast warehouse roof in the sun-soaked Inland
Empire region east of Los Angeles were only two years into their expected
25-year life span when they began to fail."
Then the China bashing begins.
30 paragraphs later (many readers wouldn't make it this far) it admits
this:
"The defective panels installed on the Los Angeles area warehouse,.... were
made by an American manufacturer. A reporter was granted access to the
project on the condition that the parties˘ identities not be disclosed
because of a confidential legal settlement."
