Most of the concerns over quality center on China, home to the majority of the worldοΏ½s 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 partiesοΏ½ identities not be disclosed

because of a confidential legal settlement."

When companies are so secretive I start to wonder what percentage of their product is actually made in the U.S.
