Common Solar Panel Defects

Solar PV project underperformance is a growing issue for solar energy system owners. According to Raptor Maps data from analyzing 24.5 GW of large-scale solar systems in 2022, underperformance from anomalies nearly doubled from 2019 to 2022, from 1.61% to 3.13%. Solar panel underperformance from equipment-related downtime and solar panel defects is increasingly common as PV systems age. Unfortunately, these issues have a substantial financial cost.
