Solar Industry Anxious Over Defective Panels

With the collapse of soil panel prices, some solar voltaic companies began to cut corners to save money leading to a significant increase in defective solar panels.  The longevity of solar panels is something I've always considered to be a key factor in long-term viability of affordable power from solar energy.  I guess its time for an organization like Consumer's Report to jump in and start testing panels and identify the junk.
