Since over 600,000 solar panels did not reach their 25+ years end of lifespan. And that&#;s in Europe alone!
All these solar panels had to be recycled by PV Cycle and they are only the tip of the iceberg..
How did uninformed purchasing affect the solar businesses that bought over 600,000 malfunctioning panels?
Many companies, which started in the solar industry, have been crushed by mistakes and information gaps when purchasing solar panels and went out of business.
They&#;ve been badly affected by costly technical data frauds, useless warranties, inappropriate insurance coverage, unsafe packing, severe quality problems and other purchasing-related problems..
We don&#;t want this to happen to your company!
We are Dricus and Niclas and in the past 8 years we have both worked in the solar energy industry in Asia:
After purchasing 350MW+ of solar panels, setting up a PV factory in China and running a PV Quality assurance and consultancy company, we have seen all the good and ugly practices of solar panel manufacturers in this part of the world..
Since the early years, we helped a growing number of companies from all over the world to buy quality solar panels in China, Malaysia, Taiwan and other parts of Asia and provide technical and quality consultancy for a large variety of PV projects.
In those years, when the PV industry in the Far East was at infancy, a lot of low quality panels were produced&#; well, you can more precisely call them rubbish.
And this even from manufacturers that nowadays call themselves Tier 1&#;
For us, advising and insisting on best practices, risks and quality dangers has been tough, not only because most manufacturers don&#;t have any idea about professional quality control, but cheap panels and thus quick money for both suppliers and buyers have been king.
Consequently, many solar panel buyers have been falling victim to frauds from suppliers, chose wrong cell technologies for their projects, lost time and money with improper logistics arrangements or received containers full of broken panels with no warranty to cover this.

Through our yearlong work, we came across numerous pitfalls&#; and also found that the majority of solar panel buyers lacked essential insights from boots on the ground that could have prevented costly mistakes early on.
In many cases, we were contacted in the aftermath to troubleshoot and helped solving these complex problems before they could even turn into the death sentence of their businesses.
No doubt: things have improved in the past decade, though unfortunately not changed.
Product cheating, scams, forged performance data, fraudulent documents or obscure suppliers are still the order of solar panel purchasing business.
We still witness and combat these every week&#;
In this context, we have been receiving lots of enquiries asking us to create a guide that covers the complex multitude of dangers and traps and explain strategies to prevent them.
As the enquiries grew in numbers, we finally decided to turn our experience into a comprehensive
