Hidden Defects Exposed: What's Really Inside US Solar Panels? A new report from Clean Energy Associates (CEA) reveals that some newly launched solar module factories are experiencing yield rates as low as 30% during early production ramp-up — meaning up to 70% of modules require rework before shipment. In this episode of Clean Power Hour Live, Tim Montague and John Weaver unpack what these findings mean for solar developers, EPCs, installers, and asset owners sourcing modules in today’s rapidly expanding domestic manufacturing market.
