<p>Not baffling at all. I’m just referring to recent residential installations where MLPE is reaching 90% (or more) implementation.

<p>I have to agree its still a pretty major undertaking to go through the entire warranty claim. If you haven't actually had to go through the entire process from truck roll(s) to waving the failed PVs good-bye on the loading dock, shipped at your expense,
it may not seem so daunting and expensive. But it is, many times complicated by not being supplied with matching (electrically and physically) PVs. I am baffled by the statement:"<i>you can often get a claim accepted without a site visit, or at a minimum
a drive by to check the status of the modules</i>", maybe that's an assumption that there are no string inverters without MLPE's in the field anymore.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> We'll be filing your contact info in the event we ever have to do a warranty claim with REC. I too hope that day doesn't come, again.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure that a PhD dissertation is required for a successful performance warranty claim. For most claims, the manufacturer needs to verify just a few things; 1. Is it one of their modules? (verified with a serial number) 2. Is the
module broken? (verified by an image of the module) 3. Is the module shaded? (verified by an image of the array, indicating where the claimed module is), 4. Is the module not performing to spec? (verified with a Voc and Isc check, or module level info
from the MLPE). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A lot can be learned from the MLPE on a solar module. Many manufacturers will accept individual module voltage and current readings form the monitoring platform for warranty claims (free). Couple that with and image of the module to determine
if it is broken, and a view of the array to understand if the module is not shaded and that can potentially be an inexpensive warranty claim. Where things go sideways is when a customer wants a module replaced because they see it is performing at less than
the rest of the modules in the array, and does not want to investigate any further. Do just a minor amount of logical remote troubleshooting (individual modules voltage and current, compared to the spec sheet and neighboring modules) and you can often get
a claim accepted without a site visit, or at a minimum a drive by to check the status of the modules.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Module manufacturers are very interested in warranty claims as they use the failure analyses to feed back into their product improvement program. So I’m not sure it is wise to lump all manufacturers in with one bad actor.
