I agree with the statement that solar panels are getting bigger and bigger but the protection glass is prone to cracks and breakages especially during transporting. Need to control it’s size.

Could the glass be made in a oval form like a magnifying glass thickining at the middle or make the glass with the same concept as a 3D picture with different angles as you look at it

This report didn’t mention the country of origin of these solar panels where the glasses spontaneously breaks. I’ve traveled to China more than 50 times over the last 20 years, and I can assure you that the Chinese are simply cheating by making thinner, glass and glass that does not meet Standards. I’ve probably visited more than 100 different factories, including a dozen making photovoltaic products.. Most of them were conscientious and tried to make good products. However, in the last 10 years tensions between the US and China have escalated over the South China Sea and the Chinese are doing whatever they can to increase their market share. Often this includes selling products below cost or cheating on recognized industry standards to gain sales.

This article once again proves solar panels just aren’t right and safe for producing energy. During construction of these so-called solar panel fields, the natural environment is destroyed. Then when the “fields” are put into operation the great potential for eternal damage to the environment exists. Other than money to the landowner, no positive impact will occur to the surrounding landowners. Let’s get behind this effort and do what is necessary to kick the solar fields out of our backyard.

Would be better article if you identified specific panels that tend to break.

What’s going to happen to all the damaged solar panels ? And when they stop working? A solar land fill!
