The quality of solar tech varies immensely and it will likely take regulation to address some of these issues. But I do not think this is the primary concern here.

We put solar on our house and did some pretty rigorous research into the tech precisely because of this concern. After spending many nights/hours understanding the tech in this industry, I can confidently say it matters less about the current generation of solar tech. But, while the degree of quality in solar products exist, what really matters are the contractors that install it. I did not read the articles and I don't want to claim that there's direct causation by contractors, but if I were a betting man, I'd easily put money on the quality of the installation as opposed to the actual tech provided.
