This Company's Faulty Solar Panels Could Net You a Payout: Everything to Know

Sanyo-brand solar panels had a defect not covered under warranty, but now you can get things resolved thanks to an ongoing settlement.

Did you ever buy Sanyo brand solar panels or move into a property that already had them installed? Well, you might want to check them for a defect known as "delamination," which might qualify you for a settlement payout or full replacement of the panels.

Sanyo has been kicking around the electronics market for a long time, making everything from transistor radios to TVs to solar panels for decades. Founded in Japan in the 1940s, it was acquired by Panasonic in 2009 and formally dissolved into that consumer electronics giant by 2011.
