What's the Sanyo Solar Panel Class Action Settlement?

A class action settlement has been agreed to with Sanyo Energy, the manufacturer of a popular brand of solar panels for residential and commercial buildings. This class action lawsuit, Ziccarello v. Sanyo Energy (U.S.A.) is about specific Sanyo-brand solar panels model series that allegedly "delaminate" over time, leading to power loss.

The lawsuit claims that the defendants did not correctly apply a limited power warranty for these "delaminated" solar panels and did not take electrical measurements of the power output after receiving warranty claims. The class action settlement applies to the following solar panels:

• Sanyo HIP-xxxBA2
• Sanyo HIP-xxxBA3
• Sanyo HIP-xxxBA5

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The total settlement amount has not explicitly provided by the class action administrators or the courts. However, the solar panel settlement provides for replacement Sanyo panels or prorated cash refunds for qualifying solar energy panels.

How Do I Qualify For a Payout?

To potentially qualify for a payout, you must be a class action member who owns one or more qualifying Sanyo solar panels for which the 20-year Power Warranty has not expired.

The solar panels must show clear visible evidence of damage, and you must not have already received compensation or another warranty or settlement remedy for the panels in your claim. Additionally, none of the warranty exclusions that apply to the 20-year Power Warranty should apply to the panels in your claim.
