“Solar photovoltaic companies did not appear to be adequately de-rating their electrical components for heat when I worked in the field.”
― Steven Magee

“Many solar photovoltaic designers have built systems based on the electrical ratings on the solar module, not realizing that a solar module can put out far more current than what its electrical label states!”
― Steven Magee

“Solar photovoltaic systems that have been designed by what the solar photovoltaic module electrical ratings states for its current should be expected to overheat and possibly go on fire.”
― Steven Magee

“Undersized solar photovoltaic circuits that have not been de-rated for heat are known to spontaneously go on fire.”
― Steven Magee

“The most disappointing of the jobs I had was the ‘Green’ solar photovoltaic industry. I had three jobs in the field. Two of them had a constant pressure to work very long hours. I remember my neighbor commenting that he would see me leave for work in the dark and come home in the dark! One of the jobs had completely overloaded me with the work of many workers and refused my daily requests for more staff! I left the ‘Green’ industry and have never pursued another job in it.”
― Steven Magee

“Things must be getting bad in the solar photovoltaic industry if they are now required to install solar module level DC shutdown systems!”
― Steven Magee
