What a load of crap. I'm on a stand alone solar system. Not connected to the grid at all. Consistently get temps over 40c in summer and my system hasn't failed once in 5 years/summers.Got the system checked by a technician last year just as routine maintenance and he said it was all in excellent condition.
I haven't looked it into too much regarding to personal home solar systems but I do know that in Florida they do hold up despite the high heat temps we experience. Basically if you are using the power to heat your water, appliances or basics electronics you should be fine IMO.
I'm in Aus. In summer I find my batteries are fully charged by about 9 am ,in winter by about 11 am. I use gas for hot water but run 2 water pumps,a household of the normal appliances like washing machine ,fridges ,dryer ,TV ,modem ,charge my appliances etc .Plus we have a man shed/ granny flat out back and it runs that as well.
Even a day like today where we have a severe weather warning for intense winds, thunderstorms and a lot of rain and it's very dull/ overcast I'm still getting a 1.3 kw charge.

They didn't say the panels failed. They said their efficiency was reduced.
