Sanyo Solar Panels Delamination Settlement – Open Through 2029

A class action settlement resolves claims that certain Sanyo solar panels suffered from delamination — a manufacturing defect where protective encapsulant layers separate from photovoltaic cells, degrading power output over time. Homeowners and businesses with qualifying Sanyo panels may file claims for compensation through December 31, 2029.

Do I Qualify?

You may be eligible if:

• Homeowners or businesses that purchased and installed Sanyo solar panels experiencing delamination
• Delamination allows moisture to enter the panel, degrading power output and potentially creating safety issues
• Proof of panel purchase, installation, and the delamination defect is required
• Verify exact model numbers and installation date ranges at SanyoSolarClaims.com
• Claims may be filed through December 31, 2029

Proof required. You likely need proof of panel purchase and installation plus documentation of the delamination defect. Verify requirements at SanyoSolarClaims.com.

What Happened?

Sanyo was a major solar panel manufacturer (later acquired by Panasonic) known for its high-efficiency HIT technology. A class action alleged that certain Sanyo solar panels suffered from delamination — a manufacturing defect where the protective encapsulant layer separates from the photovoltaic cells, allowing moisture to enter and degrading power output over time.

Solar panel warranties typically run 25 years, meaning a defect discovered years after installation can represent significant financial loss for homeowners who financed or paid cash for a system expected to generate power for decades. The settlement remains open through 2029, covering both past and future delamination events.

Homeowners noticing declining panel performance or visible layer separation on Sanyo-installed systems should document the defect and verify model eligibility at the official settlement website.

How Much Will I Actually Get?

Compensation likely covers defective panel replacement costs or energy production losses — verify the exact payment structure at SanyoSolarClaims.com. With a deadline running through December 31, 2029, new claimants can file as panels fail over the coming years during the warranty period.
