While the solar panels have still been working fine, the control boxes and batteries have not been functioning properly, says Hatsady Sisoulath, deputy director general at the department of electricity with the ministry of energy and mines.
“The quality is very bad. The people are complaining,” Sisoulath tells Recharge.
He says that the solar systems were acquired from China and the stated quality of the product was in accordance to specifications, which are meant to give a lifespan of about 20 years.
