Solar Panels Legal Investigation

Location: CA

About the Investigation:

You May be Entitled to Compensation

Do you live near a Power Station, Energy Facility, or other building or property that generates smoke, steam, or excessive dust? Do you have solar panels?

If yes, you may be entitled to COMPENSATION.

The attorneys at Siri & Glimstad are investigating the effects of smoke, steam, excessive dust, and water vapor generated by neighboring properties (including industrial buildings, nuclear, coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other power plants and stations, agricultural properties, or other businesses) which may block sunlight to solar panels.

Did you know that the power produced by a solar panel is closely related to the amount of sunlight present? In direct sunlight, solar panels operate at peak performance by absorbing photons from the sun. Direct sunlight is essential for solar panels to reach their maximum output capacity and prime electrical output.

Shade from smoke, steam, dust, or even water vapor can greatly impact the efficiency of solar panels, leading to a reduction in performance and electrical production potential.

According to a 2023 Solar Power World article, Dr. Long Zhao studied the effects of wildfire smoke. His research, conducted over a two-year period, revealed that widespread smoke can reduce the output of solar panels by almost 50%. This can occur even when smoke is at high altitudes.

While the list below is not exhaustive, it represents examples of the types of properties or facilities that the attorneys at Siri & Glimstad are investigating:

  • Nuclear Power Plants or Nuclear Generating Station
  • Coal Power Plants
  • Natural Gas Power Stations
  • Petroleum Power Stations
  • Energy Storage Facilities
  • Biomass Power Stations
  • Biogas Power Stations
  • Energy Facilities
  • Cogeneration Plants
  • Geothermal Power Stations
  • HydroElectric Power Stations
  • Powerhouses
  • Pumped Storage Power Stations
  • Industrial Technology Complexes
  • Industrial Buildings
  • Dairy Farms
  • Livestock Farms
  • Commercial Farms
  • Restaurants

If you (1) have solar panels, (2) live within a few miles of a facility or property like the ones listed above that emit smoke, steam, dust, or water vapor, and (3) the emissions began occurring after you installed your solar panels, we would like to speak to you. There is no cost to consult with us and you may be entitled to substantial compensation.
