Solar installations in UK: often poor work, failing transformers
Neil Propert, project leader at Johnson & Philips (UK) has an interesting article in Net zero Watch: Built to fail: The silent crisis in green energy infrastructure.
He describes that workmanship in building the installations is often poor, and the engineers doing this work hastily instructed. Often the transformers are badly built, so that the vastly changing intermittent solar power causes rapid problems.
Building standards that exist are not enforced, and often ownership has changed when the first problems show up.
