The need
Attorneys representing the plaintiffs in a class action brought against a solar electric power solution provider needed an expert in solar panels to strengthen their case. The class action claimed breach of express and implied warranty, fraud, and unfair competition. According to the complaint, a component of the panels failed due to a defect causing extreme heat which melted the electrical connections and rendered the panels useless. It was also alleged that the defendants failed to honor the panels’ warranty by replacing or reimbursing the plaintiffs for the panels and the costs associated with replacing them. The ideal expert would need to be experienced in the design, development, and construction of solar panels.
