Solar Roof Tile Fire Hazard – Consumer Product Recall

Some of these types of tile have been recalled

Presently there is U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission – Recall Alert

 

If you have or purchased a home with Solar Roof tiles this information is for you.

A number of 34 and 50 Watt solar roof tile solar systems which look similar the one pictured above have been recalled due to a fire safety hazard due to lose MC3 connectors.

If your roof contains the recalled products you should have been notified; however if this is news to you, a website and a phone line have been set up with information that may be helpful.

The website is http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12725.html and the toll free phone number is 855 498-9441.

The latest information indicates that the 50 Watt panels “may” be warranted &/or corrected by the manufacturer. However, many of the 34 Watt product customers are having to resolve the problem on their own and turn off their system until the problem is corrected.

Check out the website above and call the toll free number.
