The CEC says major non-conformances in its testing program that weren&#8217;t addressed by the manufacturer means a range of corrective actions would be required before this could occur.<\/p>\n<p>For installers and customers with BLD solar panels who are chasing warranty claims, the CEC advises local company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/installer-review\/alliance-solar\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Alliance Solar<\/a> was listed as the importer of Zhejiang BLD panels.
