Hi harold,
Misinformation seems to be happening. Uni-solar panels have been around for years. Some thin film do deteriorate. They should be avoided. Uni-solars do not fail any sooner than glass covered panels and are less susceptible to impact damage than a glass covered panel. The point is moot, for as you correctly pointed out Unisolar doesn't produce panels any more.
I disagree about why they went under. I believe it was because of foreign based factories using the technology and design that Uni-solar developed and undercutting the price.
