I have had six Vortex 4x12 panels on my roof for 12 years. They are starting to leak at the header joint. The leaking started at about the 10 year time, when the warrantee expires. The leaks are very fine cracks in the header joint. I have been able to patch with ABS cement. However the panels are very sturdy and have survived high winds very well. I will probably buy another set if the repair problems become too great.
