Warranties for solar panels, inverters, and chargers are like insurance for the renewable energy sector. Just as you wouldn’t drive a car without insurance, it’s crucial to understand these warranties before delving into solar power.
This warranty ensures your solar panels will last at least 25 years. Typically, they'll only lose 10% of their performance in the first decade, then another 10% over the next 15 years. Most solar panel manufacturers offer this industry-standard warranty.
This guarantee covers issues caused by faulty materials or construction during panel manufacturing. Make sure your panels come with at least a 10-year product warranty, offering you peace of mind.
The inverter warranty is crucial as inverters are prone to failure due to high voltage and constant operation. Usually, inverters come with a 5-year warranty, but some manufacturers offer an extension to 10 years for added reassurance.
This warranty is also important, covering potential charges in case of breakdowns or system malfunctions. Understand the terms to avoid unexpected costs.
Performance Guarantees
Solar panels usually come with a performance guarantee ensuring a certain level of energy generation. Underperformance is a common issue due to factors like shade, dirt buildup, or manufacturing defects.
Warranty Length
Solar panel warranties typically include a product warranty (10 to 25 years) and a performance guarantee (at least 80% capacity over 25 years). Understanding these terms and durations is crucial.
Transferability
Check if your solar panel warranty can be transferred to the new owner if you sell your property. Some manufacturers allow transfers, while others don't.
Gather important paperwork like the purchase agreement, installation records, and manufacturer's warranty certificate.
Reach out to the solar panel manufacturer's customer care or warranty department. They'll guide you through the process and may ask for evidence of the issue.
The manufacturer might arrange a site inspection in certain cases to assess the situation.
If your claim is approved, the manufacturer will decide whether to repair or replace the panels based on the problem's severity.
Stay on top of your case by checking in with the manufacturer regularly. Don't hesitate to ask questions or request updates.
Securing your solar panel warranty is crucial for safeguarding your investment and supporting a sustainable future. Choose high-quality components, expert installation, regular maintenance, and attentive monitoring to prolong your panels' lifespan and reap financial and environmental benefits.
