Two solar warranties are available on most residential and commercial Solar Panels.
PRODUCT WARRANTY
This warranty will safeguard the user from defects in design, materials, artistry, or manufacturing. The contract typically comes into effect when the identified deficiencies result in declining power output. The typical duration of this warranty is between 15 and 20 years.
POWER OUTPUT WARRANTY
The purpose of this warranty is to protect users from losing power production. The contract is usually stated as a percentage of the power output the manufacturer guarantees over the specified time. It is typically around 80 percent power output over 25 years. It is also the one that is provided by the majority of manufacturers and industry professionals since it’s the more expensive of the two.
Understanding the difference and the most suitable combination is an essential factor to consider when selecting the right Solar Panel for your system. We’re here to help you understand these warranties and assist you in making an informed decision.
SOLAR INVERTER WARRANTY
The majority of solar PV inverters are sold with a 12-year warranty. Nearly all manufacturers permit customers to extend the contract from 12 years to 25 at a meager cost of about $300-$400.
POWER OPTIMIZER / MICRO INVERTER WARRANTIES
Most of the time, power optimizers, as well as micro-inverters, can be the components that fail in solar-powered panels. The good thing is that they are simple to replace and are covered by a lengthy warranty of 25 years. The majority of reputable hardware companies provide this warranty as standard.
