Solar PV Warranties Explained.
When investing in solar PV systems, warranties can be confusing. There are lots of opportunities to misunderstand what is being promised and it is important that you customers properly understand what they are purchasing.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the different types of solar panel warranties you can expect:
Solar Panel Performance Warranty
Solar panel electrical output degrades over time. Some solar panels degrade more quickly than others, this degradation can make a significant difference to your return on investment over the life of the system. A performance warranty guarantees that your solar panels will not degrade faster than a defined rate over their lifespan.
A common performance warranty is that the panel will produce at least 80% of their specified output after 25 years.
Some panels are warrantied to produce at least 87% over their output after 30 years. Over the life of the system this extra power can really add up.
Please be aware that complete product failures are covered by the product warranty and not the performance warranty.
Solar Panel Product Warranty
This product warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of your solar panels. This warranty typically lasts between 5 and 15 years, depending on the manufacturer. It ensures that any defective parts will be repaired or replaced, protecting your investment.
Inverter Product Warranty
Of all the components in your solar panel system the inverter warranty could be considered the most important. The inverter is the workhorse in your system, converting the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity used in your home. It is generally is expected to have a shorter life than the rest of the system. These warranties generally range from 5 to 12 years.
Installation Warranty
An installation warranty covers the quality and reliability of the installation process. This warranty usually lasts for 2-5 years and is designed to ensure the system is installed correctly and safely. Any issues with installation are likely to become known relatively quickly after the installation is complete. This warranty covers parts and labour associated with any repairs or rectification.
