Today, most home solar energy systems include three primary coverages: product warranties, performance guarantees, and installation warranties. 1. Product warranties A solar product warranty covers the physical components of your system, such as the panels, inverters, or batteries.
Also known as a materials warranty, a solar panel product warranty covers the integrity of the equipment itself. If any of your solar panels have a defect or mechanical issue, if they break or fracture, or experience unreasonable wear and tear, that's when your product warranty comes into play.
Workmanship warranties can differ widely between solar companies, with coverage typically lasting anywhere between 1 to 10 years, depending on your installer. While inclusions vary between providers, most workmanship warranties will cover installation-related issues such as wiring, roof penetrations, and improperly installed components.
Most solar panel warranties won't reimburse for labor costs associated with installing new equipment or shipping fees for replacement parts.
