Installing a solar power system has multifarious advantages among which the warranty for the different components makes it more worthwhile. Usually, the units have a long ‘lifetime’ and the manufacturers guarantee and warranty can make it prolonged. Solar panel installation is an investment that gives you more return on investment as the price rise of a grid is a continuous process over a period of time while the energy received from the sun is constant and is free.
As more and more house owners and business owners are turning to solar installation but knowing the manufacturer’s solar panel and solar inverter warranty to back up the complete system is a must thing.
The company provided warranties generally include 3 most important components in a proper PV installation – the panels, inverters and the batteries if you need them.
In most of the cases, the solar panels have warranties that ensure 80% performance rate for the upcoming 20 to 25 years. This is actually much beyond the time period provided for the other electronic appliances like car, generators etc. Moreover, some of the manufacturers provide segment warranties. The segmentation here means guaranteeing the best performance (90% efficiency) for the first 10 years. You must know that the actual lifetime of a solar power system at the most can be 30 to 40 years.
Now, coming to the solar inverter warranty
An inverter has the most significant role to play as it converts the DC electricity to AC electricity that is needed to meet the electrical needs of the appliances you use at your home. Some low-grade units have the least warranty of 2 years, while the high-quality inverters companies offer 10 to 15 years of performance warranty.
Next, the warranty for the batteries
One point that you must be wary of is faulty installation and defective components as it
automatically reduces the efficiency and durability of the complete system. So, try to get the installation done by a reliable and reputable company. Moreover, with the warranty, they provide free servicing and maintenance for the first year.
