Solar Man Australia operates with standard company policy to protect your system. However – it’s the most important thing that each customer should know about it and should understand the difference between a solar panel performance warranty and a solar panel product warranty. Noway Every or most solar panels are having a products warranty of 10-12 year, and 25 years of performance warranty. But the different comes between product’s warranty and performance warranty are— The product warranty is to cover defective materials or workmanship in the manufacture of the panel. It is provided by the manufacturer of the panel, not the solar installation company. It is critical to realize that most companies that talk up a “25-year warranty” are talking about the performance warranty, which is essentially a warranty that will guarantee that a solar panel will only degrade in performance by a small % per year. This means that any faults due to poor workmanship or materials can be argued by the panel manufacturer to be only covered under the product warranty. A panel performance warranty is virtually worthless compared to the all-important product warranty, but some unscrupulous installers will imply that the 25-year performance warranty will protect a homeowner from defective panels. Interestingly – under Australian Consumer Law you may be covered for 25 years no matter what the small print of the panel performance warranty says.
