Solar Panel Warranty Explained

For solar newbies, solar panel warranties may be somewhat confusing because there are 2 distinct warranty conditions. As with most electronics, solar panels are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty — which protects against any damage caused by defective products or manufacturing processes. Solar cells have a secondary warranty condition known as a performance warranty that covers a small decrease in the performance of the battery over the lifetime of the system.

What is The Difference Between Solar Panel Performance and Product Warranty?

Solar warranties have two major types: performance warranties and product warranties. A performance warranty guarantees a system remains at a minimum degradation percentage. A product warranty guarantees solar cells' power generation capabilities.

Performance Warranty

A roof-mounted solar panel usually has high reliability, has no moving parts and requires little maintenance. Nonetheless, it is common to see solar panels suffer small degradation.

Typically, solar power panels operate in extreme conditions, including freezing winters to high summer temperatures and high humidity. Due to such extreme conditions, solar panel components experience minor damages due to various known phenomena.

Product Warranty

This product warranty protects customers against defective products resulting from manufacturing defects. Consequently, solar panels failing under warranty are either replaced or reimbursed. In general, manufacturers have a minimum warranty of 10–15 years, however, an increasing number of high-end producers offer product warranties of 15 to 20 years. Premier Improvements offers the industry’s longest and most trusted Warranty of 40 Years with a Maxeon Solar System.

Manufacturer Warranty Versus Solar Installer Warranty

Other solar installation providers may also provide additional warranties, or warranties in place of manufacturers’ warranties. Typically, these warranties are based upon the performance guarantee, which guarantees total solar production in your system, while manufacturers' warranties only provide a guaranteed capacity. It's an important difference.

Questions

Does homeowner's insurance offer the same coverage as Solar Panel Warranty?

Most often solar panels are installed as permanent components in homes. Many homeowners' coverages, therefore, overlap coverage. Nonetheless, it would be wise to find out whether your homeowner's policy has sufficient coverage. In most instances, homeowners insurance will protect against panel failure and may even cover expected performance levels. The coverage provided by an independent solar energy warranty is different from an additional warranty and is highly recommended based on value.

Can A Solar Panel Warranty really help me?

Solar Panels are designed to endure extreme weather conditions, but some problems still occur, so warranties offer critical protection to consumers who purchase solar panels.

How do I make a Warranty Claim?

You'll want to call Premier Improvements directly, who will arrange a test visit for you or remotely monitor your system. When there are faults with panels that are covered within the manufacturer's warranty period, then the installer will take care of that warranty claim. Depending on the solar installation, the installer should be able to inspect your system.
