There are 3 key components when it comes to solar warranties: Installer workmanship, solar panel product/performance, and inverter.
Installer Workmanship
Solvest offers a standard 5-year workmanship warranty on all installations. We will provide technical support and fix any problems due to our work during this time. As a local northern company, we stand behind the quality of our work.
Inverter
10 to 12-year product warranties are standard for modern solar inverters. It is important to take a closer look as not all inverter warranties are equal. For example, Fronius Primo inverter warranties will cover materials, service, and transport. In other words, Fronius will cover the cost of fixing/replacing equipment, the cost of labour required to fix/replace equipment, and the cost of shipping equipment. APS's warranty only covers the cost of fixing/replacing equipment, but not the cost of labour or shipping.
Solar Panels
25-year performance and 12-year product warranties are standard for solar panels. The 25-year performance warranty will guarantee that the solar panels retain 80% to 85% of original efficiency at the end of the period. The 12-year product warranty ensures that the solar panels are free from manufacturing and workmanship defects during the period.
