Types Of Solar Warranties And What They Cover

In the realm of solar energy, two crucial warranties, Product Warranty and Workmanship Warranty, play distinct yet complementary roles. The Product Warranty, similar to those accompanying consumer goods, assures the durability of solar components for a specified period. This includes the solar PV panels, inverters and solar batteries. In contrast, the Workmanship Warranty focuses on labor-related aspects of installation, guaranteeing correct design, assembly, and performance. It ensures that any defects arising from the installation process are promptly rectified at no cost. Together, these warranties provide a comprehensive shield for a reliable and enduring solar investment.

At Solstice Solar, we take pride in our unwavering commitment to quality and longevity. Our comprehensive warranty offerings encompass both product and workmanship guarantees.
