Solar Panel Warranties—What You Need to Know.

Solar warranties can feel a bit like a maze—lots of fine print, different terms, and easy misunderstandings. That’s why it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting when you invest in a solar PV system.

Here’s a clear, no-nonsense breakdown of the key warranty types you should look out for—so you can buy with confidence and peace of mind.

Solar Panel Performance Warranty

All solar panels slowly lose efficiency over time—but not all panels age equally. A performance warranty guarantees your panels won’t degrade faster than a certain rate, protecting your long-term savings.

Most panels are backed to still produce at least 80% of their original output after 25 years. Higher-end panels may be warrantied to deliver 87% or more after 30 years—and that extra power over time can really boost your return on investment.

Just a heads-up: if a panel completely fails or stops working, that’s covered under the product warranty, not the performance guarantee.

Solar Panel Product Warranty

This warranty covers the nuts and bolts—literally. It protects you against faults in the materials or manufacturing of your solar panels. Depending on the brand, product warranties typically last 5 to 15 years, and they guarantee that any defective panels will be repaired or replaced.

It’s peace of mind that your system is built to last—and protected if anything goes wrong.

Inverter Product Warranty

Your inverter does the heavy lifting—turning solar energy into usable power for your home. It’s the hardest-working part of your system, and often the first thing to need replacing over time.

That’s why the inverter warranty matters most. These typically last 5 to 12 years, depending on the brand, and cover repairs or replacements if something goes wrong.

We’ll help you choose an inverter with the right warranty and performance to match your system—and your peace of mind.

Installation Warranty

This warranty covers the quality of our work. If anything isn’t quite right with how your system was installed, you’re protected.

Our installation warranty typically lasts 2 to 5 years, covering both parts and labour for any fixes needed due to installation errors and issues. Most problems—if they happen—show up early, so you’ll have full peace of mind that everything’s been fitted safely, securely, and professionally.
