Inverter Warranties
What is covered in your warranty?
Each warranty is unique, with a handful of important aspects worthy of consideration.
Product Warranty
It is an industry standard for a manufacturer’s warranty to cover the cost of the materials required to repair your inverter. Sometimes, issues can be resolved merely with firmware updates, while replacement parts may be required with others. Often, manufacturers may opt to replace the malfunctioning inverter with a new one. This is done at the discretion of the solar repair technician and the manufacturer.
Step 2
Labor
Manufacturer warranties will often cover the labor costs associated with a repair or replacement. Be sure to read the fine print or ask your solar installer. If you have not yet installed solar, choose a quality contractor who is certified in the industry and will correctly install your renewable energy system according to the manufacture’s guidelines. Failure to use a certified installer may nullify the warranties.
Step 3
Shipping/import Charges
Most inverters are produced outside the US, and replacements parts could require international shipping. Customs duties and shipping charges incurred during transit may be the homeowners' responsibility if it is not covered by the manufacturer warranty.
