BrightGridSolar projects can involve several different warranties. Understanding what each warranty covers is important because a panel warranty is not the same as an installation warranty or inverter warranty.
| Warranty | What it generally covers |
|---|---|
| Product warranty | Manufacturing and product defects |
| Performance warranty | Minimum expected panel output over time |
| Inverter warranty | Inverter equipment |
| Battery warranty | Battery equipment and specified performance conditions |
| Installation warranty | Installation workmanship |
What should you check?
- Warranty duration
- Who provides the warranty
- Transferability
- Registration requirements

- Performance conditions

Why installer quality matters
Equipment warranties do not replace good installation practice. Poor installation can create problems even when the equipment itself has a long manufacturer warranty.
Choose a properly specified solar system
Compare equipment, warranties and installation scope before making a decision.
