The performance warranty that everyone offers, 25 years. Who's going to prove that your panel's not working in 10 years time or such like. With a lot of those cheap companies or cheaper panels, good luck in trying to claim them. We just had one just recently and they've closed their office in Australia, and you're going to go back to Shanghai to claim your your warranty. You're going to take the panel off the roof put it in the post and send it to the company? I don't think so. And if you managed to get it over back to China, it'd be, yeah, yeah, so what? They're in Australia, we're in China, you're never going to get any warranty whatsoever from it. And see you later there goes your warranty. And even these cheaper companies they can close tomorrow. They only offer 10 or 12 year warranty and it's hardly worth the piece of paper it's ever written on.
Most important is the manufacturer's warranty, 25 years manufacturing warranty cannot be beaten. My whole philosophy of the whole thing is putting good quality system on where I don't have to go back in six months time to replace something. Every time you're getting your car to drive from point A to point B cost you. So do it once and do it right.
