System Warranties
Most Solar Systems sold within Australia are issued with a comprehensive warranty on products and installation, however it is common for these warranties to be void should your system not be serviced or maintained.
It is therefore very important that you understand your warranty requirements. Please refer to your initial documentation from your installation company. Should your installation company no longer be in operation we can guide you in the right direction.
Full warranty documentation and contact details for most inverters and panels are available on our website. For more specific information about your system and warranty support please contact your product supplier or our Customer Care team on 1300 40 41 42.
Faulty Inverter Replacement
